Safety Data Sheet

HYDATID TAPEWORM
A single dose of DRONTAL Chewable is all
that is required. However, this dose should
be repeated every 6 weeks to ensure that
newly acquired hydatid tapeworms are
expelled before reaching maturity.
DOGS SHOULD NOT BE FED, OR ALLOWED
TO FEED ON, OFFAL FROM ANY SPECIES.
DOGS IN HYDATID AREAS SHOULD BE TREATED
EVERY 6 WEEKS.
It is important to ensure that the dog does
not acquire offal in order to break the life
cycle of the hydatid tapeworm.
It should be noted that hydatid tapeworm
poses a severe risk to human health by
transmission to humans from infected dogs.
HOOKWORMS & ROUNDWORMS
J
Dogs & Puppies: TREAT AT 2,
4, 8 AND 12 WEEKS and then every
month until six months of age;
THEREAFTER EVERY 3 MONTHS or on
veterinary advice.
J
Pregnant Bitches: TREAT AT MATING,
THEN 10 DAYS BEFORE WHELPING,
at 2 and 4 weeks after whelping,
THEN EVERY 3 MONTHS.
WHIPWORMS
TREAT EVERY 6 TO 8 WEEKS AFTER 3 MONTHS
OF AGE.
TAPEWORMS
TREAT EVERY 3 MONTHS except in hydatid
tapeworm areas where every 6 weeks is
recommended, or on veterinary advice.
_Dipylidium caninum _tapeworms are
transmitted by fleas. Control of this
tapeworm will require effective control
of the local flea population. Worms,
if present, may not appear in the droppings
at all, or may not appear for up to 48hrs
after treatment.
GIARDIA
This protozoan parasite is found commonly
in dogs and may be the cause of diarrhoea,
particularly in pups. It is more common
amongst dogs living in multi-dog
households and kennels. _Giardia_ also
occurs in humans and has historically been
considered a potential zoonosis, however
recent studies suggest that host- specific
species may exist. Control of _Giardia_ is
difficult because the oocysts are resistant
and long-lived in the environment.
Diagnosis of suspected _Giardia_ infection
should be confirmed by a veterinary
surgeon. Some evidence indicates that
RETREATMENT RECOMMENDATIONS
Worms often reinfest dogs so it is
necessary to:
J
treat the dog itself,
J
reduce environmental contamination
by daily disposal of droppings
