DOSAGE AND ADMINSITRATION:
Administer one full teaspoon (5 mL) for each 10 pounds of body weight
(2.27 mg base per lb. of body
weight). Although most dogs have been observed to find this
formulation very palatable and willingly
consume it undiluted, it may be necessary to mix a small quantity of
formulation in the dog's normal
ration to encourage consumption. Fasting prior to and after treatment
is not necessary.
For maximum control and prevention of reinfestation, it is recommended
that puppies be treated at 2, 3,
4, 6, 8 and 10 weeks of age. Lactating bitches should be treated 2-3
weeks after whelping. Adult dogs
kept in heavily contaminated quarters may be treated at monthly
intervals to prevent _T. canis_ reinfestation.
