Prices of dewormer are outrageous here. When I lived in Malaysia with my cats it cost me only 5 ringgit's a month per cat. Soooo cheap! Vet care here in canada is ridiculously expensive! 😖
same in us they like to gouge us cause they know we will buy everything for our pets.
Thank you for all of the great information.
Thank you very much for this info... & right when I need it for all my cats!!
Much thanks!
Thank you for your info!!
You are so knowledgeable. Very well done video. Thank you.
thank you for this great video! Could you talk about rotational feeding for cats? I really want to be feeding my cat different types of protein with wet food and would love to hear how your cats are able to try so many different foods without getting an upset stomach.
I would love a kitty litter video for cats with sensitive paws! ❤
Can you do a video about brushing cats teeth? My 5 year old cat hates having her teeth brushed and my kitten just wants to lick/bite the brush. Would also love to know if the sticks and water additives actually work and are healthy/safe.
Thank you for this super important video. Pyrantel Pamoate appears to be effective in 2 doses spread around 3 weeks apart. It's also the cheapest by far.
Pyrantel is NOT effective against Tapeworms
Home pet WRM clear for parasites. I hope it works. I felt you dog this cat medicine.
Fenbendazole is the only one that gets rid of whip worms.
thanks so much
Diatomaceous earth does work, and so does garlic. Vets tell you garlic is toxic, not true. I’ve had cats for many years and give them garlic drop’s during flea season.
@@michaelzambito6323 do your research. My cats are healthy and living long lives. And no fleas or worms. It’s the harsh chemicals in the treatment that many vets recommend that is poisonous. One of my cats died at the care of a conventional veterinary, never again!!
Diatomaceous works wonders
How does that work? You’re feeding it to them?
@@OMJunkie Yes I do. Totally safe, I’ve had cat for over 20 years.
The vet treatment can make cats very sick. One of my cats lost all his fur on the spot where it was administered
what dosage do you use and how often. thank you.
I've used a pill crusher and add a little water and then use a syringe.
yes!
I don't know how anyone can trust Hartz with the number of pets their products have killed. I'm shocked to find them in your video.
Oh my god that brand kills cats, I’ve been using the dewormer on my cat for the past two weeks and I haven’t seen any of them go away I feel like shit
My cat's an indoor/outdoor cat and I've been using a monthly flea treatment which also treats roundworm, hookworm, ear mites, lungworm and prevention of heartworm. I'm in Australia, so I don't know if things are all that different, but I'm hoping this is a good basis. Thankfully she's never had any problems and I make sure I give it to her each month. Just wondering on your opinion on "over the counter", store bought type treatments like these? Thanks for all the education you keep bringing us!😊😺
Don't do it. Revolution is great. Wish the veterinarians would understand as a pet owner there has to be a more affordable way.
@@marykpatterson4534 thanks for the tip! At the moment I'm paying about $20/$23 a month (Australian dollars). Which does add up over a year, but although I'm not working right now, I want to keep her as healthy as possible and just prevent things that could leave her really uncomfortable and worse.
What's that called please, looking for something like that for my 5 cats. Thanks
@dare2music645 I've now found much more affordable options online. At the moment, I'm using a brand called Bravecto that lasts 3 months rather than having to do it every month. Have a look online, there's heaps of information, and any advice from friends or vet can help you choose a product that's right for your situation. Good luck with it!😊
@dare2music645 hi! These days, I'm getting products for this online as it's much more economical. I don't have a credit card (I always get into financial disasters when I get one), so I just ask my brother to use his, etc. I'm getting a brand called Bravecto which lasts 3 months rather than one. I've used it on my cat for about 6 months now, and all seems fine - she just hates having it administered (no change there!) I can imagine with 5 cats, it could be very expensive if you were buying it how I was originally. You'd be spending about $100 a month 😬, there are options out there. Hope this is some help even though I'm certainly not a vet!
No speghetti for dinner tonight.
Mallory have you heard of the holistic deworming option of raw pumpkin seeds and food grade diatomaceous earth? If so are those effective? I tried the Bayer cat deworming pill once. the only way to tell if your cat has worms (besides stool sample) is if they have a stinky butt with oval things on it correct?
Appetite will improve within 48hrs, hair oils will improve within a week, energy level goes back to normal within 72hrs, breath odor goes back to normal.
@@michaelzambito6323 Are you sure not confusing "holistic" with "homeopathic"? Holistic medicine combines accepted conventional treatment with alternative approaches. Homeopathy is bunk, though.
From what I’ve read the DE works well. I believe it’s half a teaspoon for 7 days. It can also be applied topically for fleas but you do have to be careful of the dust irritating your cats eyes and nose. I’ve tried it for one 7 day cycle but she didn’t have worms or fleas, it was just for maintenance. So whether it really works or not I have no experience to speak from. Thanks for reminding me to try it again 🙂
Hello catwoman 😃 great topic!
I've never needed to deworm my cats. I'll call the vet's office this week and ask if it is something we should be doing. They've never needed it, they are indoor exclusively other than the catio we have built for them on our deck. This is important information to have and I will call the vets office and ask if this is something we should be doing.
It's not really "deworming" as it is a preventative and cautionary method. Even if they are indoor only, you can still bring in worms yourself (with your shoes for example). You also have a catio, as she mentioned worms can be transferred by bugs like mosquitos and etc. It is important to regularly give worm medicine to your pets, 4 times a year. More often if they eat raw food.
Interesting. Our vet five Panacur for tape worms.
Remember, if one cat has worms, assume all of them have it. Deworm them all within 3 days if using Drontal.
Best thing to do. I'm wondering, as we are so close with our cats, should we go to the doctor if our cat gets intestinal worms and which do/don't go from them to us. For example, I know we don't get the ear mites they do but humans get worms!
@@loretta_3843 don't lick your cat's a-hole & you'll be fine
Do you have any suggestions for cats who overgroom and lose lots of fur with itching?
Use coconut oil externally n internally
Could be allergies, for example some cats are allergic to turkey.
Would you suggest Diatomaceous Earth (Food Grade). About a teaspoon mixed in their wet food once a day for a week
Oh I saw the end and you mentioned it.
I wish I was a cat, and she was my owner ...meaoow 😺
Is advantage plus as good as revolution plus?
I recommend senergy, it is cheaper and worked better on my 3 cats with eliminating fleas than those did for me.
Any decatters? My worms are really going through it

Diatomacious Earth works
Why the hell do we need to go to a vet to get dewormers. With vet bills going thru the roof DUE TO THE ECONOMY, so many people are forgoing owning any pet and/or DUMPING their dogs and cats.
But I’m not %100 sure which one to get though. I have a 5 month kitten. Any tips? I’d appreciate it, thanks.
Right!
Use DE

Gday mate hope all is well, love your videos I've been using advocate on my 1 and only rescue kitty cat his over 6kg but he has a dog window and enclosure so want to keep him safe from heartworm flea's I also made sure he had his aids vaccination just in case a cat does come to his enclosure and sneezes or hiss at him God 4bid wouldn't want him 2get feline aids😿😢
So I'm unsure weather 2 get advocate or go revolution/ revolution plus?
He is 10 yrs old I've been blessed 2 have him since 2015 he was a stray living on a bin across the road the lady would feed the strays.
It was odd because he was desexed not microchip he is 2 Mr now but he either ran away,got lost or sadly dumped.
If dumped totally my gain im SOOOOOO lucky 2 have hom very very blessed🙏😻🐾❤️
But in Australia can buy revolution over counter at animal places.
So do you think advocate isn't good 4 my kitty revolution better?
Thanks soooo very very much in advance for your reply I really really appreciate your time and help.
I want to make sure my fur baby has the best one that's PPUUUUURRRFECT 4 him😻🙏🐾❤️

Diatomaceous earth is the safest way to do it without pesticides and poisons. Terrible advice on this video. Very disappointing.
Please don't suggest diatomaceous earth. Not only do you have to give your poor cat DE for a month, the studies are mixed. Why wouldn't you just go and get actual science backed dewormer for like $5? Are you serious??
Yes it doesn’t work
I let my cat starve a little, crush the meds and mix it in their wet food with gravy.
