Who has tapeworms?
Where pet owners find fleas, they’ll find tapeworms. Those white,
rice-like segments around the tail are not like other worms and cannot
be treated with most dewormer products. Pet owners can rid their dogs
and cats of tapeworms with veterinanian-preferred praziquantel in TAPE WORM TABS®.
Tapeworm Facts
Dogs and cats can be infested with two types of tapeworms. Fleas carry
the most common type, and rodents carry the less common type. Tapeworm
segments are often visible on the surface of your pet's stool. They
usually appear as short (1/2-3/4”), flat, white particles, that when
first passed are mobile; or they may be passed still connected in a
long, flat string. Dry segments may stick to your pet's hair, and look
similar to a grain of rice. Until recently, the only effective control
has required a prescription. However, this drug (Praziquantel) is now
available without a prescription, and is 100% effective in ridding your
pet of both types of tapeworms.
