Elanco Quad Dewormer for Hookworms, Roundworms, Tapeworms & Whipworms for Large Breed Dogs, 2 count

The dosage will vary by pet weight. For dogs 45-60 pounds use 1 tablet, dogs 61-90 pounds use 1.5 tablets and for dogs 91-120 pounds use 2 tablets. For a pet weighing 145 pounds, they would need 2.5 tablets so, an extra pack would be needed. Dogs currently infected with intestinal parasites may need more than one round of deworming (this is especially important in puppies) to adequately clear out infections. Your veterinarian can help provide you with an appropriate deworming strategy that best fits your dog’s needs. Additionally, steps should be taken to control fleas (carriers of tapeworms) and rodents (carriers of tapeworms, hookworms and roundworms) on the premises to help prevent reinfection and the need for additional treatment.

This de-wormer treats your dog in one day. It does not prevent against future infestations. 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 its environment. If reinfection occurs, tapeworm segments may be observed within one month of the initial treatment.

This product can be given up to 3 days later if re-infestation occurs.

You can offer the entire dosage directly in your dog’s mouth or in a small amount of food. Fasting is not necessary or recommended.
