Panacur Oral Suspension is a broad spectrum wormer for the treatment of roundworms, tapeworms, and lungworms in dogs and puppies. It is also utilized as an ovicidal to kill nematode eggs. Moreover, this treatment should be repeated when natural re-infestations with parasitic worms occurs. Lastly, Panacur Oral Suspension is highly safe to use on dogs and puppies over 2 weeks of age.
Panacur Oral Suspension - How it works?
Panacur Oral Suspension contains Fenbendazole as the active ingredient. It has a very gentle action that starves the worms by preventing them from absorbing glucose. The starvation then leads to the ultimate death of such parasites. The ingredient also helps in the thorough protection of such worms.
Dosage:
1 ml per 2.2 lbs. bodyweight as a single oral dose which equals to 100 mg Fenbendazole/lbs. bodyweight.
Practical dosage recommendations:
4.4 to 8.8 lbs. 4 ml dosage

For dogs weighing over 140 lbs. an extra ml is required for each additional 2.2 lbs. bodyweight.
Treatment needs to be repeated when natural reinfestation with parasitic worms occurs. Routine treatment of adult animals with minimal exposure to infection is advisable 2 to 4 times every year. If the dog is living in kennels then you can go for more frequent treatment at 6 to 8 weekly interval.

Give 0.5 ml per 2.20 lbs. bodyweight on a daily basis for 3 consecutive days. You can give this treatment after feeding to unweaned animals or mix it with the food. This equals to 50 mg Fenbendazole/lbs. bodyweight daily for three days.

best oral suspension we have got for our pack of dogs
If your cat is too fussy about taking deworming tablets, then Panacur oral suspension is the option. I recently tried it and was happy that Cuzy and Martha took it easily without any running round the houses. Is also available at best price at best vet care.
Previously I was using a spot on liquid for my dog's worms, but he used to run away from the medicine. I got this oral liquid from bestvet and my lil friend is doing well. I can mix the meds in his food and he almost take it full. Good that I got it.
