How does Virbantel work?
Virbantel contains the powerful ingredients of pyrantel pamoate and praziquantel to treat and control roundworms, hookworms and tapeworms. Virbantel is easy to administer to puppies at least 12 weeks of age, and adult dogs because it comes in a flavored, chewable tablet that most pets love. Although Virbantel is a convenient remedy for worms, it is recommended that you consult your vet before administration.
Cautions:
Consult your veterinarian for assistance in the diagnosis, treatment, and control of parasitism. Do not deworm a sick dog or puppy. Consult a veterinarian for diagnosis of the illness. Safety in breeding or pregnant dogs has not been tested. Contact your veterinarian if you notice signs of vomiting, loose stools (with or without blood), and decreased activity after treatment.
Virbantel Directions:
- Speak to your vet before administering Virbantel to your pet.
- Virbantel should be given as a single dose.

Breed Lab-pit mix
2 tablets per dose in bottle
I got this med from my vet who prescribed it to my dog who has hook worms. I paid $48.00 for 2 tablets to be given 1 tab every 2 weeks. That's the dosage. Please be aware when you buy this product that there's only 2 tablets in the pack.

Only Two Tablets! (NOT 2 bottles.)
I agree with Tammy. PetMeds shows a picture of a bottle that is labled as "50 Flavored Chewables", so it is easy to think that the "two-pack" refers to two bottles, since anybody who has ever shopped a membership warehouse has been oft exposed to the product bundling strategies employed by marketers. It seems to me like Tammy's assumption is one that's easy to make, and I appreciate her warning. PetMeds, please make this clearer. Two Pack means two tablets; not two bottles.

Good product, but was really dissatisfied to find only two tablets in each bottle. I placed a large order because we are an animal shelter in Montego bay jamaica and I have to pay 50% duty on top of the cost of the tablets. They were packed separately, so I got like 10 bottles each with just 2 tablets. An expensive mistake on my part. Please make it clearer what you are selling.

QUESTION
Do you need a prescription from your vet to purchase dog worming medications ? And why didn’t my vet tell me that I would need to give my dogs a second dose and when ?
ANSWERS (1)
Thank you for your question. We offer both prescription and non-prescription deworming medication. A second dose is not always necessary unless your furry friend becomes reinfected. It is recommended to deworm puppies every 2 weeks from 2 weeks of age to 3 months, then deworm monthly until 6 months of age. And for adult dogs deworm every 3 months.

QUESTION
Why does the bottle picture show 50 chewable tablets but only 2 are included?
(When) do you plan on having the larger back in stock? How many small tablets should I give my 76# German Shepard puppy?
Thanks!
ANSWERS (1)
A 76 lb german shepherd should get two 114 mg tablets. This is only sold in packs of 2 because that is the typical dose to treat worms. Usually, people do not need 50 tablets, so we break it down to the amount they need.

QUESTION
Do I have to be concerned about any worm excretion in the stool (I have other animals in the house) after the use of this product?
ANSWERS (1)
We are currently out of stock of this product, but it is recommended to dose all pet(s) in your home if one pet has worms.
