Hi I need to give my 7lbs yorkie a tapeworm treatment to travel to Europe. What is the least toxic medicine available and what is your opinion on Cestex. Thank you

Cestex is a perfectly good tapeworm treatment. At the appropriately labeled doses, most pet deworms are very safe. If you haven't already, I would consult with a veterinarian on starting the health certificate process. It can take several months to complete any necessary testing and getting the paperwork all lined up for international travel. And you will likely need a veterinarian's record of a medication prescribed for Henry for treatment of tapeworms.
