Elanco Tapeworm Dewormer Tablets for Dogs Directions:
- Elanco Tapeworm Dewormer Tablets for Dogs may be given directly in the mouth or offered crumbled and mixed with a small amount of food.
- You should weigh your dog to make sure you are using the right number of tablets.
- Administer to dogs and puppies older than 4 weeks only as directed in the Dosage chart below.
- RETREATMENT:Steps should be taken to control fleas and rodents on the premises in order to prevent reinfection; otherwise, retreatment will be necessary. This is especially true in cases of tapeworms transmitted by fleas (Dipylidium caninum) where reinfection is almost certain to occur if you do not remove fleas from your pet and the immediate environment. If reinfection occurs, tapeworm segments may be observed within one month of the initial treatment.
Use Home & Yard Flea Treatments to control fleas in and around your home. This will help prevent tapeworm reinfection.
