Worming your kitten or pup to keep them healthy and happy
When you bring your new kitten or puppy into the home you will want to ensure that every aspect of your pet’s health is taken care of, and this includes making sure that he or she is free from lice and worms.
If you are looking for Pet Meds to treat either of these problems, then have a look at www.petmeds.co.uk where you will find a great selection of products designed to treat ailments in animals.
Frontline is one of the most effective products to treat fleas, ticks and lice in cats and dogs and you can order this direct from the website, as well as Drontal which is used to eliminate worms.
There are several types of worm which are found in young cats, with roundworm being the most common. There are two different types of roundworm, Toxocara cati and Toxascaris leonine, and the eggs from these worms are easily transmitted from one kitten to another.
With this in mind, it is important to worm them frequently when they are young. The recommendations are to treat kittens every two weeks when they reach six weeks old, using Drontal to ensure that the worms do not cause problems in the future.
If you haven’t wormed kittens before, you can find plenty of information online on the most effective way to get the pills into the cat’s system. Similarly, if you would like further information about Drontal, Frontline or any other pet meds to keep your animals in top shape, have a look at the petmeds website and see for yourself the wide range available.
