Panacur Granules
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:
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.
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:
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.
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:
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.
Increased dosing for specific infections
For the treatment of clinical worm infestations in adult dogs and cats or Giardia spp. infections in dogs, administer 50mg fenbendazole per 1kg (2.2lbs) bodyweight daily for 3 consecutive days.
For control of lungworm Oslerus (Filaroides) osleri in dogs administer 50mg fenbendazole per 1kg (2.2lbs) bodyweight, daily for 7 consecutive days. A repeated course of treatment may be required in some cases.
For the control of lungworm Aelurostrongylus abstrusus in cats administer 50mg fenbendazole per 1kg (2.2lbs) bodyweight daily for 3 consecutive days.
