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.
