Worming
As roundworms are very prevalent in kittens it is important to worm them very frequently when they are young. The recommendations are to treat every two weeks from about six weeks of age to 16 weeks of age, with a drug active against roundworms.
Tapeworms are only usually a problem in older cats, so adult cats need to be treated with a drug active against both roundworms and tapeworms. The precise frequency of treatment recommended will vary slightly depending on for example whether the cat hunts and whether or not it is treated regularly for fleas. Fleas can infect cats with tapeworm. We recommend treatment every 1-3 months in adult cats, with a drug active against roundworms and tapeworms.
We recommend PROFENDER spot-on or MILBEMAX tablets.
