Product Information
Key Features
Broad Spectrum of Activity – Canex Cube effectively controls 11 gastrointestinal worms including hydatid tapeworms.
Compatable – Canex may be combined with other treatments such as heartworm prevention, flea or tick treatments.
Wide Safety Margin – Canex offers gentle, effective control of gastrointestinal worms. Pyrantel, oxantel and praziquantel have wide safety margins because they are relatively insoluble so are poorly absorbed from the intestine. It can be given to all dogs including old animals, young pups, working dogs, greyhounds, pregnant and lactating bitches.
Dogs: One cube/10kg (rounded up to the nearest half or whole cube). The cube can be offered by hand or added intact to the food. Chewing should be encouraged. Give in pieces to dogs that normally swallow treats whole. Fasting prior to dosing is not necessary. Weigh dogs before treatment.
