Which dewormer is best for my puppy Panacur C or Drontal plus
Panacur C and Drontal. Plus have the same spectrum of activity. Both control Roundworms, Hookworms, Whipworms, and Tapeworms. So, one is not better than the other in that respect. Drontal is easier to administer since you only need to give one dose; with Panacur you give one dose a day for 3 days in a row.

Can I deworm my pups at home? Their first deworming is at vet's can I continue the following deworm at home? And is drontal plus safe for small puppies age 9 weeks weighing 1.2kg? Is it 1 tablet for 1 puppy? Thank you so much in advance.
Hi there. Yes, you should be able to deworm your puppies at home if you want to. Drontal Plus is approved for use in puppies at least 3 weeks of age and weighing at least 2 pounds - so if your pups are 9 weeks old and weigh 1.2 kg (approximately 2.6 pounds), it should be fine to use. Follow the dosing instructions on the medication label. A 2.6 pound puppy should get 1/2 of a tablet, according to the label instructions.

The dewormer i usually recommend is called Drontal plus, bear in mind that unlike the flea/tick products, dewormers do not protect your dog from future infestation, it only kills the worms on spot. for fleas and ticks i usually recommend Bravecto tablet or Advantix spot on. all these medications are considered to be high quality and safe.

I recently brought a new young cat into my home who had tapeworms. I brought him into a low-cost clinic offering a limited range of care, and they simply gave me one tablet of drontal to give him 3 days after that day, in which they applied flea medi
Great question! No, one pill is not enough. Due to the life cycle of the worms, Chiron will need another Drontal tablet two weeks after the first one was given. This will kill the worms who had not yet hatched from eggs when the first tablet was given. I would get another Drontal for him. Best of luck.
