Pro-Sense Safe-Guard 4, Canine Dewormer for Dogs, 3-Day Treatment

This is a long review, but I'm a bit too excited right now and can't stop typing! I wasn't paying attention while walking my pup one morning and I noticed a bit too late that he was snacking on a pile of poop. He never has eaten his own poop or any other dogs', so I was shook and thought I saw it wrong and brushed it off. Anyways, within the next week, he started showing symptoms that he's not well and I started googling everything I can. I ended up calling my vet and explaining to them what I saw a week ago. They told me that it might've been an outdoor cat's poop or another type of animal (not dog most likely) and that my dog most likely has worms. They wanted me to come in for testing and fluid injections (he wasn't drinking much water for past 24 hrs) which would cost me $350+ with meds. They, also, offered that I can just simply get a dewormer from them and try to force fluids and food and then come in a week or so later for fecal test. I immediately ordered this medication and it got here the next day (thanks Prime!). It's a powdered mix, so I was a bit confused how to get him to eat this medication, but ended up figuring it out. I dumped the packet into scrambled egg (fried w/coco oil) and rice mix while the egg was still wet and runny so that the powder can stick to it. He ate it all up without any suspicion! Anyways, 2 days after taking these meds, he was back to semi normal again. Main thing - he was hungry & thirsty, woo! Five days later, he was no longer lethargic and ready to play! This costs pennies compared to what my vet was going to prescribe him for dewormer. I feel bad for making him suffer an extra day, but the wait was worth it. I will now be sure to keep at least 1 order of these just in case! One of the best purchases I've made tbh

My dog weighs about 15 pounds so I picked the Medium version. It comes with 3 packets inside. Each pack has 2 grams of the powder. You give one pack a day. I love this because it is really easy to give to my dog. I can't ever get my dog to take pills easily. Squeezing liquid into her mouth is just a big mess also. This powder I just mix really well with her soft food at night. She doesn't seem to mind and eats it all up quickly. So I guess it taste OK. I didn't notice any smell to the powder either. It is a lot of powder and it doesn't completely mix in with the food. It was all eaten so I guess that is OK. She did not get sick or act funny after the three doses. I did not notice any negative effects on her. I like this because it controls tapeworms, roundworms, hookworms and whipworms all in one product. It says it is effective for 6 months so I only have to give it to her twice a year. Easy for me and keeps her healthier. Very happy with this dog dewormer.

Two features about this dewormer attracted me: the range of types of worms it treats and the fact that the treatment is spread over 3 days. It worked perfectly for our dog and was a cinch to give her. The medicine comes in three little pouches, and it's a very fine powder. I imagine most dogs would lick it up with their regular food. Our dog was feeling sick enough to turn her nose up at the usual kibble, so we mixed the powder into some plain mashed potatoes. Instant success. The powder blended right in to the potatoes, which are easy on a sick dog's stomach. She started feeling better after the first dose and was completely better the day after the final, third dose. She tested clear of worms at the vet the next week. This is definitely the kind of treatment you give for a dog that has worms. I think it's overkill as a preventative measure, though. There are cheaper liquid or pill dewormers that can be given in one dose, once a month. That's what we'll start doing from now on, but this brand is great for effectively solving an existing problem.

Worked in the 3 days. My dog was having diarrhea and was having trouble keeping food down. Nothing else was helping so I got her this and by the 2nd day she was back to solid movements and by the 3rd day she was better.

We accidentally bought this one instead of the size up that we actually needed, for our German Shepherd x Lab puppy. We were afraid since it was not the right size, there would not be enough product to serve the purpose but we were wrong. Even though it was the wrong size for his weight, it still worked! A couple people in the reviews were saying their dogs hate the taste. I personally did not have a problem with the taste with my puppy. It does get all over the place, since it it a powder, so be prepared for that! My puppy didn't mind the taste of this no matter how I gave it to him. (Out of my hand by itself, wrapped in cheese, mixed in food) Worms were gone after using. Awesome product, great shipping speed.

Effective Meds

We took in a rescue pup who had been covered in fleas, that had supposedly been dewormed at animal control but they use pyrantel which apparently killed nothing. Two weeks later, I saw live tapeworms in the new pup’s stools. On the rescue’s advice I bought this product and dewormed all of our dogs even though they were a symptomatic. Two weeks after, I saw live tapes again in Hugo’s stools. Fortunately, I had ordered a box of the Bayer wormer which ONLY kills tapeworms and that took care of it. My vet said THIS product is pretty effective on roundworms but only 85% effective on tapeworms. My dogs didn’t like the flavor even mixed into their wet food, but I was able to coax everyone into getting their full 3 days. In all truth, most of my rescue friends are pretty happy with this product. Personally, I haven’t dealt with this issue in many years, since the day of Droncit, which was RX only. If you have a new relatively clean dog, which no visible parasites, this is probably good enough. Prazanquel is 3 times the price and not a broad spectrum anti-parasitic where as this is.

My puggle got tapeworms and the vet who is wonderful told me the 1 dose meds would be $40.00. I decided to try this first and ordered it because it got such good reviews. Every time my dog got up I would find a dozen segments of the tapeworm on my bed which looked like tan rice. I gave her the first dose and the next morning I found only 2-3 segments of the worm. After the second dose, completely gone. My dog had no problem with it (no vomiting which happens in 3 out of 240 dogs). Just mixed it in wet food and she ate it right up. Very happy that my dog is better and I saved $35.00. Well worth a try but I give it 5 stars and will buy another box as a preventative. Excellent product.

Our dog had diarrhea for several weeks. After a $100+ vet visit, he still continued with daily diarrhea In desperation we tried Safe Guard dewormer. It takes 3 days of treatment. Sprinkled it on his food - he loved the taste. Best of all it worked. It’s been a month, and diarrhea free.

I would have given 5 stars, but the product expires in February 2015 already. The expire date should have been at least a full year. Otherwise, prompt delivery, no problems at all.

Our dog ended up being admitted to the emergency vet hospital with severe gastroenteritis within 24 hours of being given this wormer. Thankfully she is on the mend now. She has never had a negative reaction to wormer before.

I am very happy with the purchase as my dog became much more active and playful after the treatment; no side effects, no fus, I put it in a little water, gave him some salty bacon and voila! 3 days in a row and we are happy tails again! Definitely will keep this seller in mind. Fast shipping, good instructions, great price. Thank you!
