How often are puppies effected by tape worms (Dipylidium)? General Dog Discussions
Ok so I know all types of worms are harmful for dogs and any dog with worms should be checked out by a vet, but some people do deworming themselves, now I know that deworming puppies with over the counter medicines can be dangerous and have side effects, but there is a wormer called panacur c which seems to be the safest of them all, also I know tons and tons of people who used this product with no side effects at all, It claims to treat giardia, round worms, hook worms, whip worms, and tape worms, but only the taenia species of tape worms and not Dipylidium which is the most common kind caused by fleas, so my question is how harmful is the tape worms caused by fleas compared to round worms, whip worms, and hook worms.
