About this deal

Kills all types of intestinal worms commonly found in UK dogs – including roundworms, whipworms, hookworms and tapeworms One tablet per 5-10kg body weight (for dogs over 20kg please use Drontal XL). No starvation is needed before or after treatment, and the tablets can be given directly to your dog or disguised in their food.

Drontal ® Plus Taste Tabs ® Tablets contain three active ingredients having different modes of action and spectra of activity. Praziquantel is active against cestodes (tapeworms). Praziquantel is absorbed, metabolized in the liver and excreted in the bile. Upon entering the digestive tract from the bile, cestocidal activity is exhibited. 1 Following exposure to praziquantel, the tapeworm loses its ability to resist digestion by the mammalian host. Because of this, whole tapeworms, including the scolices, are very rarely passed after administration of praziquantel. In many instances only disintegrated and partially digested pieces of tapeworms will be seen in the stool. The majority of tapeworms are digested and are not found in the feces. Do not use in pregnant dogs during the 1st and 2nd third of pregnancy. A single treatment during the last third of pregnancy or during lactation has been demonstrated safe. Drontal Tasty Bone Wormer Tablets are a vet strength wormer developed to kill every type of intestinal worm commonly found in UK dogs and puppies weighing between 2 and 20kg. Yes, dog roundworms ( Toxocara canis), hookworms and tapeworms can all cause disease in people and it is one of the reasons why regularly worming our pets is so important.Drontal Tasty Bone Worming Tablets are effective against roundworms (including ascarids, hookworm & whipworm), as well as tapeworms. Andrews P. 1976. Pharmacokinetic Studies with DRONCIT ® in Animals Using a Biological Assay. Veterinary Medical Review. 2:154-165. Soulsby EJL. 1982. Helminths, Arthropods and Protozoa of Domesticated Animals. 7th Edition. Lea & Febiger. 118-138. Results obtained in the laboratory and clinical studies indicate small numbers of hookworm or roundworm eggs may be passed in the feces for up to 7 days after treatment although the worms themselves were eliminated. A follow-up fecal examination should be conducted 2 to 4 weeks after treatment to determine the need for retreatment. We can also become infected with an intermediate stage of some species of tapeworm if we swallow tapeworm eggs. It’s even possible (though uncommon) for people to develop a tapeworm infection if they swallow an infected flea.

Worms can be a serious threat to your dog's health & wellbeing, so routine worming every 3 months is essential.Most dogs need worming 4 times per year, but some will require monthly worming, whilst others may need treatment less often. Please consult your vet to assess the risk level of your pet and to plan a suitable worming regime. For dogs between 2 and 20kg use Drontal Tasty Bone Wormer Tablets for Small and Medium Dogs (2 to 20kg): Domestic dogs living in E. multilocularis endemic areas that roam freely with the opportunity to catch wild rodents are at risk of infection. Pet owners should be advised on how to minimize this risk. Proper restraint of dogs should be encouraged, along with regular treatment with Drontal ® Plus Taste Tabs ® Tablets, following the dosing schedule aforementioned and precautions indicated below.

Made with a clever bone design and delicious beef flavouring to make them much more appealing to your dog than regular tablets, Drontal is highly effective against roundworms, whipworms, hookworms, and tapeworms.

Studies on Sylvatic Echinococcosis, Ill. Host Occurrence and Geographic Distribution of Echinococcus multilocularis in the North Central United States. J. Parasit. 56(6): 1141-1150. For dogs over 20kg it may be more convenient to use Drontal Dog Tasty Bone XL Wormer tablets for Large Dogs (Over 20kg): Pregnancy & Lactation- Safe to use during lactation, nursing bitches should be treated 2 weeks after giving birth, at two week intervals until weaning (to protect against Toxocara). Do not use during the first or second, third of pregnancy (safe to use during the last third of pregnancy).

TREATMENT:

Drontal Tasty Bone Wormer Tablets for Small and Medium Dogs (2 to 20kg): Each tablet contains 150 mg febantel, 50 mg pyrantel (equivalent to 144 mg pyrantel embonate) and 50 mg praziquantel.

The adult tapeworm is small (1-4mm) and resides in the intestinal tract of the definitive host (wild or domestic canids). Eggs from the adult tapeworm are shed in the feces. Rodents such as mice and voles serve as the intermediate host. Eggs ingested by rodents develop in the liver, lungs and other organs to form multilocular cysts. The life cycle is completed after a canid consumes a rodent infected with cysts. Larvae within the cyst develop into adult tapeworms in the intestinal tract of the canid. Eggs may be passed in the feces of the canid approximately 28 days later. Hildreth MB Johnson MD and Kazacos KR. 1991. A Zoonosis of Increasing Concern in the United States. Compendium for Cont. Ed. 13(5): 727-740. People who are particularly at risk include pregnant women, babies, toddlers and immunocompromised individuals such as the elderly, diabetics and people with HIV-infection.†
