The best tablets for worms for cats and cats

A hidden threat – this is how any helminthiasis can be described in a nutshell. Unlike ectoparasites (fleas, ticks), helminthic invasions are completely invisible at first, and therefore especially dangerous. Outwardly, they appear, as a rule, when the body is too heavily infected, and treatment becomes either very laborious, or, in especially severe cases, impossible at all.

In order not to expose the cat to such a risk, it is necessary to prevent helminthiases about once every six months – give him special pills. As a rule, they all have a wide spectrum of action and help against a variety of types of helminths, so a well-chosen drug will completely rid the animal of parasites.

How to choose tablets from worms for cats and cats

Today in any veterinary pharmacy you can see a huge number of different preparations for worms for cats and cats: imported and domestic, expensive and not very expensive. What to choose? After all, I want the pills to be effective and at the same time not harm the cat.

The main thing that you need to study when choosing a drug is the instructions that are always included in the package. Pay attention to contraindications and side effects: how many of them and what.

Further, good deworming tablets should have a broad spectrum of action, that is, rid the pet of most parasites. Highly specialized means are good only when you need to cure a cat from infection with one type of helminth.

But it’s absolutely not worth chasing the price – high or low, it is in no way an indicator of the quality of the drug.
