Uses of Bandystar Plus dewormer in dogs
Vets and pet parents use Bandystar Plus dewormer for routine intestinal worm treatment for dogs, and Bandystar Plus for dogs is a common pick for home deworming. Common signs of worms include loose stools, a pot belly, weight loss despite a good appetite, scooting and worms in stool or vomit. Read our guide on symptoms of worms in dogs to know what to look for.
Roundworm and hookworm treatment for dogs
This is the usual roundworm and hookworm treatment for dogs in one tablet:
Roundworms (Toxocara canis): pyrantel paralyses the worms so they pass out in stool
Hookworms (Ancylostoma caninum and Uncinaria stenocephala): also cleared by pyrantel
Tapeworm and whipworm treatment for dogs
Here is the tapeworm and whipworm treatment for dogs the same tablet provides:
Tapeworms (Dipylidium caninum and Taenia species): praziquantel makes the worm detach and get digested
Whipworms (Trichuris vulpis): febantel blocks the worm’s glucose uptake
Benefits of deworming tablets for dogs

What if you miss a dose of dog deworming tablets
Missed a scheduled deworming?

Bandystar Plus questions answered
What is Bandystar Plus tablet used for?
Bandystar Plus tablets are used for intestinal worm treatment for dogs. They cover roundworms, hookworms, whipworms and tapeworms in a single chewable dose. Use them for routine deworming or when you spot worms, such as loose stools or a pot belly, and repeat after at least 30 days or as your vet directs.
What is the Bandystar Plus tablet dosage per kg?
The standard dose is one tablet per 10 kg of body weight as a single oral dose. A 15 kg dog gets 2 tablets and a 25 kg dog gets 3. The page recommends Bandystar Plus XL for dogs above 30 kg. Weigh your dog before every dose.
Is Bandystar Plus for dogs safe for puppies?
Not for puppies under 3 months of age. Younger pups need a puppy-specific dewormer such as Bandystar Pup, dosed by weight. Once your puppy is over 3 months and weighs enough, follow the weight table above, and repeat after at least 30 days or follow your vet’s own schedule.
Can I give Bandystar Plus tablets to cats?
No, this listing is a dog-only product and should not be given to cats. Cats need a cat-specific dewormer at the right dose. Use the Bandystar tablet made for cats, or ask a vet which dewormer suits your cat, kitten or senior cat, and always dose by weight.
Do these dog deworming tablets cover tapeworms?
Yes, the praziquantel in each tablet works against tapeworms such as Dipylidium caninum and Taenia species. Pyrantel covers roundworms and hookworms, and febantel covers whipworms. Tapeworms often return through fleas, so pair deworming with regular tick and flea control to stop them coming back, as one tablet will not prevent reinfection.
What is the difference between Bandystar Plus and Bandystar Plus XL?
Both are combination dewormers, but Bandystar Plus XL is the version the page recommends for dogs above 30 kg. This regular pack suits smaller and medium dogs, dosed at one tablet per 10 kg. Check your weight chart before choosing, and ask a vet near 30 kg.
Do I need a prescription for Bandystar Plus?
The listing marks Bandystar Plus as a Schedule H medicine, so prescription rules may apply. Check the prescription note at checkout, since requirements can differ by order. If you are unsure whether your dog needs one, talk to a Supertails vet before you buy or give the tablet.
How much do Bandystar Plus 2 tablets cost?
The Bandystar Plus 2 tablets pack is ₹111 at the time of writing, against an MRP of ₹113, so you save a little on every order. The 4 tablet pack is ₹224 and the 6 tablet pack is ₹322. Check the live price on this page, as offers can change.
