Merck Safeguard Goat Dewormer, 125ml by Merck

I use this to deworm my dogs (Yorkies). You can find dosage charts online. I use a tuberculin syringe (needle removed) for accurate oral dosing but my dogs are tiny. The smell isn’t bad, it’s easy to use and it’s a good value, especially if you have a litter of puppies. Taste is okay I suppose they don’t act like it’s too terrible. It’s effective and I haven’t had any side effects and been using it for years.

We purchased several bottles of this three times a year for our chickens and deworming. Even though it says goat dewormer it’s OK to use on chickens. I find that it’s one of the more gentle warming medicines For Chickens and there’s only a couple day with holding eggs, but you feed the eggs back to the chickens, which gives them another dose of the warm medicine. It’s fast acting. It’s a little expensive but everything goes up. There’s no smell. It’s extremely easy to use you mix it with the chicken water and you do a three day treatment. The functionality does what it says. It kills worms and if you have worms in your poultry, you will see it Either by the end of the day, if you give it to them in the morning in their water, or you’ll see it in the very next morning. It works very well and I had a recommend it.

Fantastic product. Safe and effective. My go to!

this dewormer is good not only for goats, but for dogs as well!

Started taking about a tablespoon for 3 days on and a few days off. Did make my stomach cramp for a couple days but overall the pain from my upper abdomen that went under my belly button across to the other side is completely gone. It did not rid any of the 20 or so fatty tumors on my arms. Cannot get the cats to eat it. I imagine it works great for goats too. Glad I bought it rather than the powder stuff.

You know when your goats are out crying in the field and you think...I wonder if they have worms? Well, no need to fear any longer. Just give them this goat dewormer and you will be able to have peace of mind that they are crying for your attention instead. Worth every penny.

Seems to be effective! Our go to!

My RR puppy had loose stools since I brought her home. At first, I suspected stress diarrhea from the big changes a puppy goes through, but it persisted longer than it should have (nearly a month when all was said and done). She was wormed, as scheduled, by the vet, yet the loose stool persisted and seemed to come and go, no rhyme or reason. I try and avoid antibiotics and heavy measures when possible, instead looking for ways to promote healthy gut flora. Despite everything I tried, it made little difference. A few days after bringing her home, I switched her diet to raw in order to give her the best chance at a healthy flora. Given the duration and inconsistency, I began to suspect either giardia, or coccidia. Both can be common in puppies. I really didn't want to go the metronidazole route. I've been there with a previous puppy, before I knew any better, and the only way she would have normal stools was while on metro. The active ingredient in safe-guard is fenbendazole, and an off label use for it is to treat giardia. The jury is also out on whether or not it treats coccidia. Some believe it does. Others don't. Fenbendazole is much safer than metronidazole, and my pup would be due for her next worming, so I figured why not try it. I gave her a daily dose of 1ml per 5lb of body weight for 6 days. By the 4th day, her stools were actually taking on some form. Still soft, but with some form. I didn't hold my breath, as it had a history of coming and going. By the 6th day, they were even more formed and improving still. Now here we are a week and a half later, and she has the typical compact, dry, raw fed stool. This is the best her stool has been since I have had her. I'm not sure if it was the safe-guard 100%, could have been her system just finally adjusting, but it sure is coincidental that it happened while nearing the end of the dosing for a giardia infection. Anyway, I'm very happy. Hopefully we have no relapses.
