I usually use Stronghold or Revolution. These products are spot on though but they are very effective. Otherwise there are different tablets for fleas and worms (one for worms and a different one for parasites). Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.

The Advantage Multi and Drontal contain different ingredients that do not negatively interact in the body, so they are safe to give together. Drontal usually comes in a size-specific bottle for cats and will have the recommended dosage labeled on the side. I recommend only using the Drontal as stated by the manufacturer. A link to their website is below: https://www.bayerdvm.com/show.aspx/productdetail/drontal-tablets When it comes to treating for parasites, it's always best to do so in consultation with your veterinarian. A vet can easily test for the type of parasites present and will be able to give you the best treatment options and prevention advice for the future. They can also make sure that you are not giving medication unnecessarily, or in a potentially dangerous way. I hope that helps and all is well with Jet.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Unfortunately, there is nothing orally for cats that works to my knowledge. All the options for cats that I am aware of are topical. If you do decide to try a topical product PLEASE read the labels carefully as there are a few that are sold for dogs that are FATAL to cats. I like Advantage II from Bayer. It is over the counter, very effective, and lasts about 4 weeks - long enough to break the life cycle. Unfortunately, all the cats would need to be treated at the same time to prevent re-infestation. Best of luck to you and the cats!

The type of dewormer depends on the intestinal parasite. If you post or describe the parasite I might be able to help you further. Check this product if Cristoph has roundworms: or this one if he has tapeworm: https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/bayer-tapeworm-dewormer-tablets-for-cats?rrec=true Please refer to your vet or post again if you have any doubt, question or you are not sure regarding the amount to administer. Please make sure is the correct product for his size and age. I hope this answer was helpful.

Hi and thanks for posting on Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! For cats, I would recommend Revolution which a topical solution applied once monthly. It helps prevents fleas and intestinal parasites in cats. It is easy to use and very effective in cats. This is a prescription medication your can obtain through Jax's veterinarian. I hope this helps!
