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
