Linda- not entirely sure I agree... but it's late and this is off the top of my head. The other day I figured out that a 1 lb tub of the granules would treat approximately the same pounds of dog compared to the Safeguard liquid 1000ml bottle (I think the safeguard came out to cover approx one more dog)... the safeguard was less expensive (comparing online pricing for both). I did my math based on the Panacur label to measure one gram per 10lb of dog and 1lb = 454 grams. I know we often convert the gram to a tsp measurement- where did you get your numbers from? I'll look at the scoop that comes with the panacur tomorrow at work and see if I can get the same numbers you did.

I usually give Safegaurd for goats in the medium size bottle bought through Revival. I mix each dog's dose in some plain yogurt or if they seem to resist the plain yogurt, I add a little tuna fish to it and they gobble it right up. If I try and squirt that large amount for an 80 pound dog, they end up spraying it all over me and the floor. The pups are easier to give with a syringe.

Wendy....the directions (online) for the Panacur 22.2% granules was 1 teaspoon per 25 pounds and dosage for (online) liquid Safe Guard 10% (1 liter) was 1ml per 5 pounds. I did a search for how many teaspoons in a pound (dry matter) and it came out to be 96 teaspoons. If my math is right...the granules can only treat 10 dogs(75 pounds) for three consecutive days (with 6 tsp left over). With the SafeGuard you could treat 10 (75 pounds) using only 450 mls in three days and have enough to treat them again for another three days !! Please correct me if I am wrong ???

Hmmmm...where did you find the number 96? A teaspoon is a measure of volume and a pound is a measure of weight

In any case, there's an easier way to compare. The canine dosage for the granules is 1 mg per 10 pounds of body weight. There are 454 grams in the one pound tub, so it will treat a total of 4540 pounds - or around 1500 pounds of dogs for a three day treatment. It's nearly exactly the same number of doses as the liquid.

Too bad the granules are so much more expensive, because I agree they are easier for the big dogs.
