Therapeutic indications:

For the removal of large roundworms (Toxocara canis and Toxascaris leonina) and hookworms (Ancylostoma caninum and Uncinaria stenocephala) in dogs and puppies. The presence of these parasites should be confirmed by laboratory fecal exam. Consult your veterinarian for assistance in the diagnosis, treatment and control of parasitism. RFD Liquid Wormer may also be used to prevent reinfestation of T. canis in puppies and adult dogs and in lactating bitches after whelping. Dogs usually find this dewormer very palatable and will lick the dose from the bowl willingly. If there is reluctance to accept the dose, mix in a small quantity of dog food to encourage consumption. It is recommended that dogs maintained under conditions of constant exposure to worm infestation should have a follow-up fecal exam within 2–4 weeks after first treatment. If your dog looks or acts sick, consult your veterinarian before treatment. For maximum control and prevention of reinfestation, it is recommended that puppies be treated
