Your quick reference guide to Drontal® How often should pets be treated for worms? It’s difficult to prevent worm infection, so it is a good idea for your customers to treat their cats and dogs regularly for worms. Why pets need Drontal® – regularly Parasitic worms infect most cats and dogs at some time in their lives. They can damage your customers’ pets’ health – and worse still, their families'. Some worms can infect people, and their larval stages can cause a number of health problems, with children being most at risk. That’s why every responsible pet owner should make regular worming part of their petcare routine. A few ways to reduce pets’ chances of getting worm infections: Rigorous kennel hygiene Worming at least every 3 months will help keep your customers’ pets healthy and, importantly, reduce the number of worm eggs shed into the environment. Worming of all newly acquired pups and kittens Hunting cats are especially susceptible to tapeworm infections because of the animals they catch, such as mice which act as intermediate hosts for several tapeworm species. Monthly worming can be recommended for hunting cats. Why Drontal®? Drontal® is the only wormer that kills every type of intestinal worm commonly found in UK dogs and cats. The inside story There are many different types of worm that can infect cats and dogs: roundworms, tapeworms, hookworms and whipworms,† ranging in size from just 5 mm to a frightening 5 metres. • Drontal® for routine worming; a simple, single dose* – no repeat dose to remember! • Drontal® kills the hookworm which has been found in up to 68% of UK foxes and 92% of foxes in Ireland. • Drontal® can be given with or without food. Safe disposal of dog or cat faeces How do pets get worms? Contaminated soil Worm eggs are passed in the faeces of infected animals, and some can survive in the soil for up to 3 years. Foxes are a particular worry as they can spread worms if dogs come into contact with their droppings. From fleas Roundworm Hookworm • The Drontal® range has a wormer for every cat or dog, from a 6-week-old kitten to an 11-stone St. Bernard! • Drontal contains praziquantel, the only tapeworm treatment ingredient allowed for the Pet Travel Scheme (PETS) certification. Correct feeding (i.e. avoid unsterilised pet food) and preventing scavenging on carcasses Routine monthly flea control, including the animal’s environment Fleas can be infected with tapeworm larvae and pets can easily swallow fleas while grooming themselves. By hunting Cats and dogs can be infected with a tapeworm as a result of eating small mammals, such as mice. ® Tapeworm Whipworm Recommend pets are wormed with Drontal® at least every 3 months * In the event of heavy roundworm infection a repeat dose should be given after 14 days. † Dogs only 6330 DRONTAL_VETS QUICK GUIDE A4 AW.indd 1 13/02/2014 10:12 To order additional Drontal® POS materials please call: 0845 2574798 The Drontal® range: a wormer for every situation For technical enquiries please call: 0845 1305995 At a glance dosage chart for dogs (with improved dosage options for Drontal® Plus XL!)
