Tape Worm Tabs for Dogs and Cats
What are Tape Worm Tabs?
Tape Worm Tabs are tablets containing praziquantel, a medication used to rid tapeworm infestations in dogs and cats. Tape Worm Tabs are indicated for infestations of tapeworms including dipylidium caninum, a tapeworm transmitted by fleas. While Tape Worm Tabs are available without a prescription, veterinarian contact is necessary to use them. The cat product contains 23 mg of praziquantel, and the dog product contains 34 mg of praziquantel and they are not interchangeable. The dosing considerations listed below are general guidelines and should not take place of a veterinarian’s recommendations. Most cats and dogs will have their tapeworm infestation cleared up after one dose. However, if proper prevention is not employed they may reappear. Tape Worm Tabs should not be used in kittens under 6 weeks of age and puppies less than 4 weeks of age. Fasting is not recommended before giving Tape Worm Tabs, they may be given with food.

won't order from this company again
From Starke, FloridaComments about Tape Worm TabsDirections confusing. Came with 3 pills but did not say whether to give 1 per day 3 days in a row, 1 per month 3 months in a row, or 1 whenever tapeworms were seen. Cat wouldn't swallow pill. Crushed 1 & mixed in food, she ate it, had diarrhea all day, I emailed in for help with directions twice & they emailed back once with same directions on bottle which still didnt explain when the 3 pills were to be given. Crushed #2 pill & put in cats food on day #2 taking a chance but she never ate it. #3 pill still in bottle unused. The 1 pill did seem to take away tapeworms but directions need to be more specific. I was very disappointed in the directions. -

From Naples, FL, USAComments about Tape Worm TabsI scanned the internet for an affordable way to end my cats suffering and found vetrxdirect.com . Their prices put 800petmeds to shame! Same high quality products for half the cost. One dose and two days later my cats were up playing like kittens again. Great job VeVetrx! -

From Montebello, CA, USAComments about Tape Worm TabsI had bought some cat tape worm pills about a month ago for my little one Micah.. The pills came super quick in the mail and not only did I receive the pills but there was also a little bag of treats! From now on I will buy my cat medicine from vetrx not only is it cheap but they seem like really good people and now I have a super happy kitty :)-

Actually Works
From South Palm Beach, Florida, USAComments about Tape Worm TabsWe stopped seeing the little sesame seeds within one day and it's been a week now and still nothing! My only complaint though is that it was very difficult to actually get the cats to take the pill. We tried mixing it with wet food, but they all just ate around it. We finally got the job done by crushing it, mixing it with water, and using a tube syringe. This was a nightmare, but nonetheless, the product worked and that's why I'm still giving it five stars. -
Easy to Administer
From Northern IllinoisComments about Tape Worm TabsI bought these since I have 3 barn cats that have to be regularly wormed for tapeworms. One of the important things for me in addition to working well is ease of giving it to them. I like the small size of the pills and in 2 seconds, I have them down the hatch and they have no idea what I just did. It's a little pricey but worth it for the ease of use for me.-

Saved me a trip to the vet!
From Ardmore, OKComments about Tape Worm TabsAfter noticing those fragments all over the cat's bedding, and being financially strapped at the time, I ordered these tablets in lieu of making an expensive vet appointment. The price was excellent and seemed almost too good to be true, but the reviews said otherwise. I'm glad I listened to the reviews! I was able to crush these into my cat's food and disguise the taste with tuna juice. I can not emphasize enough how immediate this product worked! There have been ZERO fragments anywhere since the day I gave this to the cat! Highly recommended! -

Q & A
-
How often should I administer? If you have 2 cats , should I give the pill to both at the same time??
-
A single treatment may be sufficient, but a second dose 2-4 weeks later is recommended if re-infection is likely. To maximize the benefit of deworming, it is best to treat all animals in the environment. Thank you, VetRxDirect

It is difficult to get tablets in my cats (4 of them). Do these have a pleasant taste? Or, would it work to crush them & put in their wet food? Also, is there a liquid wormer for cats (for tape worms) that can be put in a syringe??
-
These do not have a flavor but they can be crushed and mixed with your pet's food. Unfortunately, there is not a liquid form of wormer for tape worms. Thank you, VetRxDirect

Our dogs are around 90 to 100 lbs. Will this work for them. Tapeworms are visible. ?
-
Even though this medication does not need a prescription, it’s recommended to contact a veterinarian to verify the diagnosis and dosing of the treatment. According to the manufacturer’s website, dogs over 60 lbs should take 5 tablets once. Please note that fasting is not recommended during administration and side effects include vomiting and diarrhea. Your veterinarian can also be a helpful resource when trying to avoid reinfection, which typically occurs due to ingestion of fleas or small mammals. Thank you, VetRxDirect
