Description

This oral treatment targets and removes tapeworms, roundworms, hookworms, and whipworms to help maintain your cat’s digestive health and overall wellness.

How It Works
Drontal Plus combines three active ingredients for comprehensive parasite control:
- Praziquantel damages the parasite’s outer layer, allowing the immune system to remove it naturally.
- Pyrantel pamoate paralyzes hookworms and roundworms, enabling their removal through normal intestinal activity.
- Febantel disrupts the energy metabolism of whipworms and other nematodes, eliminating them from the digestive tract.
Usage Precautions
- Not for kittens under 8 weeks or under 2 lbs in weight
- Consult your veterinarian before using on pregnant, nursing, or sick animals
