I don't seem to be able to get total control over fleas here in Florida and my dogs keep getting tapeworm.
The over the counter med for tapeworm is Praziquantel. It's easy to find the dosage, and I have a strong science background and am capable of measuring. I find that tablets containing the same chemical are sold to treat tapeworm in fish (I presume for commercial fisheries . . . marketed as Fish Tapes Forte). The cost per dose is a small fraction of what I pay to treat my dogs.
Is there any good reason not to use the fish stuff on dogs?
