Puppies should be treated from the age of 2 weeks, every 2 weeks
there after until they are about 3 months of age. It is generally
accepted that nursing bitches should be wormed at the same time as
their puppies.

With a single dose Drontal controls every type of intestinal worm
normally found in cats and dogs in the UK. Drontal plus for dogs
contains pyrantel embonate and febantel which combined have a well
documented synergistic effect. Drontal Plus Dog and Drontal Cat
tablets contain praziquantel an effective and potent weapon against
tapeworm.
Regular routine
worming is important not only for the well being of your pet but also
to protect ourselves and our children a s we are in close contact with
our pets. Several worm species notably the roundworm, Toxopcara canis,
and the tapeworm, Echinococcus granulosus can be picked up by humans
with potentially serious consequences. It is recommended that pets
are wormed 3 to 4 times a year. It is difficult to prevent a dog or
cat becoming infected with worms but regular use of anthelmintics will
ensure that the worms are killed before they can cause serious damage
to the animal’s health.
When using Drontal
there is no need to disrupt the feeding routine as the tablets can be
given at any time.
Drontal Plus for
dogs comes in either a 2 or 6 tablet pack, 2 Drontal Plus Dog tablets
which treat a dog of between 16-20kgs. A Drontal Cat tablet will
treat a cat up to 4kgs in weight.
