You can use the Drontal Plus to deworm him now. It is an excellent deworming tablet and you only have to give him one tablet now. You should given him another deworming tablet in a month, and then he should be dewormed every three months thereafter.

    Hi there. Yes, you should be able to deworm your puppies at home if you want to. Drontal Plus is approved for use in puppies at least 3 weeks of age and weighing at least 2 pounds - so if your pups are 9 weeks old and weigh 1.2 kg (approximately 2.6 pounds), it should be fine to use. Follow the dosing instructions on the medication label. A 2.6 pound puppy should get 1/2 of a tablet, according to the label instructions.
