With a single dose Drontal controls every type of intestinal worm normally found in cats and dogs. Drontal Cats contains pyrantel embonate and febantel which combined have a well documented synergistic effect. Drontal Plus for Dogs and Drontal Cat tablets contain praziquantel an effective and potent weapon against tapeworm. Now in an ellipsoid presentation which means they will be easier to give to cats, giving cat owners an easier time when they come to worm their pets.

Regular routine worming is important not only for the well being of your pet but also to protect ourselves and our children a s we are in close contact with our pets. Several worm species notably the roundworm, Toxopcara canis, and the tapeworm, Echinococcus granulosus can be picked up by humans with potentially serious consequences.  It is recommended that pets are wormed 3 to 4 times a year. It is difficult to prevent a dog or cat becoming infected with worms but regular use of anthelmintics will ensure that the worms are killed before they can cause serious damage to the animal’s health.

The recommended dose rates are 57.5 mg/kg pyrantel embonate and 5 mg/kg praziquantel. This is equivalent to one Drontal Cat Tablets per 4 kg bodyweight.

< 2 kg 0.5 - Drontal Cat Tablet
> 2 kg up to 4 kg 1 - Drontal Cat Tablet
> 4 kg up to 8 kg 2 - Drontal Cat Tablets

Drontal Cat will control the following worm burdens:
Toxocara cati, toxascaris leonine, dipylidium, canium, taenia, taeniaeformis, Echinococcus, joyeuxiella pasqualei, ancylostoma braziliense & ancylostoma tubaeforme 

Drontal Cat provides outstanding worm control but like other pet wormers it has no prophylactic effect so it cannot prevent re-infection, this is why it is so important to routinely worm every 3/4 months.
