The pill is to be cut into quarters.
Get a pill cutter if you do not have one and give 1/4 of that pill.
You say you trust your vet, follow their instructions.
I googled it see chart below. One pill would be for a puppy weighing 12 Lbs. you are giving 1/4 of a pill not the entire pill.
Directions:
Each flavored chewable contains 30 mg of pyrantel pamoate and 30 mg of praziquantel. The dose for each drug is 2.27 mg per pound of body weight (5 mg/kg). Please refer to the following dosing table for help finding the right dose for your dog.
