In a recent survey 46% of owners said they had problems worming their dogs. Of these 29% had to forcibly worm their pet and a further 44% had to hide the wormer in food to ensure treatment was successful*.
Now there is new Plerion, a flavoured, chewable, easy-to-give broad spectrum wormer.
In a recent sampling trial of 952 dogs* 80% took Plerion spontaneously. In fact most dogs take Plerion right out of the hand, making worming a treat for dogs and their owners.
*Sampling trial of 150 veterinary practices December 2009.
An integrated worming approach
Plerion will control common roundworms and tapeworms effectively. It is suitable for all puppies and dogs over 2 months of age and weighing more than 2.5kg. An alternative treatment, Panacur®, is available to treat young puppies (from 2 weeks of age) or pregnant and lactating bitches. Our recommendations are highlighted below.
Ask advice for the most appropriate product for your dog.
Routine treatment of your dog with a suitable wormer helps reduce the health risks to you and your pet. Treatment is advised at least 4 times per year, more frequent worming is recommended for higher risk animals.
