FAQS
-
What’s The Difference Between Spot-On Wormer And Wormer Tablets?
Spot-on wormer is applied to the skin at the back of your cat’s neck, while worming tablets are given by mouth. Both are designed to treat common intestinal worms when used as directed, so the best choice usually comes down to what’s easiest for your cat.
-
Is Spot-On Wormer Better Than A Tablet?
Not always. Spot-on wormer can be a great option for cats who hate taking tablets, while tablets may suit cats who are easier to medicate. The most important thing is choosing a treatment you can give correctly and regularly.
-
How Often Should I Worm My Cat?
Most cats need regular dewormer to stay protected, even if they seem healthy. How often depends on their age, lifestyle and risk level, so it's important to use tailored worming treatment. Just tell Itch about your cat after you've clicked Get Started and we'll tailor the right dose for them, on a repeat worm subscription.
-
Can I Use Flea Treatment And Wormer At The Same Time?
You can usually protect your cat against fleas and worms as part of a regular routine, but always check the instructions before combining treatments. If your cat is unwell, pregnant, very young or on other medication, speak to your vet first.
-
Which Cat Wormer Is Right For My Cat?
If your cat takes tablets easily, our wormer tablet is a simple option. If your cat avoids tablets or finds them stressful, our spot-on wormer may be easier to apply. Both options can be delivered regularly, so you never forget to miss a treatment.
-
Does Spot On Wormer Work As Well As Tablets?
Spot on wormers work just as effectively as worming tablets to kill intestinal worms in cats. Itch Wormer Spot On Plus and Itch Wormer Tablets are both fast and effective worm treatments for cats - what works best is just down to your cat's suitability. Scroll up to compare spot on wormer and worming tablets.
-
What If My Cat Won’t Take Worming Tablets?
Some cats are experts at spotting, spitting out, or refusing tablets. A spot-on wormer can be a less stressful option because it’s applied to the skin instead of given by mouth. Just make sure you apply it correctly and choose the right treatment for your cat’s weight and needs.
