Drontal Plus Tasty Dog Deworming Tablet

Drontal Plus Tasty Dog Deworming Tablets 

Drontal Plus Tasty Dog Deworming Tablet is a broad-spectrum deworming tablet that eliminates all four major types of intestinal worms in dogs — tapeworms, roundworms, hookworms, and whipworms — in a single oral dose. Manufactured to the highest veterinary standards and marketed by Elanco (formerly Bayer Animal Health), Drontal Plus is one of the most trusted deworming treatments recommended by veterinarians across India.

Three active ingredients, four worm types covered:

1. Praziquantel — damages the outer membrane of tapeworms, causing them to dissolve and be absorbed by the body naturally
2. Pyrantel pamoate — paralyses roundworms and hookworms, which are then expelled through normal bowel movement
3. Febantel — converted to fenbendazole in the body; blocks the whipworm's energy production, effectively starving and killing it

• Composition: PRAZIQUANTEL + PYRANTEL PALMOATE + FEBANTEL

• Class: Dewormer

FAQs

What worms does Drontal Plus treat in dogs?

 Drontal Plus Tasty Tablet is a broad-spectrum dewormer that treats all four major types of intestinal worms in dogs: tapeworms (including Dipylidium caninum and Taenia species), roundworms (Toxocara canis), hookworms (Ancylostoma caninum), and whipworms (Trichuris vulpis). Each tablet contains three active ingredients — praziquantel (for tapeworms), pyrantel pamoate (for roundworms and hookworms), and febantel (for whipworms) — making it the most comprehensive single-dose dewormer available.

How many Drontal Plus tablets does my dog need?

The dose is 1 tablet per 10 kg of body weight, given as a single oral dose. For example: a 10 kg Beagle needs 1 tablet; a 20 kg Labrador needs 2 tablets; a 30 kg Golden Retriever needs 3 tablets. One strip (pack of 6 tablets) provides enough tablets for one complete dose for most dogs up to 30 kg, or multiple doses for small dogs. Always weigh your dog before calculating the dose.

How often should I deworm my dog with Drontal Plus?

For adult dogs, veterinarians typically recommend deworming every 3 months (4 times per year). For puppies under 6 months of age, monthly deworming is recommended. Dogs in high-risk environments — those with frequent outdoor exposure, access to raw meat, or contact with other animals — may benefit from more frequent treatment. Consult your vet for a personalised deworming schedule.

Can Drontal Plus be given to puppies?

Yes. Drontal Plus is safe for use in puppies from 2 weeks of age, as long as the dose is calculated accurately based on their current weight (1 tablet per 10 kg). For very young or small puppies, the tablet can be crushed and mixed with a small amount of food to ensure the full dose is consumed. Puppies under 6 months should be dewormed monthly.

Should I give Drontal Plus with food or on an empty stomach?

Drontal Plus can be given with or without food — fasting is neither required nor recommended. The tablet is liver-flavoured, so most dogs accept it willingly as a treat or alongside their regular meal. If your dog is prone to mild stomach upset, giving it with food can reduce the risk of nausea.
