Johnson’s Wormer Plus 150/144/50 mg Tablets for Dogs & Puppies

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.
Fleas serve as intermediate hosts for one common type of tapeworm - Dipylidium
caninum. Tapeworm infestation is certain to re-occur unless control of
intermediate hosts such as fleas, mice etc. is undertaken.
Echinococcus multilocularis

It can also infect humans potentially causing
severe liver disease which can be fatal. To prevent
establishing in the UK and Ireland it is a requirement that all dogs must be
treated with a product containing praziquantel before entering the country.
