On the question of “how to deworm a cat”, today I would like to leave behind the same old articles and answers on the internet and share only the useful information for your cat’s health. It is recommended to collect for newbie poopers!
First, how to deworm cats, first of all, to understand why we need to deworm cats?
Here are some of the more common misconceptions about cat deworming. Many people feel that their cats are kept at home, clean, and usually do not come into contact with other cats, so they do not need to go to great lengths to deworm their cats. This is definitely a wrong perception and is not advisable.
Because parasites are everywhere, cats are at risk of contracting parasites at any time and anywhere. For example, the clothes worn home by the cat owner when she goes out may carry parasites and eggs; the sewers, air conditioning openings, carpet corners, garbage cans, flower pots and other places at home can easily breed parasites; cockroaches, mosquitoes and other insects are also carriers of parasites ……
It can be seen that even if the cat does not go out, there is a high chance of being infected with parasites, so the cat must be dewormed on time.
Second, how to deworm cats, next look at which worms to deworm?
In vivo parasites: roundworms, hookworms, tapeworms, trichomonads, coccidia, heartworm and toxoplasma…
Ectoparasites: fleas, ticks, lice, ear tick mites, etc.

Third, how to deworm cats, let’s look at how often deworming should be carried out?
Some people think that deworming can be done as long as it is done in summer, once every three months or even once a year! This idea is wrong!
Because parasites grow regardless of the season and reproduce rapidly, completing a complete life cycle takes only about 3 weeks, while the general cat deworming medicine maintains its effect for about 1 month, so it is best to deworm the cat once a month.
Fourth, how to deworm a cat and also know how old the cat is when it is first dewormed?
It is recommended to start the first in vitro deworming when the cat is 2 months old. Due to the fear of intolerance in kittens, it is recommended that the first in vivo deworming be done 1 week after the in vitro deworming for insurance purposes.
