Cat Health, Exceptional Feline Veterinary Care

Parasite Control for Cats

Parasites and bugs can cause cats great discomfort, and even possibly death. Many kittens are born with worms. These worms can stunt your cat's growth and sap their energy as well as cause diarrhea and certain life-threatening diseases, which can also be transmitted to humans.

Preventing worms requires effective preventive and deworming medication and routine fecal exams. A Banfield Optimum Wellness Plan® includes scheduled checkups to identify worms, as well as the safe administration of preventive dewormers. Your Banfield veterinarian will work with you to select the plan that best fits your cat's life and health conditions by combining care, experience and proven medical strategies.

Worms attack from within, while cat fleas, ticks, lice and mites all make their assault from the outside. Every one of these parasites needs to be avoided to keep your cat healthy and happy throughout his or her long life.
