Good questions
Why does tapeworm keep coming back?
Most pets get tapeworm by swallowing fleas. If fleas are still around, the cycle starts again, so treat fleas too.
Is there a version for cats?
Yes. Prazi comes in separate versions for dogs and for cats.
How long is a course?
Once a day for 2 days. The label says you can repeat monthly if needed. Dose by weight: 0.25 ml for every 3 lb.
When should I call the vet?
If your pet has ongoing diarrhea, vomiting or weight loss, or you are not sure what the segments are.
