Fleas serve as intermediate hosts for one of the common types of tapeworm Dipylidium caninum. To avoid reinfection with this parasite, flea control of the animal and its housing should be carried out at the same time. Unless flea control is complete an infected flea population may survive and re-treatment of the animal may be necessary.

I used this to treat my rabbit for tapeworm upon veterinary advice. Broken into quarters, put in a tiny piece of banana and wrapped in a basil leaf and down it went. That same evening she passed a tapeworm so it certainly does what it's meant to. I could provide a photo as proof but it's pretty grim 🤢

Side affect

Ian

Is there any side affect on Droncit tablets

  • VioVet Staff

There are no listed side effects on the datasheet for this medication. This means side effects are likely to be very rare, however they are still possible. If you notice any abnormal signs after the medication is dispensed by us and administered then please contact us and your local vet.

Is this suitable for a puppy less than 2kilos,

KataPLVS

I am planning to buy drontal liquid for my puppy as the breeder was using that, she is at today 9 weeks and 2 days and weight 1.28 kilos. i read that drontal liquid is for roundworm and in one of the questions was suggested to use this product. Can my puppy have it? if yes how much and how often? thank you

  • VioVet Staff

You should not need to worm for tapeworm until your pup has been weaned or unless they are at risk of fleas. Your 9 week old pup does meet this criteria so it is advised to cover this too.
Droncit is only suitable for dogs weighing over 2.5kg. I recommend using a combination worming tablet that covers both roundworms and tapeworms instead of using the liquid alongside a tapewormer. Mainly as it is a lot easier. Our own brand TermaWorm can be used in dogs over 1kg and so is suitable. You should dose 1/4 of a tablet for your pet. It is advised to worm at 8, 10 and 12 weeks of age and then monthly until 6 months. At 6 months old an adult worming plan can be started.

Difference between Droncit and Drontal

Sharon

Hi what is the difference between Droncit and Drontal, does Droncit give extra protection?

  • VioVet Staff

Droncit only covers tapeworms whilst Drontal covers both roundworms and tapeworms. If you are already covering roundworms with another product (such as Advocate spot on) then Droncit is more appropriate. If you are not then it is best to use Drontal.

Hi, how much should I give a 4kg dog?

Maryam Akbarzadeh

  • VioVet customer since 2022
  • From: , United Kingdom

hi,
it says 5 kg = 1 tablet , what is the dog is more than 2.5 kg but less than 5kg?
or is it up to 5kg = 1 tablet?

  • VioVet Staff

Your 4kg dog will need half a tablet of Droncit according to the datasheet. It is a very safe medication, giving 5kg worth of dose to your 4kg is safe.

Debbie

  • VioVet customer since 2020
  • From: Staffordshire, United Kingdom

How much would my 6.7 kilo puppy need in one Dosage?

  • VioVet Staff

Your 6.7kg puppy would need 1 tablet as these are dosed at 1 tablet per 10kg.

FREQUENCY

Denise Catterall

How often do you give a dog the Droncit tablet. Is it twice a year?

How to administer

Can this be mixed with food

My dog has a horror of tablets - can this be mixed into food.

  • VioVet Staff

Yes, these tablets can be crushed into the food and administered this way if necessary.

Dosage

Jane

My cat weighs 5.2 kg. Should I use 0.5 or a whole tablet? Thanks

  • VioVet Staff

According to the datasheet your 5.2kg cat will need half a tablet per dose.

Dosage for my puppy

Robyn Evans

Hi my pup is 3.0kg, would I give half ?

  • VioVet Staff

Yes, this tablet is dosed at 1 table per 10kg so your 3kg dog will need 1/2 tablet. If you need advice on what wormer to use in your puppy then please contact us on [email protected].

Doseage

Jenny

Hi

I just wanted to check on the dosage. It says 1 tablet per 10kg. Does that mean I give one or two tablets to a 14.3kg dog?

Thanks

  • VioVet Staff

Hi Jenny,

The tablets have a divide line so they can be broken in half. Your 14.3kg dog will need 1.5 tablets to ensure they receive an effective dose.

Hope this is helpful.

Kind regards,
VioVet
