Is my 4-year-old 20kg dog's deworming dose and schedule correct?

Question

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? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Male | neutered | 4 years old | 44 lbs

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 !
