Is Drontal Plus for dogs safe for cats? What treats cat whipworms?

It is not listed to kill whipworm in cats, only tapeworms, hookworms, and roundworms. Your veterinarian can dispense Panacur (fenbendazole) to treat whipworm infection if indicated. Drontal plus will kill the above mentioned parasites as well as whipworm.

Drontal is a wormer for round worms and hookworms as well as tape worms. Drontal Plus also covers these worms. The Tasty Drontal is a flavored tablet. The other two are tablets for various sizes in dogs. Nasically, they are all the same , just presented in different forms.

The Advantage Multi and Drontal contain different ingredients that do not negatively interact in the body, so they are safe to give together. Drontal usually comes in a size-specific bottle for cats and will have the recommended dosage labeled on the side. I recommend only using the Drontal as stated by the manufacturer.

A vet can easily test for the type of parasites present and will be able to give you the best treatment options and prevention advice for the future. They can also make sure that you are not giving medication unnecessarily, or in a potentially dangerous way. I hope that helps and all is well with Jet.

Hello and thank you for using pet coach. Tapeworms are typically treated with a drug known as praziquantel. The drug that we use at our Clinic to treat tapeworm is called drontal Plus. Only a single dose with drontal Plus is typically required. A follow-up dose 1-3 weeks after the initial treatment may be given if needed. I hope this helps! Please do not hesitate to contact me with any other questions or concerns that you may have. I am also available via consultation if needed

Drontal is a very safe deworming tablet, so I would give Tofy one table. Doses of up to 10 times the recommended dose will usually only cause some nausea, so giving her a little bit extra will not likely result in any harm. I hope this helps!

Drontal Plus is extremely effective for treating tapeworms. However, I am concerned that if he vomited soon after giving the medication, there is a chance it did not absorb. I recommend that you call your veterinarian for a second dose - it will be safe to re-dose - just to be on the safe side! Next time give it at meal time so there is a lot of food in his stomach as this makes it less likely he will vomit the pill.

The reason for the second deworming 3 weeks later is to kill any tapeworms that were still immature at the last deworming and were not yet sensitive to the dewormer or if she has gotten infected again since the last deworming. Drontal is a very safe medication with very few side effects since it only affects the parasites in the GI tract. I am attaching a link to a handout on Drontal below including a discussion of side effects. https://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content.plx?P=A&S=0&C=0&A=531 I hope that was helpful and answered your questions.
