Can I buy OTC dewormer for my 13-year-old dog with worms?

Question

Is there an over the counter medication for what appears to be worms in my 13 year old, male, neutered miniature pinscher dog

Jenny, DVM · Accepted Answer

Yes you can buy dewormer over the counter at any pet store or feed store. You will want to get one that is labeled for tapeworms also which will include praziquantel as an ingredient. Tapeworms are the most common at his age and look like small grains of rice. They get these from eating a flea, so you may need to look for flea control
