Drontal Dog Tasty Bone Tablet (126944)

Drontal Dog Tasty Bone tablets are a light brown, meat flavoured, bone shaped tablet scored on both sides that can be divided into two halves.

Indications

Treatment of mixed infections by nematodes and cestodes of the following species:

Roudnworms:

Ascarids (adults and late immature forms): Toxocara canis, Toxascaris leonina

Hookworms (adults): Uncinaria stenocephala, Ancylostoma caninum

Whipworms (adults): Trichuris vulpis

Tapeworms (adult and immature forms): Echinococcus granulosus, Echinococcus multiocularis, Dipylidium caninum, Taenia spp.

Administration

The tablets are flavoured and studies have shown that they are palatable and are taken voluntarily by the majority of (approximately, 9 of every 10) dogs tested.

Tablets should be given as a single administration.

A dosing program should be established in consultation with a veterinarian. As a general rule, a standard scheme for adult dogs (above 6 months of age) is deworming every three months. If a dog owner chooses not to use regular anthelmintic therapy, then fecal examination every three months may be a feasible alternative. In some specific situations such as nursing bitches, young age (less than 6 months), or kennel environments, more frequent treatment may be useful and the advice of a veterinarian should be sought to establish an appropriate worming protocol.
