Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal results, determine your dog's weight accurately before dosing. Dosage for the XL variant is as follows: 20-35kg (1 tablet), >35-52.5kg (1.5 tablets), and >52.5-70kg (2 tablets). Always store tablets in a cool, dry place out of reach of children and pets. If you have a smaller dog under 20kg, ensure you are using the standard Drontal Tasty Bone tablets rather than this XL version to ensure safety and dosage accuracy. Maintain a record of your dog's worming schedule to ensure monthly coverage is kept up to date.
