Merial Animal Health has launched Veloxa, a palatable broad spectrum dewormer for dogs, effective against roundworm, hookworm, whipworm and tapeworm.

Merial says Veloxa uses a proprietary technology which coats the bitter active ingredients in the beef-flavoured chewable tablets. In the company's palatability tests it achieved 97% acceptance. 

Veloxa tablets are scored for accurate dosing and come in two sizes:

• Veloxa for small to medium dogs (2.5 to 30kg), available in 2,4,8 and 104 tablet packs.
• Veloxa XL for large dogs (17.5 to 70kg), available in 2,4,8 and 48 tablet packs.

Christine Male, Product Manager of Veloxa said: "Merial has a strong heritage in anti-parasitics and understands how difficult it can be for pet owners to administer worming tablets, so we are extremely pleased to be able to offer Veloxa as part of the Merial anti-parasitics range."
