Preventative Treatments
Wormers
-
Dronspot Wormer
+/- £7.50
Spot-on wormers are the easiest (but not the lowest priced) way to effectively treat your cats for worms.
We use Dronspot Spot-On Wormer for cats and kittens, as it's suitable from 8 weeks of age and over 0.5kg bodyweight, to treat tapeworms, roundworms, and hookworms.

Drontal Wormer Tablets
+/- £3.50
A more cost effective option than spot-ons (but more difficult to persuade your cat to have!) are Drontal Wormer Tablets.
The ones for Small and Medium Cats (under 4kg) are for the treatment of intestinal worms in cats and kittens over 6 weeks of age; please check dosage before administering to your cat.

Flea Treatments
There are a whole host of flea treatments available on the market - some good, some very questionable. Most vet-prescribed treatments are reliable and effective, although we have found over the last few years that fleas have become more immune to fipronil-based products than previously, so we tend to avoid these. We NEVER recommend supermarket own-brands, Johnsons, Bob Martin or Beaphar.
