Virbac Tapewormer for Dogs and Cats

Description

Virbac Tapeworm Tablets are for the prevention and treatment of tapeworm in dogs and cats, including hydatids in dogs. Administration of treatment is required every three months.

There are several different species of tapeworms that dogs can be infected with. The species of greatest importance include Dipylidium caninum (flea tapeworm) and Echinococcus granulosus (hydatid tapeworm). The flea tapeworm is the most common species of tapeworm that infects dogs but infection with this worm does not usually cause any ill effects. However, the hydatid tapeworm poses a serious health risk to humans, despite not causing any real ill effects to the dog.
