My senior yorkie has tapeworm. What affordable OTC dewormer?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Yorkshire Terrier | Male | neutered | 4 lbs

What over the counter product can I get for my 16 yr old 4lb yorkie that has tapeworm? I am on disability now and do not have the funds to take him to a vet. I saw the tapeworm in his BM today and found segments in his bedding. Will you please help me?

Hi, thanks for using PetCoach! Dogs get tape worm from fleas so be sure you also start a good flea preventative. Below is a link to a non-prescription tape worm dewormer. Good luck! https://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=35693
