It is also used for the treatment and control of hookworms (Ancylostoma caninum, A. braziliense, and Uncinaria stenocephala) and roundworms (ascarids - Toxocara canis, Toxascaris leonina). If these are the manufacturer's claims whos really at fault? It is a false claim, and certainly most people are inclined to believe a manufacturer's statement. Sad but true.
