About Drontal for Puppy Suspension

Drontal for Puppy Suspension is a gentle yet effective liquid worming treatment designed specifically for puppies. It targets the most common intestinal worms — including roundworms (Toxocara canis), hookworms (Uncinaria stenocephala) and whipworms (Trichuris vulpis) — providing complete parasite control during early growth.

The easy-to-use oral suspension ensures young puppies receive accurate dosing without stress or tablets. Drontal Puppy Suspension is part of the trusted Drontal range from Bayer (now Elanco Animal Health), known for reliable and vet-recommended parasite protection.

When to Use Drontal Puppy Suspension

Puppies can pick up worm infections from their mother or environment even before birth. Vets and SQPs recommend treating:

• Puppies from 2 weeks of age.

• Puppies from infected mothers (Toxocara canis transmission).

• Litters or kennels with high worm exposure.

• Dogs showing symptoms such as pot-belly, dull coat, diarrhoea or poor growth.

Regular deworming is essential to protect your puppy’s health and reduce zoonotic risk to humans.

How Drontal Works

Drontal for Puppy Suspension contains two active ingredients:

• Febantel – disrupts the energy metabolism of parasitic worms, leading to their elimination.

• Pyrantel embonate – causes paralysis of worms, allowing them to be expelled naturally.

Together, these actives provide a broad-spectrum effect against both mature and immature stages of intestinal nematodes.

Dosage & Administration

• Dose at 1 ml per kg bodyweight.

• Administer orally using the included syringe.

• No fasting is necessary before or after treatment.

• Repeat at 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 weeks of age, then monthly until 6 months old, or as advised by your vet.
  Always weigh your puppy accurately to ensure correct dosage. Shake well before use.
