My boys are on the same one and I think the smallest dose is 10 pounds and under. They are bigger boys, so I understand your concern. I think Sentinel is the same way: 2 to 10 pounds.
I don't understand the need for the second dewormer since the HG Plus covers roundworms and hookworms too. I've read here of breeders doing both though.
