Thats very true & they will try to give you a 7 day supply, it takes 21 days of treatment. You can do a yearly maintenance. I read this article when I was rescuing & every pup had it. It was helpful to me.

Also I added the suggested 12.5% Sulfadimethoxine in there water, but for small dogs albon 5% is best & it tastes good. Best buy on it is http://www.valleyvet.com/ct_detail.h...2-00b0d0204ae5
