Treatment should be repeated when natural reinfection with parasitic worms occurs. Routine treatment of adult animals with minimal exposure to infection is advisable 2 to 4 times per year. More frequent treatment at 6 to 8 weekly intervals is advisable for dogs in kennels and cats in catteries or on breeder’s premises.
Puppies and kittens under six months of age:
Orally administer 1 syringe graduation per 1kg bodyweight daily for 3 consecutive days. Each 5 g syringe is sufficient to dose up to 6kg bodyweight for 3 consecutive days. Practical dosage recommendations:

Puppies should be treated at 2 weeks of age, 5 weeks of age and again before leaving the breeder’s premises. Treatment may also be required at 8 and 12 weeks of age. Thereafter, frequency of treatment can be reduced unless the pups remain in kennels and cats in catteries or on breeder’s premises where re-infection occurs more readily.
