Panacur Granules 22.2%

Panacur Granules 22.2% is an oral anthelmintic (dewormer) used in dogs for certain intestinal parasites. This page explains typical uses, general dosing-course patterns, safety considerations, and practical storage guidance. Ships from Canada to US, with cash-pay options for pet owners without insurance when applicable.

What Panacur Granules 22.2% Is and How It Works

This product contains fenbendazole, a benzimidazole-class antiparasitic. Fenbendazole works by disrupting parasite energy processes, which can reduce their ability to survive and reproduce. In plain terms, it targets susceptible worms in the intestinal tract so they can be cleared through normal bowel movements. Coverage depends on the parasite and the treatment plan set by a veterinarian.

CanadianInsulin operates as a prescription-referral service for medications dispensed by licensed Canadian pharmacies. That matters because requirements can vary by jurisdiction, and documentation may be needed before a pharmacy can release a veterinary antiparasitic.

Who It’s For

Fenbendazole granules are commonly used in dogs when a veterinarian suspects or confirms susceptible intestinal worms. The exact indications depend on local labeling and the parasite involved. Some clinics use fecal testing to confirm what is present, since signs like diarrhea, weight changes, or a pot-bellied look in puppies can have multiple causes.

Panacur Granules 22.2% may be considered for dogs with a known or suspected worm burden, including multi-pet households where reinfection risk can be higher. It may not be appropriate for every dog or every parasite type, and it is not a substitute for veterinary diagnosis. If a dog is very young, pregnant, debilitated, or has ongoing vomiting, a veterinarian may choose a different approach or timing.

Dosage and Usage

Dosing for fenbendazole is based on body weight and the condition being treated. Product labels and veterinary instructions commonly use short courses, and some regimens are described as a 3-day sequence for certain intestinal worms. Other situations (such as persistent infections or specific organisms) may require a different duration or repeat course. Use the instructions provided with the product and those from the prescribing veterinarian.

Granules are typically measured and mixed with a small amount of food to encourage full ingestion. The goal is complete consumption of the measured portion, since partial intake can reduce effectiveness. If a dose is missed or vomited, the safest next step is to contact the clinic for guidance rather than doubling a dose.

Why it matters: Accurate weight helps avoid underdosing or overdosing.

Strengths and Forms

Panacur granules are supplied as a measured powder-like formulation intended for oral administration in dogs. “22.2%” refers to the concentration of active ingredient in the granules. Some packaging may also express this as fenbendazole granules 222 mg/g (or 222 mg fenbendazole per gram of product); confirm the exact statement on the carton or sachet you receive and follow that labeling.

Panacur Granules 22.2% is one option within a broader fenbendazole product family, which can also include liquid suspensions and pastes. Availability can differ by supplier and country, and the form chosen may depend on dog size, palatability, and how precisely doses must be measured. If swallowing or appetite is a concern, a veterinarian may recommend a different dosage form rather than changing the course on your own.

Storage and Travel Basics

Store granules in their original packaging, tightly closed, and protected from moisture. Room-temperature storage in a dry cabinet is typical for many oral veterinary powders, but always check the package insert for the specific temperature range and handling instructions for your lot. Keep all pet medicines out of reach of children and animals, and do not use product that looks clumped, discolored, or water-damaged.

If traveling, keep the sachets or container sealed and avoid leaving them in high-heat environments such as a parked car. When portioning doses, use a clean, dry measuring tool so the remaining granules stay stable. If the dog is boarded during treatment, leave written instructions and the original labeled package to reduce mix-ups.

Quick tip: Reseal promptly after measuring to limit humidity exposure.

Side Effects and Safety

Many dogs tolerate fenbendazole well, but side effects can occur. The more common issues are gastrointestinal, such as soft stools, diarrhea, vomiting, or reduced appetite. Mild lethargy can also be reported. These effects may be hard to separate from the underlying parasite problem, so it helps to note timing in relation to dosing and meals.

Stop treatment and seek veterinary care urgently if there are signs of a serious reaction, such as facial swelling, hives, trouble breathing, collapse, or persistent vomiting that prevents keeping water down. Dogs with significant dehydration, severe diarrhea, or other concurrent illness may require closer monitoring. When a prescription is needed, we confirm details with the prescribing veterinarian.

For supportive-care context when pets have nausea or vomiting from many causes, the guide Cerenia Uses And Dosage may help explain what veterinarians consider during symptom control.

Drug Interactions and Cautions

Fenbendazole has relatively few well-known drug interactions, but “few known” is not the same as “none.” Share a complete medication list with the veterinary team, including other dewormers, flea/tick products, antibiotics, supplements, and any recent steroid use. This is especially important for dogs with chronic disease, since symptom changes during treatment may be attributed to the wrong cause without a full picture.

Caution is also reasonable when multiple antiparasitics are used close together, or when the dog has a history of adverse reactions to parasite treatments. If a dog is on medicines that affect appetite or the gastrointestinal tract, the clinic may adjust timing or recommend monitoring. For examples of how veterinarians think about medication safety across conditions, see Apoquel Side Effects and Deramaxx For Dogs.

Compare With Alternatives

Antiparasitic selection depends on the suspected organism and the dog’s situation. Fenbendazole is often discussed for nematodes (roundworms) and related intestinal worms, while other drugs may be chosen for tapeworms (cestodes) or for broader coverage in one product. A fecal test can help avoid treating the wrong parasite and can guide follow-up timing.

Two commonly discussed alternatives are combination dewormers that cover multiple worm types and products focused on tapeworms. For example, some veterinarians use combination products such as Drontal Plus when mixed infections are suspected, or select a different formulation like Panacur Suspension when a liquid is easier to dose. For background on tapeworm-specific therapy considerations, the article Droncit Tapeworm Treatment explains how parasite type drives product choice.

Pricing and Access

Product costs can vary based on package size, dispensing pharmacy, and whether a prescription is required for the destination. Panacur Granules 22.2% is often requested as a cash-pay option when pet coverage is limited, and availability may differ across suppliers. US shipping from Canada is supported through our cross-border workflow, and required prescription information is collected when applicable.

Many listings are structured for people paying out of pocket without insurance, and the checkout process is designed around the documentation needed for safe dispensing. Many listings support cash-pay access when coverage is not available. If you are comparing site-wide specials across categories, you can review Promotions (availability and terms can change).

Authoritative Sources

For the most reliable information, use the package insert for your specific lot and any directions from the prescribing veterinarian. Because veterinary products can have country-specific labeling, external references are best used to understand the drug class, typical parasite targets, and safety considerations—then reconciled with the instructions provided with the product you received.
