I’ve had to deworm my puppy about 3 times now and the kind I buy just isn’t working because I found another one in his poop! I know tapeworms are common when dogs also have fleas, but I’ve controlled the fleas. I just need to know the most effective way or brand of dewormer I can use to get rid of the tapeworms. They don’t affect his appetite but I need them gone!!!

The best tapeworm treatments contain Praziquantel. If the medication contains this active ingredient, then it appears the fleas are not under control. The best flea preventatives are oral products like Simparica and Nexgard. I hope this helps.
