I need fenbendazole for my Malamutes but the canine version is cost prohibitive based on their weight of 140lbs. Can I use this instead?

I use this on my Italian Greyhounds - from puppies to old age. "Pancur or fenbendazole" This was recommended to me by an old Vet - years ago! You can not over dose! Unless you give enough for over 200 pounds per 10 pound dog wt. So one of the smaller single horse wormers will last for 10 Italian Greyhounds which are an average 10 pounds body wt. each. Also a inject-able Ivermictin 50ml bottle, you can use on dogs. The AKC Gazette mag. gave out a formula. I believe it was one unite per 100 units. Each cc or ml is 100 unites. Make sure the strength of this drug is adjusted to units per pound of pet wt. The injectables come in 1% and the paste is 1.87%. Use a insulin syringe to draw up the dose. Then take the nettle off and apply down the spine starting with the neck. I apply just to the side of the spine though. Its an extra precaution. Make sure it gets to the skin and not only on the hair as you will not get the medicine to the dog to worm. This drug is the working drug in Heart Gard for dogs. The only difference is the company does the dosing by having you buy the average wt of your dog. If you only know the average wt of your dog then give less - to get a safety zone. This drug works by killing parasites by working on its nerves central system. So backing off the amount of drug will not harm the pet. I also use the Merck manual for Veterinarians. You can buy that on e-bay. Just an FYI tape worms do not have a central nerves system. Pancur or fenbendazole kill tape worms as they are a segment worm without nerves. You can find these wormers at a Agway/Blue Seal or online as paste wormers. Ivermectin comes in the paste form for horses. Now if you see your dog acting a little wobbly it is because you gave it a little too much. So the next time you give it less. Ivermectin can be dangerous if you over dose too much! Better to back off. Read the directions on the package how much per/pound/per'body wt. As this drug is given by wt. alone not by species. See links as follows: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivermectin / This one is info for humans = https://www.drugs.com/dosage/ivermectin.html / This one has tons of info for dogs = http://www.thedogplace.org/parasites/dog-wormers-dosage-chart_lanting-09.asp / Online Merck manual (you will need a med. dictionary find online) = http://www.merckvetmanual.com/mvm/index.html / http://www.petmd.com/dog/conditions#h-diseases / Breaking down the Veterinary Medical Terminology. http://www.vspn.org/Library/Misc/VSPN_M02371.htm / Copy-ed from Wikipedia, "Dogs with defects in the P-glycoprotein gene (MDR1), often collie-like herding dogs, can be severely poisoned by ivermectin." Hope this gives you a great start in keeping your dog healthy!!
