Albon is a preventative medicine. It's an anti parasite used to terminate the parasite coccidia and is administered orally. It's required for your 1 year Health Guarantee to be valid. Albon is more of a precautionary step we take for all the pups in case they have trouble during the transition period. Think of it like vitamins for dogs. The amount we send with the dog will last about 9 days. Once the Albon is gone, it's not necessary to pick up more unless you want to keep it around the house as precaution. Please read more information on Albon in our Warranty Section.
