Hi there! I’d like to know about deworming schedule for a 4 year old dog weighing around 20 kg. I’ve been giving him locally available Drontal Plus drug..2 tablets in a single dose (1 tab per 10kg body weight) every 4 months. Is a single doze fine or do I need to give a gap of 10 days in b/w 2 tablets?

Hi, it is fine to give the two tablets together as a single dose. The dose is accurate for a 20 kg dog, how often your repeat it will depend on how frequently he comes in contact with parasites. If there are lots of worms in the environment, he could be wormed every 3 months but I would double check with your vet. Hope this helps !

The dosage depends on her weight and this will be written on the medication label. regarding the schedule it is once a month until the age of 6 months and then once every 3 months for the rest of her life.
