3 days if you want to make sure you get all worms.

Safe-guard for Pups:
Safe-guard is given to pups (like grow hounds) based on weight. I use a small food scale with a plastic basket to weigh the pups.

For their first few days (Day 5 thru Day 12) each day I let the pups lick a few drops of safeguard off my finger. On day 14, when they are 2 weeks old, I give each pup a one day dose, based on their weight. Beagle pups at 2 weeks old may be as small as 8 or 9 ounces or could already weigh over a pound. I do know they start to really take off and may double in weight every week for a while.

I give a one day dose of safeguard at 2, 3, 4, and 5 weeks. At 6 weeks old I give them a dose three days in a row. I then put them on the every-other month schedule with the big dogs.

Based on their weight, pups should get 2/10 of a cc per pound (lb). Safeguard is very “SAFE” and if you give a little too much, no harm is done. With this in mind, I do a little rounding up when worming very small pups. If a pup weighed 8 ounces or less, I would give them 1/10 of a cc. If they weigh 9 ounces up to 1 lb, they would get 2/10 of a cc.

caincotter is that measurment for liquid safeguard or the paste or is it the same for both jb
