Description

If your dog has had fleas, there’s a chance they have tapeworms too. Tapeworm segments are easily seen around your pet’s anal region or in their poop, similar to grains of white rice. It’s not always obvious, though, that your dog has tapeworms, so the best way to identify a problem is through an exam performed by a veterinarian. Use Bayer Tapeworm Dewormer for Dogs to treat your pet. Tapeworms can transmit to dogs when they inadvertently consume fleas, most commonly when they lick, chew or bite at their hair and skin to relieve itching. Dogs that hunt or chase rodents and rabbits are also at an increased risk for infection. Luckily, one treatment with the recommended tablet dose of Bayer Tapeworm Dewormer safely removes tapeworms. Review product packaging for dosage and administration based on your dog’s body weight. In addition to treating with tapeworm dewormer, take steps to control fleas and rodents on the premises in order to prevent reinfection; otherwise, another round of the tapeworm dewormer for dogs will be necessary. This is especially true in cases of tapeworms transmitted by fleas where reinfection is almost certain to occur if fleas are not removed from the animal and its environment. Consult your veterinarian for assistance in the diagnosis, treatment and control of parasitism. Keep away from children.
