How long does Drontal last?

Drontal dog tasty bone tablets are designed to kill any susceptible worms present in the dog at the time of administration – it doesn’t have a lasting protective effect in the same way as other medications might (such as vaccines). The time when a pet should receive their next worming dose will depend upon the types of worms they are at risk from and their lifestyle, which should be discussed with their vet.

Giving a treatment every three months can be difficult to remember; Protect My Pet’s hassle-free subscription service means you will always dose at the correct time.
