Ensure your puppy gets the healthiest possible start to life with Drontal – Puppy, a trusted and effective worming suspension specifically formulated for young dogs. From the makers of Drontal, a leading name in pet parasite control (now part of Elanco), this liquid wormer helps protect your puppy from common and harmful intestinal parasites.
Puppies are particularly susceptible to worm infections, which can be passed from their mother and picked up from their environment. Regular worming is crucial for their growth, development, and overall health, as well as helping to protect your family.
 
What it Treats:
Drontal Puppy Suspension is specifically formulated to target the key gastrointestinal worms commonly found in puppies:
Roundworms (Toxocara canis, Toxascaris leonina)
Hookworms (Ancylostoma caninum, Ancylostoma braziliense, Uncinaria stenocephala)
 
Please note that Drontal Puppy Suspension does not control tapeworms or heartworm. A comprehensive parasite control program should include products that cover these parasites as well.
 
How it Works:
Drontal Puppy Suspension contains a synergistic combination of two active ingredients:
Febantel: A pro-benzimidazole that works by inhibiting the energy metabolism of the worms, leading to their death.
Pyrantel Embonate: A tetrahydropyrimidine that causes spastic paralysis in the worms, allowing them to be expelled from the digestive system.
These ingredients work together to provide fast and effective treatment against susceptible worms.
 
Easy to Administer:
Drontal Puppy Suspension is a convenient liquid formulation, making it easier to accurately dose even wriggly puppies. It can be given directly into the mouth or mixed with a small amount of food. Each pack typically comes with a dosing syringe for precise measurement.
 
Dosage:
The standard dosage for Drontal Puppy Suspension is 1 mL per 1 kg of body weight. It is important to weigh your puppy accurately before administering the dose.
 
Typical Australian Puppy Worming Schedule:
To protect your puppy during their vulnerable early months, a regular worming schedule is recommended in Australia using a product like Drontal Puppy Suspension:
Every 2 weeks from 2 weeks of age up to 12 weeks of age.
Monthly from 3 months of age until 6 months of age.
Every 3 months after 6 months of age for ongoing protection (using an appropriate all-wormer for adult dogs).
 
In environments with a heavy whipworm burden, more frequent treatment (every 6-8 weeks after 3 months of age) may be necessary – consult your veterinarian for advice tailored to your specific situation.
 
Important Considerations:
Shake the bottle well before use.
Weigh your puppy accurately to ensure correct dosing.
Worms can reinfect puppies from their environment, so maintaining good hygiene (like prompt disposal of faeces) is important alongside worming.
Drontal Puppy Suspension is safe for puppies from 2 weeks of age.
Consult your veterinarian if you have any concerns about worms, dosing, or if worm problems persist.
 
Choose Drontal – Puppy Suspension for reliable, easy-to-give protection against the most common intestinal worms in young dogs, helping them grow into healthy, happy companions.
