Drontal Dog Tasty Bone worming tablets – easy-to-give wormer for dogs

Drontal Dog Tasty Bone worming tablets are designed to make worming your dog as simple and stress-free as possible. Intestinal worms such as roundworms and tapeworms are common in dogs. They can cause digestive upset, weight loss and a dull coat, and some worms can also pose a risk to people in the household. Regular worming helps keep your dog healthy and reduces the risk of worms being shed into your home and garden.

Drontal Dog Tasty Bone worming tablets come in a palatable, bone-shaped format that most dogs are happy to eat by hand. Because the dose is based on bodyweight, your vet or the product leaflet will guide you on how many tablets your dog needs at each treatment.

What Drontal Dog Tasty Bone worming tablets are used for

Drontal Dog Tasty Bone worming tablets are used to:

• Treat and control common roundworms and tapeworms in dogs

• Support a regular worming programme for adult dogs, growing dogs and, where appropriate, puppies above the minimum age and weight stated on the packaging

• Help reduce the risk of worm eggs and segments being passed into the environment

Your vet can advise on the best worming interval for your dog. Many pets are wormed around every three months as a routine, although dogs that hunt, scavenge or live with young children may need more frequent treatment.

Pack sizes for different households

This product is available in one pack sizes:

• Drontal Dog Tasty Bone 4×6 = 24 – handy for single-dog households or short-term supply

Choosing a larger pack can be more convenient and can help ensure you always have worming tablets ready for your dog’s next scheduled treatment.

How Drontal Dog Tasty Bone worming tablets are given

Drontal Dog Tasty Bone worming tablets are given by mouth. Because they are flavoured and bone-shaped, many dogs will take them from your hand like a treat. You can also offer them in a small amount of food if needed.

General guidance (always follow the instructions on the packaging and any advice from your vet):

• Weigh your dog so you know their correct bodyweight before dosing

• Check the dosing table on the box or leaflet to see how many tablets your dog needs

• Give the full dose in one go on the day of treatment

• You do not normally need to starve your dog before or after giving the tablets

• Repeat treatment at the interval recommended by your vet for your dog’s lifestyle

If your dog spits out a tablet or you are unsure whether they have swallowed the full dose, speak to your vet or practice team for advice.

Which dogs Drontal Dog Tasty Bone worming tablets are suitable for

Drontal Dog Tasty Bone worming tablets are suitable for most healthy adult dogs and growing dogs above the minimum age and weight specified on the product packaging. Your vet can advise on use in puppies, breeding animals or dogs with underlying health problems.

Always talk to your vet before worming if your dog:

• Is very young, elderly or underweight

• Is pregnant or lactating

• Has a known medical condition or is on other medication

• Has had a reaction to wormers in the past

Your vet may recommend a specific worming plan tailored to your dog’s needs, especially if they travel, hunt or are at higher risk of certain parasites.

Using Drontal Dog Tasty Bone worming tablets as part of a parasite control plan

Worming is just one part of keeping your dog parasite-free. For best results, Drontal Dog Tasty Bone worming tablets should be used as part of an overall plan that may include:

• Regular flea control, as fleas can carry some tapeworms

• Prompt disposal of dog faeces to reduce environmental contamination

• Good hygiene practices, especially around children and vulnerable people

• Routine health checks with your vet to pick up any problems early

Your vet can help you design a combined flea and worming programme that fits your dog and your household.

Possible side effects

Most dogs tolerate Drontal Dog Tasty Bone worming tablets very well. As with any medicine, a small number of dogs may experience mild and short-lived effects such as:

• Temporary digestive upset (soft stools, occasional vomiting)

• Brief changes in appetite or behaviour on the day of dosing

If your dog seems unwell after worming, or if signs are severe or persistent, contact your vet for advice. Very rare allergic reactions are possible with any medication. Seek urgent veterinary help if you notice sudden swelling of the face, breathing difficulties, collapse or other serious signs.

Handling and safety advice for owners

To keep everyone safe in the household:

• Store Drontal Dog Tasty Bone worming tablets in the original packaging, out of sight and reach of children and other animals

• Only handle tablets when you are ready to dose your dog

• Wash your hands after giving the tablets or handling your dog’s mouth immediately afterwards

• If a person accidentally swallows a tablet, they should seek medical advice and show the product packaging

If you have any questions about how often to worm your dog, which pack size to choose, or how to give Drontal Dog Tasty Bone worming tablets, your veterinary practice will be happy to advise.
