Drontal Plus Flavour Worming Tablet For Dogs Price Per Tablet

Drontal Plus Flavour has the same power, the same effectiveness as Drontal Plus, but now with an appetising chicken flavour. Like all Drontal tablets, it works with a single dose, and can be given with or without food. In fact it still gives you all the advantages of Drontal Plus. But for dogs, the new chicken flavour makes it less like a treatment, and more like a treat.Unfortunately, there is no tablet or injection you can give a dog which will prevent worm infection. The best you can do is to kill any worms which may be present, on a regular basis. To avoid worms reaching maturity and affecting your pets health, and to reduce public health risks, you should worm your pet regularly. Worming every three months will reduce this risk, but ask your vet who will be able to evaluate your pets health and your familys requirements and advise you on a specific worming routine for your pet.Drontal is ideal for the control of the following gastrointestinal tapeworms and roundworms of dogs and puppiesAscarids Toxocara canis, Toxascaris leonina adult and late immature forms.Hookworms Uncinaria stenocephala, Ancylostoma caninum adults.Whipworms Trichuris vulpis adults.Tapeworms Echinococcus species, Taenia species, Dipylidium caninum adults and immature forms.Q How often should I worm my dog with DrontalIt is advised that an adult dog should be treated for worms four times a year. There may be specific instances however where more frequent worming treatment is desirable. These would include worming of puppies and dogs and experiencing repeated flea problems.Q. What types of worm does Drontal wormers killIt is important to remember that different wormers kill different types of worm. For example, piperazine is active only against roundworms and hookworms, whereas Drontal Plus Flavour controls all intestinal worms found in dogs in the UK.Q How do I administer the wormerDrontal Plus Flavouris sold as a tablet. This may be given whole or may be concealed in food.Q At what age should I start worming my puppykittenIt is quite feasible for puppies to be born with worm larvae already present, having been exposed to them while still in the bitchs womb. It is advisable, therefore, to start a worming programme at 2 weeks of age, and to continue worming once a fortnight until 12 weeks old. It is also advisable to treat the bitch at the same time as the pups. Once a pup reaches 12 weeks of age, it should then be treated at 3 monthly intervals.Q How can I tell if my dog has wormsIn the early stages of infection, its very difficult. In dogs, mature tapeworms start shedding egg filled segments, which irritate the dogs bottom. This causes the classic symptom of tapeworm infection scooting, or dragging the bottom along the ground. Apart from this, there are few definite signs, but these may include vomiting, diarrhoea, a dull, lifeless coat, a loss of appetite, lack of energy, and, especially in puppies, a pot bellied appearance.Q Can my vet give my pet anything to prevent infectionUnfortunately, the answer is no. Drontal will kill every type of intestinal worm normally found in dogs in the UK, but there is nothing available to prevent infection in the first place.Q Why is it necessary to clear up my dogs messA single mature dog roundworm Toxocara canis can produce 80,000 eggs a day, which are excreted with the dogs faeces. If you dont clear it up, all of those eggs will remain in the environment, to infect other dogs and possibly children too.Q My pet isnt showing any symptoms why should I worm himThe point is that by the time symptoms are obvious your pet is already suffering. Whats more, it will be spreading infection in the environment. For both reasons, its much better to worm the animal routinely, at least every three months.
