Common dog and puppy dewormers come in liquid, tablets and chewables, both over the counter and with a prescription. Consult your veterinarian regarding the best deworming treatment plan for your dog or puppy.
Can I deworm my dog over-the-counter?
There are two over-the-counter dewormers for dogs with praziquantel — Bayer quad dewormer and Bayer tapeworm dewormer for dogs. Most over-the-counter deworming medications do treat other types of tapeworms, like the ones dogs can get from eating rodents.
What is the best over-the-counter dewormer for a dog?
1. SENTRY HC Dewormer – Best Overall. You only have to give your dog SENTRY HC once a month, but that's all you need to knock out tapeworms, hookworms, ringworms, and more. There are two tablets per package, so if you don't get all the parasites the first time around, you'll have another bullet in the chamber.
Do you need a prescription for deworming?
You can buy mebendazole from a pharmacy for adults and children from the age of 2 years. For children between 6 months and 2 years old, it is only available on prescription. Common brand names include Vermox and Ovex.
