Product Description

Bayer Drontal Puppy Deworming Suspension - The Trusted Liquid Dewormer for Puppies From 2 Weeks Old

The first few weeks and months of a puppy's life are some of the most important - for growth, immunity, and laying the foundation for lifelong health. They're also the period when puppies are most vulnerable to intestinal worms. Many puppies are born with roundworms already in their system, passed from their mother through the placenta or through her milk, before they've even had their first meal. Others pick up parasites rapidly from their environment as they begin to explore. And because their immune systems are still developing, worm infestations in young puppies can cause far more damage than in adult dogs - stunted growth, poor coat development, anaemia, and in severe cases, life-threatening complications.

The Bayer Drontal Puppy Deworming Suspension is a vet-recommended, broad-spectrum liquid dewormer specifically formulated for puppies - designed to be safe and effective from just 2 weeks of age. It's not a tablet your tiny puppy has to swallow. It's a measured oral suspension that's easy to administer with the included calibrated dropper, directly into the mouth or mixed into a small amount of food. Developed by Bayer Animal Health (now Elanco India), a globally recognised name in veterinary pharmaceuticals, this is one of the most trusted first dewormers recommended by Indian vets for the earliest stages of a puppy's life.

Each ml of suspension contains: Pyrantel Embonate (14.4 mg) and Febantel (15.0 mg).

FAQs

From what age can I use the Drontal Puppy Suspension?

The Bayer Drontal Puppy Suspension can be used from 2 weeks of age. The safety of the product has not been assessed in puppies younger than 2 weeks, so do not use it before this age. The recommended schedule begins at 2 weeks, with repeat doses at 4, 6, and 8 weeks, then monthly until 6 months old - at which point your vet will transition your puppy to an adult tablet-based dewormer.

How do I give the suspension to my puppy?

Use the calibrated dropper included with the suspension. Measure 1 ml per kg of your puppy's body weight. You can administer it directly into the side of the puppy's mouth using the dropper, or mix it into a small portion of food. If mixing with food, make sure your puppy finishes the entire portion so the full dose is consumed. Never estimate the dose - use the dropper for accuracy.

Does the Drontal Puppy Suspension cover tapeworms?

No - the puppy suspension contains Pyrantel Embonate and Febantel, which cover roundworms, hookworms, and whipworms. It does not contain praziquantel and therefore does not treat tapeworms. Tapeworm infestations are less common in very young puppies, which is why the puppy suspension formula doesn't include it. If your vet confirms a tapeworm infestation in your puppy, they will advise on an appropriate additional treatment.

Can I use the Drontal Puppy Suspension on my nursing female dog?

No - the product is contraindicated in lactating females. Do not use it on a nursing mother without your vet's explicit guidance. If you need to deworm the nursing mother, your vet will recommend a product that is appropriate for use during lactation. Deworming the mother is important as she can continue to pass roundworm larvae to her puppies through milk if untreated.

Will I see worms in my puppy's stool after deworming?

Possibly, yes - and this is perfectly normal. The treatment kills and expels intestinal worms through the digestive system, so you may see worms in the stool in the 24-48 hours after dosing. In puppies with a heavy infestation, this can be quite noticeable. It means the treatment is working. Note that small numbers of worm eggs can be passed in the stool for up to 7 days after treatment - handle the stool with gloves and dispose of it carefully during this period.

Can I use this suspension alongside other medications my puppy is on?

Do not use Drontal Puppy Suspension simultaneously with any product containing piperazine - an older antiparasitic ingredient found in some dewormers. For any other medications your puppy is currently receiving, inform your vet before administering the suspension, as they can advise on timing and any interactions to be aware of.

When should I switch my puppy from the suspension to a tablet-based dewormer?

The suspension is designed for young puppies - typically up to 6 months of age. After 6 months, your vet will transition your puppy to an appropriate adult dewormer tablet given once every 3 months. The exact timing of the switch depends on your puppy's weight, breed, and overall health. Follow your vet's recommendation rather than switching independently.

Does my puppy need to fast before taking the suspension?

No - fasting is neither necessary nor recommended before or after giving the Drontal Puppy Suspension. You can give it with or without food. In fact, mixing it into a small amount of food can make administration easier for reluctant puppies, and giving it after a small meal can reduce the chance of any mild digestive upset.
