PetMeds Dog Worms 3 is an FDA-approved broad spectrum de-wormer for dogs and puppies. It is the most comprehensive OTC (no prescription required) de-wormer on the market, and is used to safely control and treat the three most common worms in dogs: roundworms, hookworms, and tapeworms. The chewable tablets are pork liver flavored, and 2 count and 12 count packages are available.
For: Dogs (12 weeks of age or older)
Benefits:
•
Protects your pooch by controlling and treating the most common canine intestinal worms such as roundworms, hookworms, tapeworms.
•
Comes in easy-to-administer pork liver flavored chewable tablet.
•
Flexible dosage to adapt to pet size.
•
Safe and effective.
•
FDA approved.
•
Made in the USA
How it works:
Each Dog Worms 3 chewable tablet contains pyrantel pamoate and praziquantel. Pyrantel pamoate causes the parasite to lose grip of the intestinal wall, which makes it pass out of the system naturally. Praziquantel damages the parasite's skin internally, so the parasite disintegrates and is removed by your dog's immune system.
Cautions:
The safety of Dog Worms 3 in breeding dogs and pregnant bitches has not been determined.

Tape worms
Worked great! Instant results

Yes, it worked for Eddie!
My 16 year old Jack Russell is always nervous at the vet so when I noticed he had tapeworms I decided to try Dog Worms 3.
It took a few days for me to know for certain - he's a bit shy too. But when Eddie's coat began to improve and he was putting back on the weight he'd lost I had a feeling it may have worked.
It did. Today i was able to confirm that Dog Worms 3 worked for Eddie.

Tapes worms gone!
I don't know about other types of worms, but my dog had a tape worm problem and DW3 made quick work of it. Very cost effective too, to treat my 6 dogs. MUCH better than the $400+ vet bill would be.

Thank you for your question unfortunately Dog Worms 3 is for dogs at 6lbs and over, you may want to look at another dewormer called Panacur C, item# 10672, it is made for small dogs such as yours.
Thank you for your recent question. Heartworm prevention medication is a prescription medication and we would suggest to have your vet which knows your furry pal best advise you onto which medication to use. As for our most popular Heartworm preventative we would suggest Heartgard Plus or the generic which is Iverhart Plus. Give your furry pal a belly rub from us.
You can use Heartgard Chewables with the Dog Worms 3. However, if you use Heartgard Plus, there is no need to use Dog Worms 3 along with it because the Heartgard Plus covers heartworms, roundworms, and hookworms as well......
Sorry not this brand. I own five dogs and always wormed them with a strictly worming medication once a year. Them I went to just heartworm preventive medication (liquid) without the benefits of treating other types of worms. My dogs now have worms which I tried treating withing Dog Wormer3 with no luck. You would be wise to treat you dog once a year to stay safe. Good Luck
