This is the same active ingredient and the same dog dose as the single-dog packets, in a bulk container that you weigh out with a gram scale. That suits a kennel worming many dogs on a schedule.
Fenbendazole is commonly cited by veterinarians, including in CAPC guidance, as a treatment for Giardia in dogs. That use is off this label, courses are usually longer than 3 days, and your veterinarian sets them.
A protocol widely cited in veterinary literature gives fenbendazole daily to the pregnant bitch from about day 40 of gestation through about 2 weeks after whelping, to reduce roundworm and hookworm passed to the puppies. It is commonly used in breeding kennels under a veterinarian's direction.
This describes common practice in the breeding and veterinary world. It is not advice or a recommendation for your animals.
Always ask your veterinarian before off-label use.
