In weaned puppies & kittens, Panacur Granules treat gastrointestinal roundworms, as well as protozoa (Giardia spp) in puppies. They can also be used for the treatment of pregnant bitches to reduce prenatal infections with Toxocara canis & the transfer of T. canis & Ancylostoma caninum to their pups via the milk. Panacur Granules also treat cats & dogs with lungworm (Aelurostrongylus abstrusus in cats & Oslerus (Filaroides) osleri or protozoa Giardia spp in dogs). Panacur Granules are odourless, tasteless & easily mixed into food, so are readily consumed by animals. Panacur Granules are suitable for cats & dogs including pregnant bitches & queens, as well as weaned kittens & puppies weighing over 2.2kg.

Assess bodyweight as accurately as possible & then administer one or a combination of the above sachets, which most closely doses this bodyweight. The dose should be administered by mixing into the feed. Treatment should be repeated when natural reinfection with parasitic worms occurs. Routine treatment of adult animals with minimal exposure to infection is advisable 2 to 4 times per year. More frequent treatment, at 6 to 8 weekly intervals, is advisable for dogs in kennels.

Puppies should be treated at 2 weeks of age, 5 weeks of age & again before leaving the breeder's premises. Treatment may also be required at 8 & 12 weeks of age. Thereafter, frequency of treatment can be reduced unless the pups remain in kennels where re-infestation occurs more readily. Pregnant Bitches: Administer 25mg fenbendazole per 1kg (2.2lbs) bodyweight daily from day 40 of pregnancy continuously to 2 days post-whelping (approximately 25 days). Practical dosage recommendations:1 g sachet/dose: Treats 8kg bodyweight dosed daily for approx. 25 days 1.8 g sachet/dose: Treats 16kg bodyweight dosed daily for approx. 25 days 4.5 g sachet/dose: Treats 40kg bodyweight dosed daily for approx. 25 days For bitches weighing over 40kg, additional sachets are required according to the additional bodyweight. As this treatment of pregnant bitches is 98% effective, puppies from these bitches should themselves be treated with a 3 day course at 2 & 5 weeks of age with Panacur 2.5% or 10% Liquid Wormer or Panacur Paste. Treat the bitch at the same time at the routine adult dose rate (i.e. 100mg/kg as a single dose). Pregnant queens: Pregnant queens can be safely treated with Panacur Granules but only require a single treatment at the routine adult dose rate, as there is no pre-natal transfer of worm larvae in the queen. Administer 100mg fenbendazole per 1kg (2.2lb) bodyweight as a single dose. Increased dosing for specific infections: For the treatment of clinical worm infestations in adult dogs & cats or Giardia spp. infections in dogs, administer 50mg fenbendazole per 1kg (2.2lbs) bodyweight daily for 3 consecutive days.
