Tape worms are easy to kill, so the pills will probably do the trick.
I can't remember how old Crush and Dori are, (this is for dogs 8 weeks or older) but I have a great cure for fleas, worms and by also repelling mesquitos, it's a heartworm prevention as well.
This info was given to me by a "no-kill" shelter when I adopted my dog Savannah. They sell the EXPENSICE stuff, REVOLUTION, but they USE the very same thing in a "dirt cheap" version.
It's IVER-ON
It's Ivermectin liquid for cattle and you get it at farm supply stores (like Tractor Supply).
A bottle that would probably treat your 2 dogs for a year costs $20 to $22 depending on where you get it.
You use it just like you do Revolution or Frontline. (It is the same things as Revolution). You just use a syringe and squeese it between the shoulder blades and down the backbone to the tail.
You don't have any more fleas, ticks, mesquitos and your dogs will not have the worry of heartworms.
You use 1 1/2 cc per 14 pounds of dog, once a month. Just adjust amount according to weight.
Some dogs are allergic to it, but that is RARE. It won't do any serious damage, but you will know if they are allergic by the huge amount of itching or drooling...usually in Aussies, Collies, Shelties and GSDs. In that case, bathe and discontinue use.
The dogs can have a bath as soon as 2 hours after treatment.
(Control of fleas, heartworm, ticks and mites including ear mites and the Sarcoptic mange mite in dogs)
Hope this helps
