Administer one full teaspoon (5 mL) for each 5 lbs of body weight (2.27 mg base per lb of body weight). If the dog does not willingly consume this formulation undiluted, it may be necessary to mix a small quantity of formulation in the dog’s normal ration to encourage consumption. Fasting prior to or after treatment is not necessary. It is recommended that dogs maintained under conditions of constant exposure to worm infestation should have a follow-up fecal exam within 2-4 weeks after treatment.
For maximum control and prevention of reinfestation, it is recommended that puppies be treated at 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, and 10 weeks of age. Lactating bitches should be treated 2-3 weeks after whelping. Adult dogs kept in heavily contaminated quarters may be treated at monthly intervals to prevent T. canis reinfestation.
