Drontal Puppy

Intestinal worms, whether Roundworms or Tapeworms, can pose a potentially serious health threat to your dogs if left untreated, so regular worming (every 3 months) is a necessity. In order to survive and multiply within the internal environment of your dog, worms will feed on the blood and content of the gut, with some laying dormant for up to a year within the muscle tissue, depositing an unprecedented number of eggs every day. This can lead to unpleasant symptoms of sickness, loss of appetite, diarrhoea and excessive bottom cleaning, however, sometimes worms are not accompanied by any diagnostic symptoms. Not only are worms a troublesome affliction for your dog, but they can be potentially hazardous for you if transferred through touching and licking, or picked up on your shoes and brought into the home. Drontal is an effective, economical worming treatment for dogs and cats, acting to safeguard your pet against the intrusion of harmful worms in the body, comprising an active ingredient that interferes with the energy metabolism of worms, causing them to die and pass out of the body. Drontal de-wormers are available in palatable flavours to encourage willing consumption and in a suitable form for puppies.

Please note, Drontal Puppy Suspension is only suitable for dogs up to one year old.

Even though the symptoms of worm infestation are not readily visible, most vets will advise you to de-worm your pet at least every 3 months. This will prevent a heavy worm burden building up, which could cause significant health problems for your dog or cat. Equally importantly, a regular Drontal dose will eradicate the one or two round worms (Toxocara species) often present in our pets but causing no apparent symptoms at all. These sub-clinical infections are important because these worms will be laying eggs which are passed out in the faeces and can remain dormant on the ground for long periods (or even on your pet's coat). If these microscopic eggs are accidentally ingested by children then they may start to develop inside the child's body. This development can result in microscopic worm larvae migrating into the brain, eye or other organs of the child with sometimes very serious consequences (visceral larva migrans). Regular worming with Drontal is therefore an important part of responsible pet ownership with regard to human health, besides being beneficial for your dog.Drontal dog wormer kills every type of intestinal worm that infects dogs in the UK.
