Cats are small animals that love to be clean, but in any case, they are just small animals. It is inevitable that they will be attached to small bugs such as ticks and fleas, and even breed internal parasites.

Friends who raise cats all know the importance of deworming cats. This is not only related to the health and comfort of the cat, but also a kind of protection for the cat.

Deworming is divided into internal deworming and external deworming. If the cat is an adult and does not eat raw meat or drink raw water, and will not be taken to the pet hospital to play outdoors, internal deworming can be done once every six months.

As for external deworming, domestic cats living in the north can do it once every six months. In the south where the environment is humid and easy to breed bacteria, it is recommended to do it once every three months.

There are currently several brands of cat anthelmintic drugs that are widely used. Some of them only remove internal parasites or only internal parasites, and some also remove internal and external parasites at the same time.
