A drontal tablet will cover interna worms including tapeworms. The frequency of dewormer dogs depends on symptoms and their environment. Most monthly heartworm prevention cover intestinal parasites except tapeworms. Tapeworms are spread through ingestion if a flea, so they can be reinfected and need to be dewormer often if there is no flea control
