The safeguard has fenbendazole in it.

The safeguard has fenbendazole in it.

Safeguard is 10% fenbendazole. The dose I recommended is the max dose shown in that picture, and it's also what my vet recommended when treating large roundworms or cecal worms.

Go for the gusto and get em all in one shot lol.
Gapeworms are different. A fecal will verify and differentiate between actual gapeworm eggs or a respiratory issue as symptoms can look similar. If it's gapeworms, hit them hard with higher doses for 5 days, withhold feed for 24-48 hours prior to worming. Worm monthly thereafter. There will be gapeworm eggs in soil for months to come.

Will use the info

If they were mine and I was going to a show I would treat one day. I would not want to risk them looking off at a show. When you come back, see if you can get some poop tested and treat accordingly.

Worming monthly over a long period of time will eventually end worms lifecycle (eggs in/on soil.)

Oh ok will treat them one day!!!!!!!
