Cat dewormer

Cats become infected with internal parasites in a variety of ways, including ingesting contaminated food or water, eating infected prey, or being in contact with other infected animals. Kittens are particularly vulnerable to internal parasites because their immune systems are still developing and they can be infected by their mother.

Why deworm your cat?

First of all, we must recognize that our cats are independent beings who like to go on long outings, to hunt. Some cats leave the house every evening only to return in the morning. They can therefore be contaminated by other animals.

Cats can become infected with different types of internal parasites, such as roundworms, tapeworms and protozoa.

These parasites cause health problems for your cat, such as:

• diarrhea,

• vomitings,

• weight loss,

• appetite disorders

• intestinal irritations.

Regularly giving your cat a dewormer is necessary to keep healthy.

Additionally, some intestinal parasites can also be transmitted to humans, which can cause illness in humans. It is therefore essential to protect your cat and your family against these parasites by regularly using a dewormer.

In other words, deworming your cat regularly can help prevent health problems caused by internal parasites and protect the health of your family.

When to deworm your cat?

Frequency of taking dewormer?

The ideal time to administer dewormer to your cat will depend on the type of dewormer you are using and your cat's individual situation. In general, it is recommended to deworm cats every 3 to 6 months, but this may vary depending on your cat's age, health, lifestyle and the environment in which they live.

The number of annual doses of dewormer depending on the environment and lifestyle?

Your cat is most certainly if it goes outside your home in contact with other animals or hunts prey, it may be more exposed to internal parasites. In this case, it may be recommended to give a dewormer more frequently, like all 3 months. If your cat lives indoors and does not have contact with other animals, it may be necessary to give dewormer less often, like all 6 months.

Follow the manufacturer's and your veterinarian's recommendations.

You should take care to follow the wormer manufacturer's instructions or seek advice from your veterinarian to find out

• when to give dewormer to your cat

• what is the appropriate dosage. This varies depending on the weight of your pet.

It is also best not to administer dewormers to your cat without first consulting a veterinarian, as some dewormers can be toxic to cats if used incorrectly.

Which wormer for cats?

There are several options for cat dewormers, notably :

1. Tablets : These dewormer tablets are administered orally and kill worms in the cat's intestine. They are available in several formats and dosages. You can purchase them from your veterinarian or online.
2. Dough : these dewormers are also administered orally. They are available in tubes and can be administered directly into the cat's mouth or mixed with food. The pastes can be flavored to be better accepted by your pet.
3. Injection : your veterinarian can administer a dewormer in the form of an injection into the cat's skin. This option may be helpful if your cat has difficulty taking oral medications.

Finally, a visit to your veterinarian will ensure that your animal is in good health. After talking with you, he will advise you on the dewormer to administer to your furball. And finally he will advise you on the frequency with which you will need to repeat the treatment.
