Can I use Safeguard Equine paste to deworm my 8-week-old puppy?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Bloodhound | Male | unneutered | 1 month and 22 days old | 15 lbs

How much Safeguard Equine paste can be given to Bloodhound puppies 8 wks old and weighing 10-15 lbs for parasites. I have given it to older puppies for 3 days in a row. Worked great.

Safeguard Equine paste is not suitable for puppies nor is it licensed for dogs. It is an equine wormer and only licensed for equines. I am afraid we are not legally in the position to recommend a dosage to you.
