RE: Tapeworm Remedies for Dogs Post By (Guest Post) (11/03/2008) Well studies have show that pumpkin seeds kill tapeworms in human so it should do the same in dogs. That sounds safe to me.

I also have a ten year old daughter and I will tell you right now a Doctor isn't the only way to go. When my daughter has a physical health problem, I research through the proper channels and figure out if the problem is treatable. I don't ignore the problem, but I research and make an educated decision about whether we need a doctor, a home remedy, or simply time to heal. I do the same thing with my dog. Serious problems require vet care, but if I can find a remedy for a not-too-serious problem and save the money it costs for a doctor/vet visit, I'll do it. I've had several trips to the dr. this year that ended with the dr. giving advice to do something I was already doing. My personal opinion is that if you can't tell me something I don't already know, I probably don't need to pay you. Thanks for the information on tapeworms, I will now weigh my options. :) Report Spam or Abuse RE: Tapeworm Remedies for Dogs Post By Nichole (Guest Post) (06/22/2008) I just bought the OTC D-worm. It has the same active drug Droncit just not as strong because Droncit is an injection. Kinda scary that a vet tech wouldnt know this...glad she doesn't work for mine!

The D-Worm is same as Droncit and the other one called Tape Worm is Praziquantel. These do kill tape worms and are over the counter. Praziquantel (Droncit) - VeterinaryPartner.com - a VIN company. The Praziquantel is what Droncit contains. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Tapeworm Remedies for Dogs Post By PadPal (Guest Post) (07/16/2007) Yes you can get over the counter meds that kills tapeworms. I used a farnam Pill and another company called happy jack made a pill those both worked. Problem is you can't get those anymore. You can now use D-Worm it is the one that is a lighter blue and for Tapeworms. It is sold at Pet Smart and places like this. Another one is Tape Worm I found it all over the internet. It is not too costly. Can always check with places like Farm Land. Any place that sells grains,hay things like that. They can help you find a product that kills Tape Worms.

It was costing me a fortune to take 5 dogs to the vet. I found out that there is a pill that covers tapeworm, it is combined with other worms also, but, tapeworm is the main ingredients job to destroy. The pill goes by weight, and for a 7 pound fat chihuahua, it cost me $5 for one pill. The other dogs were smaller, but, each got the one pill treatment. I just stick it in peanut butter and they love it. The pills work wonderfully. Ask your vet for the pill, I buy it over the counter at our Animal Hospital vet.

In order to prevent having to pay for multiple tapeworm treatments for your dogs, treat them for fleas at the same time.

I've never seen these meds in any on-line source. The pills are dolled out with the weight of the pet in mind. I had a rottie, and it was always more to take care of him than my other, much smaller dog. I spend about $30.00 getting the pills for each of my cats, and I do not live in a high cost area. There are several types of meds that you can get though, and some are much more expensive than others -- the two pill variety does cost more. Check another vet if possible. If not, call to see if he has another type of med available to you that may be cheaper, even if not as convenient. If you do get one that needs multiple pills, make sure you give them all, and don't scrimp to try to save money. Doing so may cause your pet health problems.

(Guest Post) (11/07/2006) Go to a local Feed & Seed store or even some small private owned pharmacy, and ask for the medicine to treat tapeworms in dogs. The pharmacy we have sold me the meds for less than $3. You will have to know how much your dog weighs. That will determine which and how much meds it will need.

There is NOT a home remedy to get rid of tapeworms. I would call around to your local vet hospitals and ask for a multi-pet discount. Your dogs must be injected with a medication called Droncit. This medicatrion is the most effective for this. There is not an over the counter medication. Calling a company like Pet-Meds requires a prescription from your veterinarian. It would be less costly to go to your local clinic, I would even call the local shelter and ask them. Take Care....

My vet charged $25 for one dog and $33 for the other - don't really know why, but they got different medications. That's a lot cheaper, tho, than what your vet quoted. By the way, they sold me the pills to give the dogs myself - I didn't have to pay them to dose the dogs.

I can tell you that I would never try any home remedies to cure a problem. I know it is expensive, but you need to go with what your vet recommends. Maybe there is another vet in your area that could treat it a little cheaper? I would NEVER recommend trying anything else but what the professionals say to do.
