Cat deworming options: internal and external deworming vs separate deworming

Regarding the choice of cat deworming, there are two common methods: the use of internal and external deworming drugs and separate internal and external deworming. Here’s a detailed comparison of the two approaches:

The advantages of both internal and external deworming

1. Convenient: The internal and external deworming drug can deworm the cat inside and outside at the same time with only one operation, which is very convenient.

2. Broad-spectrum deworming: both internal and external deworming drugs can usually repel a variety of parasites, such as WERVIC imidacloprid moxicodin drops, both internal and external deworming can repel 12 kinds of parasites inside and outside cats.

3. Prevention is better than cure: Regular use of internal and external deworming drugs can effectively prevent parasitic infections and prevent your cat from being affected by skin diseases or other health problems.

Advantages of separate deworming

1. More targeted: internal deworming and external deworming are aimed at different insect spectra, and separate deworming can make the deworming range wider and more thorough.

2. Mild and safe ingredients: Some professional internal and external insect repellent combinations, the ingredients are mild and safe, will not affect the health of the cat.

3. High palatability: Some internal deworming drugs have chicken liver flavor coating, which is high palatability and easy for cats to accept.

Matters needing attention

No matter which deworming method you choose, you need to pay attention to the following points:

1. Health state: the cat can only be dewormed in a completely healthy state, and the cat with poor physique and low resistance may get sick because of deworming.

2. Correct dosage and frequency: When using deworming drugs, it is necessary to operate in strict accordance with the prescribed dosage and frequency of use, so as not to achieve the deworming effect or lead to poisoning of cats.

3. Avoid licking: After using external deworming drugs, the cat needs to wear an Elizabeth ring to prevent the cat from licking the drug to affect the deworming effect.

4. Isolation measures: In a multi-cat family, the cats that have just been dewormed need to be isolated separately to avoid licking each other.

5. Bathing restrictions: It is not appropriate to bathe the cat three days before and after deworming, so as not to affect the deworming effect.
