Worming Your Cat

Cats may suffer from a variety of intestinal worms, including roundworms, hookworms, whipworms and tapeworms. Worm infestation can lead to serious problems in a cat, so it is important to employ a prevention programme from a young age. Young kittens are usually treated fortnightly; adult cats should be treated every three months.

While effective in killing adult worms that are present in the intestine at the time of treatment, worming is not a vaccine against future attacks. That's why regular treatment - especially in your pet's early months - is essential to its health. Cats can be reinfected from other pets and from the environment.
