Treats More Worms
SAFE-GUARD® treats 6 different intestinal worm types common to the outdoor dog with only one compound, fenbendazole. So you can treat more with less, minimizing your dog’s chemical exposure.
- Tapeworm (Taenia pisiformis)
- Roundworm (Toxocara canis)
- Roundworm (Toxascaris leonina)
- Hookworm (Ancylostoma caninum)
- Hookworm (Uncinaria stenocephala)
- Whipworm (Trichuris vulpis)

Ease of Application
Dogs readily accept SAFE-GUARD Canine Granules. When mixed in food, dogs usually eat it without fuss, which helps to ensure they receive a complete and proper dosing.
Unique Mode of Action: The Power of Fenbendazole
Fenbendazole, the active ingredient in SAFE-GUARD, features a unique mode of action that makes it uniquely attracted and potent to the cells of the parasite rather than the cells of the dog, keeping your dog safe.

Administer Less Often
Dogs over six months of age should be dewormed at least twice a year with SAFE-GUARD Canine Dewormer. Compare that to other options, some of which require monthly application.
Consult With Your
Veterinarian
Your veterinarian is your dog’s other best friend. It is a good idea to schedule regular visits to discuss your pet’s overall health and immunization program. Consult your veterinarian for assistance in the diagnosis, treatment and control of parasitism.
