This dewormer is only for roundworms, if your dog is a young puppy then it is fine, if your dog is older than that it will not be good for him as most dogs suffer from tapeworms rather than roundworms.

    That dose should be safe for your dog, but if they are flat worms they are likely tapeworms, which won't be treated by a round worm dewormer like prosense.

    I would recommend speaking to you vet and taking a stool sample to them so they can find out what type of worms are present so you can get the appropriate treatment.
