    The manufacturer advises against it. They make a safeguard formula specific to canines.

    "21. CAN I USE SAFE-GUARD PASTE FOR HORSES OR SAFE-GUARD SUSPENSION FOR CATTLE TO TREAT MY DOG?

    We do not recommend that you treat your dog with Safe-Guard formulations for large animals. These formulations are not labeled for use in dogs.

    Safe-Guard Canine Dewormer is conveniently pre-packaged to ensure accurate dosing in dogs." http://www.safe-guard-for-dogs.com/faq.html#21

    They aren't going to recommend it, they want you to go out and buy separate wormers for all obviously to make more money. But yes, you can use it. I am not sure of the dosages. Google it though, lots of people do it.

    I am not an expert, but I would have to say horses have different kind of worms then cats and dogs.Don't give this to them unless you are trying to kill them.
