Prazipet Plus Dewormer for Dog & Cat

Prazipet Plus Dewormer for Dogs and Cats 

Prazipet Plus Dewormer for Dogs and Cats is a broad-spectrum anthelmintic treatment designed to effectively eliminate gastrointestinal parasites in both dogs and cats. This product targets tapeworms and nematodes, which can cause significant health issues if left untreated. Each package contains 10 tablets, providing a convenient and comprehensive solution for pet owners to keep their pets healthy and free from harmful worms. Formulated with a powerful combination of active ingredients, Prazipet Plus ensures thorough deworming, offering a reliable option for both treatment and prevention of parasitic infections.

Key Features and Benefits

1. Broad-Spectrum Parasite Protection

Prazipet Plus is formulated to provide comprehensive protection against two major types of gastrointestinal worms that commonly affect dogs and cats, ensuring their overall health and well-being. The product targets the following parasites:

• Tapeworms: These flat, segmented worms can grow several inches long inside your pet’s intestines. They often break into smaller segments, which may appear as rice-like grains in your pet’s feces or around their anal area. Tapeworms are typically transmitted through fleas or by ingesting infected animals, such as rodents. Symptoms include mild digestive upset, scooting behavior due to anal irritation, and visible segments in the stool.

• Nematodes (Roundworms, Hookworms, Whipworms): This category includes several types of worms:

  • Roundworms: Resembling strands of spaghetti, roundworms are among the most common intestinal parasites in dogs and cats. They can grow several inches long and may be visible in your pet’s feces or vomit. Infected pets might show a pot-bellied appearance, lethargy, poor coat condition, or stunted growth, particularly in puppies and kittens. Roundworms also pose a zoonotic risk, meaning they can potentially transfer to humans.

  • Hookworms: These small parasites, measuring about one-eighth to three-quarters of an inch in length, attach to the intestinal lining using hook-like structures and feed on the host’s blood. This can lead to symptoms such as diarrhea, vomiting, and anemia, especially in young or vulnerable pets.

  • Whipworms: Approximately two inches long with a whip-like shape—thicker at one end and thinner at the other—whipworms reside in the large intestine, causing chronic diarrhea, vomiting, weight loss, and general weakness.

By targeting both tapeworms and nematodes, Prazipet Plus provides a thorough solution, addressing a wide range of parasitic threats that can impact your pet’s health.

2. Powerful Active Ingredients

The effectiveness of Prazipet Plus lies in its carefully formulated blend of three active ingredients, each targeting specific types of worms for a comprehensive deworming effect:

• Praziquantel (50 mg per tablet): This ingredient is highly effective against tapeworms (cestodes). Praziquantel works by disrupting the tapeworm’s outer membrane, causing it to disintegrate and be expelled from the pet’s body through natural digestion. It targets tapeworms at all stages of their life cycle, ensuring both adult worms and their segments are eradicated.

• Pyrantel Pamoate (144 mg per tablet): This active ingredient focuses on roundworms and hookworms (nematodes). Pyrantel Pamoate paralyzes the worms’ nervous systems, preventing them from clinging to the intestinal walls. Once paralyzed, the worms are expelled through the pet’s feces. It is safe and effective for both dogs and cats, making it a key component of Prazipet Plus’s formula.

• Fenbendazole (500 mg per tablet): Fenbendazole is effective against a broad range of nematodes, including roundworms, hookworms, and whipworms. It works by disrupting the worms’ energy metabolism, leading to their death. Fenbendazole is particularly useful for treating stubborn infections like whipworms, ensuring a comprehensive deworming effect.

The combined action of these three ingredients ensures that Prazipet Plus delivers a reliable and thorough deworming treatment, addressing tapeworms and nematodes in a single dose.

3. Convenient and Easy-to-Use Tablets

• Pack Size: Each box contains 10 tablets, providing enough for multiple treatments or for use in multi-pet households, depending on your pet’s weight and your veterinarian’s advice.

• Dosage: The recommended dosage is one tablet per 10 kg of body weight. For example, a 10 kg pet requires one tablet, a 20 kg pet requires two tablets, and a 5 kg pet requires half a tablet. Always consult your veterinarian to confirm the appropriate dosage for your pet, ensuring safe and effective treatment.

• Administration: The tablets can be given directly by placing the tablet in your pet’s mouth and ensuring they swallow it, or they can be crushed and mixed with a small amount of food to simplify the process, especially for pets that resist taking medication. While the tablets are not specifically flavored, wrapping them in a treat like cheese or meat can make administration easier.

4. Health and Well-Being Benefits

• Symptom Relief: By eliminating tapeworms and nematodes, Prazipet Plus helps relieve symptoms such as diarrhea, vomiting, weight loss, lethargy, and poor coat condition, which are commonly associated with worm infections. This leads to a noticeable improvement in your pet’s energy levels, appetite, and overall demeanor.

• Prevents Complications: Untreated worm infections can lead to serious health issues, including anemia, malnutrition, and intestinal blockages, particularly in young or immunocompromised pets. Regular use of Prazipet Plus helps prevent these complications, ensuring your pet remains healthy and active.

• Zoonotic Protection: Some worms, like roundworms, can be transmitted to humans, posing a health risk, especially to children or individuals with weakened immune systems. Treating your pet with Prazipet Plus reduces the risk of zoonotic transmission, protecting your family as well as your pet.

Usage Instructions

• Dosage: Administer one tablet per 10 kg of body weight as a single dose. For example, a 10 kg pet requires one tablet, a 20 kg pet requires two tablets, and a 5 kg pet requires half a tablet. Repetition is advised in case of severe infection, as recommended by your veterinarian.

• Administration Tips: For best results, administer the tablet on an empty stomach to ensure maximum absorption of the active ingredients. If your pet resists taking the tablet directly, you can wrap it in a treat or mix it into a small portion of wet food. Ensure your pet consumes the entire dose for effective treatment.

• Treatment Frequency: Depending on your pet’s lifestyle and risk of exposure to worms (e.g., outdoor pets or those in multi-pet households), your veterinarian may recommend deworming every three to six months as a preventative measure. Puppies and kittens, which are more susceptible to worms, may require more frequent treatments during their first year.

• Monitoring: After administering Prazipet Plus, monitor your pet for any signs of adverse reactions, such as vomiting, diarrhea, or lethargy, and contact your veterinarian if you notice anything unusual. You may also notice dead worms in your pet’s feces within a few days of treatment, which is a normal sign that the medication is working.

Ideal For

• Dogs and cats of all ages, from puppies and kittens to adult and senior pets, provided the dosage is adjusted according to their weight and health status.

• Pets at risk of worms, such as those that spend time outdoors, hunt, or live in multi-pet environments where the risk of worm transmission is higher.

• Pet owners seeking preventative care to maintain their pet’s health through regular deworming, preventing infestations before they become a problem.

Precautions and Safety Information

• Veterinary Consultation: Always consult your veterinarian before administering Prazipet Plus, especially if your pet is pregnant, nursing, or has a pre-existing medical condition. Your vet can confirm the presence of worms through a fecal exam and recommend the appropriate treatment plan.

• Not for Human Use: Keep the tablets out of reach of children, as clearly indicated on the packaging. Avoid handling them if you are pregnant or have a sensitivity to the active ingredients.

• Storage: Store the tablets in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture, to maintain their potency. Ensure the packaging is tightly closed when not in use. The expiration date on the packaging is November 2024, so ensure the product is used before this date for maximum efficacy.

• Side Effects: While Prazipet Plus is generally well-tolerated, some pets may experience mild side effects such as temporary loss of appetite, mild diarrhea, or lethargy. These symptoms typically resolve on their own, but if they persist or worsen, contact your veterinarian immediately.

• Allergies and Sensitivities: If your pet has a known allergy to any of the active ingredients (Praziquantel, Pyrantel Pamoate, or Fenbendazole), do not use this product without veterinary guidance.
