Medication should never be administered to a dog without first consulting a veterinarian. Be sure to read the label instructions carefully and to complete the cycle unless otherwise instructed by a veterinarian. Begin the cycle after an overnight fast, at least 8 hours. If the dog is fed once in the morning, it is all right to begin the cycle the following morning.
Dogs weighing 1 kg (approximately 2.2 pounds) to 8 kg should receive one 100 mg tablet (Lopatol 100) per 2 kg of bodyweight per day. Larger dogs should receive one 500 mg tablet (Lopatol 500) per 10 kg of bodyweight per day.
Owners should give their dog the proper dosage of Lopatol tablets in the morning, inserted into one-quarter of the dog’s daily food ration. The owner should then feed the animal the remaining portion of its ration in the evening. Make an abundant amount of drinking water available to the dog throughout the days that it is receiving the medication.
Puppies can be dewormed at 2, 4, 6, 8, and 12 weeks as a preventive measure. Breeding bitches can be treated after mating as well as shortly before and 4 week after whelping. All dogs in breeding kennels should be dewormed 4 to 6 times a year. Other adults should be dewormed one or twice a year only as prescribed by a veterinarian.
