EziWormer Plus Tablets for Dogs

Fleas serve as intermediate hosts for one common type of tapeworm –
Dipylidium caninum. Tapeworm infestation is certain to reoccur unless control
of intermediate hosts such as fleas, mice, etc. is undertaken.
Tapeworm infestation is unlikely in pups less than 6 weeks of age.
Parasite resistance to any particular class of anthelmintic may develop
following frequent, repeated use of an anthelmintic of that class.
Dogs may become infected with worms by eating insects (including fleas and
lice), birds, small rodents, rabbits or raw offal from affected sheep, goats and
cattle. Dogs will continue to be re-infected unless the route of infection is
controlled e.g. treating a flea infestation or preventing a dog from scavenging or
hunting.
