Can I see worms in my dogs faeces after Drontal?
In most cases worms are rapidly killed in the intestines of the dogs and are broken down internally. In some instances if high burdens of worms are present, worms may be seen in faeces up to 48 hours after treatment. This is most commonly seen with roundworms.
Does Drontal treat Giardia?
Drontal is the ONLY Allwormer registered to control Giardia sp in dogs. Giardia is a protozoan
parasite found commonly in dogs and is frequently a cause of diarrhoea in puppies. Drontal should
be administered at the correct dosage for body weight for 3 consecutive days.
It is important that Giardia has been correctly diagnosed by a veterinarian.
If my dog has food allergies can I use the Drontal chewable?
It is not recommended to use Drontal chewables in the case of dogs with food allergies, because the flavoured constituent can originate from pork, beef or lamb combinations. In cases of food allergic dogs Bayer recommends the use of Drontal tablets.
