Dosage and
administration
Routine
treatment of adult dogs and cats
Administer 100mg fenbenbazole per 1 kg (2.2 lbs)
bodyweight as a single dose.
Practical dosage recommendations:
1 g sachet /dose Treats 2kg (4.4lb) bodyweight
as a single dose (1.1 – 2.2kg)
1.8 g sachet / dose Treats 4kg (8.8lb)
bodyweight as a single dose (2.2 – 4.4kg)
4.5 g sachet /dose Treats 10kg (22lb) bodyweight
as a single dose (5 – 10kg)
For dogs weighing over 10 kg (22 lbs),
additional sachets are required according to the
additional bodyweight.
Assess bodyweight as accurately as possible and
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.
e.g. For a 9kg dog = 2kg dose (1g sachet) + 4kg
dose (1.8g sachet) + 4kg dose (1.8g sachet).
i.e. one × 1gram sachet + two × 1.8gm sachets
(10kg dose)
or one × 4.5gram sachet (10kg dose)
Treatment should be repeated when natural
re-infection 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.
Weaned puppies and kittens under six months of
age
Administer 50mg fenbendazole per 1 kg (2.2 lbs)
bodyweight daily for 3 consecutive days.
Practical dosage recommendations:
1 g sachet /dose Treats 4kg (8.8lb) bodyweight
(minimum weight 2.2kg) dosed daily for three
consecutive days (2.2 – 4.4kg)
1.8 g sachet / dose Treats 8kg (17.6lb)
bodyweight dosed daily for three consecutive
days (4.5– 8kg)
4.5 g sachet /dose Treats 20kg (44lb) bodyweight
dosed daily for three consecutive days (10–
20kg)
For
dogs/puppies weighing over 20 kg (44 lbs),
additional sachets are required according to the
additional bodyweight.
Assess bodyweight as accurately as possible and
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.
N.B. Smaller or unweaned puppies and kittens
should be treated with Panacur 2.5% or 10%
Liquid or Panacur Paste.
e.g. For a 9kg dog = 4kg dose (1g sachet) + 8kg
dose (1.8g sachet) daily for 3 consecutive days.
i.e. one × 1gram sachet + one × 1.8gm sachets.
(12kg) dose daily for 3 days
or three × 1gram sachet (12kg dose) daily for 3
days
Puppies should be treated at 2 weeks of age, 5
weeks of age and again before leaving the
breeder's premises. Treatment may also be
required at 8 and 12 weeks of age. Thereafter,
frequency of treatment can be reduced unless the
pups remain in kennels where reinfestation
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 (17.6lb) bodyweight
dosed daily for approx. 25 days
1.8 g sachet / dose Treats 16kg (35.2lb)
bodyweight dosed daily for approx. 25 days
4.5 g sachet /dose Treats 40kg (88lb) bodyweight
dosed daily for approx. 25 days
For bitches weighing over 40 kg, 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
and 5 weeks of age with Panacur 2.5% or 10%
Liquid 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.

in adult dogs and cats or Giardia spp.
infections in dogs, administer 50mg fenbendazole

consecutive days.

osleri in dogs administer 50mg fenbendazole per
