Our general intake process to address parasites for dogs is:
Fenbendazole (Panacur) at 50mg/kg for 3 days for most internal parasites
Praziquantel (Droncit) different tab dosage depending on size for tapeworm
Selemectin (Senergy) at 6mg /kg on a single dose for external parasites
For cats it's pretty much the same except we more often use Revolution instead of Senergy and Pyrantel instead of Panacur. We also do a Woods Lamp exam for clinical signs of ringworm and then isolate, culture, and lime sulfur anyone with a suspected positive.
There's some circumstantial evidence that Oxamniquine (Silmox) has synergistic activity with Droncit and can be effective at addressing tapeworm, flatworm/flukes better than either drug alone, but no animal-specific trials have taken place.

Subject: Looking for input on the best intake protocol to treat all kinds of parasites
We have a protocol now, but part of that is pyrantel pamoate and several vets have indicated that its efficacy has been reduced and suggested a higher dosage per pound than what is indicated on the bottle for example.
I look forward to the feedback!
