Drontal™ for dogs and puppies: treats and controls gastrointestinal worms

Unlike fleas which are seen on a pet, intestinal worms are out of sight, out of mind and they may not be something you think about too much.

Your dog can easily pick up intestinal worms via eating uncooked meat, eating rodents, through the skin, or they can even be ingested accidentally while sniffing dirt in the garden.

Puppies can even pick roundworms from their mothers when they suckle.

Intestinal worms can make your dog feel quite sick and can lead to serious health issues, but often adult dogs have a low worm burden that goes completely unnoticed.

Without regular treatment, worm eggs can spread in the environment through your dog’s faeces and can remain infective for many months or years putting your dog and other pets at risk.

It is important to control intestinal worms because they pose a risk to human health. Humans can become infested with these worms through contact with pets or by ingesting eggs in the environment. This risk is often considered highest for young children, the immunocompromised and the elderly.

The good news is you can take preventative action by de-worming your dog regularly. Your dog does not need to show symptoms to be infected by worms, so don‘t wait. Worms can be life threatening.

De-worm your adult dog at least every three months to control intestinal worms and help to prevent human infections.

Drontal™: effective de-worming tablets for dogs and puppies

Drontal™ (pyrantel embonate, febantel and praziquantel) is an oral de-worming medication which kills and controls intestinal worms in puppies and dogs.

Pyrantel embonate targets roundworms and hookworms in your dog's gastrointestinal tract, causing spastic paralysis.

Febantel targets roundworms, hookworms* and whipworms⁺ both systemically and in your dog’s gastrointestinal tract, which starves the worm and disrupts structure.

Praziquantel targets tapeworms both systemically and in your dog’s gastrointestinal tract resulting in a dead tapeworm digested in your dog’s gut.

What’s more, pyrantel embonate and febantel hit nematodes simultaneously from different angles to be more effective.
