 it's good to read the instructions Feb 21, 2009
By Ellen J. Jefferies
"the MuddyBottoms Gang"
Safe-Guard is a fine product when used as directed. It's been around a long time. I hope the gentleman with the Yorkie didn't give this size dose to his Yorkie; it treats a 40lb dog. This wormer also requires 3 doses on successive days. So if the Yorkie's owner only dosed once, no wonder it didn't work. It comes in powdered form so it can be mixed with food; for dogs that don't like pills, that's a good idea. If you try to give it like a pill, well, yes, what a mess.

 get 2 boxes to treat a large dog Dec 07, 2009
By Caralien
I've dinged them a star because of the "large dog" misnomer ; 2 boxes will be needed for dogs in the 80lb range (1 packet per 40lbs of dog x 3 days), more if you have giant dogs (I've personally never met a little German shepherd--as depicted on the box--who was 40lbs or less).
Our dog wouldn't eat it the powder tossed onto her food, so instead we poured it on our palms and drizzled blackstrap molasses on top, mixing with fingers. I don't think she ever enjoyed medicine as much as during those 3 days!
The worms disappeared, and there were no digestive issues with the medication.
We ordered 3 boxes, as our local store only had 1; at $10/box, it made sense to have an extra set on hand just in case.

About the only brand that kills Whipworms Sep 04, 2011
By Shana
"That's my opinion- I could be wrong!"
We have a large pit bull that somehow got a bad case of Whipworms as diagnosed by our vet. Unfortunately, we can't afford to visit the vet 10x a year (as one reviewer boasted), especially since we run a dog & cat rescue. So, our vet recommended Safe-guard to kill the whipworms in case our dog got reinfected. Our vet said this is about the only OTC wormer out there for dogs to kill whipworms. Usually, we use Happy Jack (which is an excellent wormer) which kills only tape and hookworms.
Our pit bull Hutch isn't a picky eater at all, so adding this powder to a can of wet dog food worked great. He gobbled every last drop up. After giving him the doses over the 3 days I could tell he was feeling much better. After a month he is still doing great.
For Whipworms I'd definitely suggest this wormer. The only drawback to me is that you have to buy so many boxes for a very large dog. Though, I'm very glad that I am able to buy this without going back to the vet if any of our dogs ever got Whipworms again.

ALWAYS check with your vet first. Mar 06, 2012
By I Read
This product is exactly the same as the ingredient in Panacur. It has been around forever, and works perfectly well for the worms it is intended to treat. Tapeworms require a different product. Obviously, your dog should be diagnosed at your vet's office. Then you will know WHAT type of worms your dog has, and what treatment is necessary. It goes without saying that you must READ the directions as well as get instructions from your vet. I find mixing the powder with canned food or a glob of yogurt is all you need to do to get your dog to gobble it up. Your dog should also be on a heartworm preventative, and most of these products will have the added benefit of preventing several other types of parasites.

 Word to the wise... Sep 10, 2009
By E. B. Self
Warning to people who have self-diagnosed their dog - although Safe-guard claims to cure four types of worms, there are multiple types of Tapeworms, and safe-guard does not get rid of THE MOST COMMON TYPE OF TAPEWORM. So if you're dog has tapeworms (looks like small grains of white rice in stool) I suggest a tapeworm-specific product. I just wasted money because I didn't do my research, I guess that's my stupid-tax..
Other then that, I've heard only good things about Safe-guard and it comes highly recommended from many a people who strive not to take their dogs to the vet 10 times a year.
