You will find single-ingredient options for tapeworms or roundworms, and combination products that address mixed parasite risks. Labels indicate age suitability for kittens, weight brackets, and repeat dosing needs. Some items are monthly preventives; others are short-course treatments used to clear current infections.Across the range, you will see actives commonly used in feline anthelmintics and related preventives. Examples include praziquantel tablets (Droncit) for targeted cestodes and combination tablets covering multiple worm types. Topical choices can simplify dosing for cats that resist swallowing. For topical emodepside/praziquantel, see topical emodepside/praziquantel. For a focused tapeworm option, consider praziquantel tablets (Droncit), used under veterinary direction when cestodes are confirmed or strongly suspected.How to ChooseStart with confirmed or likely parasite types, your cat’s age and weight, and prior deworming history. If a mixed risk is present, your veterinarian may recommend a broad spectrum cat dewormer after reviewing fecal testing and exposure patterns. Match the product’s labeled species, minimum weight, and interval to your cat’s profile. Consider handling preferences: some cats accept small tablets, while others need liquids or a topical approach.Work from active ingredients, not just brand names, to avoid duplication. Pyrantel products target roundworms and hookworms; praziquantel targets tapeworms; and certain combinations add monthly prevention. For roundworm-dominant cases, a pyrantel suspension can suit first-line use. For multi-day regimens and broad GI coverage, see fenbendazole granules. If you want condition-led guidance, review Feline Roundworm Infections and Feline Hookworm Infections for focused context.Confirm weight-based dosing and re-dosing intervals before starting.Avoid mixing similar actives unless directed by a veterinarian.Store products per label; heat and moisture can degrade stability.Popular OptionsMany clinicians rely on established single-ingredient and combination products with clear label directions. Praziquantel remains a mainstay for tapeworms; discuss praziquantel for cats with your veterinarian when cestode exposure is likely. Tablet size, pillability, and the need for retreatment depend on lifestyle factors such as hunting, flea exposure, and multi-pet households. When flea control is active, reinfection pressure from tapeworms often drops.For multi-worm coverage in a convenient oral format, milbemycin oxime + praziquantel tablets are commonly chosen for adult cats and kittens that meet label weight thresholds. If a non-oral route fits better, eprinomectin + praziquantel topical offers cestode and nematode coverage with a spot-on application. Selection often reflects your handling preferences, past tolerance, and specific parasite risks documented by fecal testing or area prevalence.Related Conditions & UsesIntestinal worms can affect growth, gut function, and coat quality, and some species pose zoonotic risks. Many products here address intestinal parasites in cats as part of routine care, especially in multi-cat homes and outdoor lifestyles. If your cat hunts rodents or has unreliable flea control, tapeworm risk rises. When tapeworm segments are noted, species confirmation guides focused dosing and timing.For condition-specific pages, review Feline Tapeworm Infections for cestode details and transmission routes. Broader parasite overviews are outlined under Worms in Cats, including practical household hygiene steps and monitoring intervals. If your veterinarian suspects extra-intestinal risk, such as heartworm exposure, management may include separate preventives beyond GI coverage and periodic testing to align with local epidemiology and patient history.Medical disclaimer: This content is for informational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional medical advice.Authoritative SourcesFor evidence-based guidance on feline deworming, the Companion Animal Parasite Council provides consensus recommendations for diagnosis, treatment, and prevention across common feline parasites and testing intervals.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a prescription for cat deworming products?
Some feline worm treatments require a prescription, while others do not. Prescription items often combine actives or carry specific safety directions, especially for kittens or cats with comorbidities. Over-the-counter options may suit routine roundworm or tapeworm scenarios but still benefit from fecal testing and veterinary input. Check each item’s label and regulatory status before ordering. When in doubt, ask your veterinarian to confirm the correct product, dose, and retreatment interval for your cat’s age and weight.
Which form works best: tablet, liquid, or topical?
Choose a format your cat will reliably accept and that matches the target worms. Tablets offer precise dosing and broad coverage in compact forms. Liquids and pastes help when hiding pills is difficult or weight-based titration is needed. Topicals suit cats that resist oral dosing and may combine multiple actives. Always verify the labeled species, minimum weight, and re-dosing schedule. Follow handling and storage directions to maintain stability and prevent dosing errors.
How often should kittens be dewormed?
Kittens are commonly dewormed on a repeating schedule during early life, then transitioned to maintenance based on risk. Veterinarians often start deworming at 2–3 weeks of age and repeat at set intervals through weaning. Frequency depends on regional parasite pressure, indoor/outdoor status, and fecal test results. Use kitten-appropriate actives and confirm the minimum weight on the label. Document doses and timing to avoid gaps, and coordinate with vaccinations and flea control.
Can I use one product for both prevention and treatment?
Some products provide monthly prevention against several parasites, while others are designed to treat active infections. Your veterinarian may recommend a short-course treatment first, followed by a monthly preventive tailored to your area’s risks. Avoid overlapping products with similar actives unless directed, as double dosing can cause adverse effects. Review labels for the specific parasites covered, dosing frequency, and retreatment intervals. Align choices with fecal testing and prior deworming history.
What should I check before ordering a dewormer online?
Confirm the product matches your cat’s species, age, and weight range. Review the active ingredients, dose per kilogram, and whether a prescription is required. Check storage and handling instructions, especially for liquids and topicals. Ensure the intended parasites are listed on the label and plan any needed repeat dosing. Keep records of previous products to avoid duplicating similar actives. Packaging, supply, and stock can vary by region and season, so verify details at checkout.
