Elanco Tapeworm Dewormer (praziquantel tablets) for Cats and Kittens 6 Weeks and Older, 3-count

I’ve had to come back to this twice so far. It can be difficult to administer. The first time I tried to break it into small pieces and get my cat to swallow it. No go, kept spitting it out. So I mixed it in a bit of water and shot it into their mouths. I was afraid I lost too much of the dose between the cat spitting pieces out, and losing some of it when I tried to crush it, but it still worked fine.Same the second time around. This time I was careful to crush it into a powder and put it in my cat’s wet food. She ate a bit but wouldn’t touch it as soon as she realized there was medicine in it. Even so, it was still enough to get rid of the worms within a day.I think a liquid dewormer would be easier to mix with, but it’s hard to find a trustworthy looking one that’s specific for tapeworms. So

I have six cats, and despite keeping them strictly indoors every few years or so they get fleas somehow. And along with fleas come tapeworms, which are so disgusting.Luckily this medication is sold OTC and is the exact same effective ingredient as what your vet will prescribe for tapeworms. This is actual medicine, not a scam like the homeopathic products. It works pretty much immediately.Depending on the cat, I've administered it in several ways - the tablets fit inside pill pockets, which is probably the easiest way to do. But if your cats are picky or clever, you can also grind it up into a powder and mix in with wet food. For the most stubborn, you can mix the powder with milk and give it to them orally with a syringe. All three have resulted in successful treatment.Note that this product works for tapeworm ONLY. Please if you are unsure what kind of worms your cat has, take them to the vet before attempting self medicate. Other types of worms do not respond to this medicine and are more harmful to your cat.

I have a cat obsessed with licking, he gets worms A LOT. I really should buy this in bulk as I have to use it every 10 days for like a month to fully get rid of the worms. IT IS effective.. I just have a little man who will keep reinfecting himself so I have to keep him fully dosed til there is no chance for him to reinfect himself.That I have seen there is no taste or smell and most of my cats take it well as long as I dont try to hide it or trick them.its a tiny pill so its easy to just put in the back of their mouth and get them to swallow.I have also not noticed any side effects what so ever.for someone who has a lot of cats and doesnt want to pay 80 dollars a shot for vet wormer every time I turn around.. this is a great great product I keep it on hand at all times.

In the event that your cat ends up with tapeworms, for whatever reason, this is the go-to for fixing it yourself. Tablets are typical, tablet-sized, and there aren't many in the bottle. With that being said, though, you don't need many unless you're deworming an entire cat colony. I don't know how they taste since I didn't eat them myself, but the cat didn't really care for them (even though he took them anyway). The main thing is that they worked very well. No side effects and easy to use -- well, if you consider giving pills to cats to be an easy, fun past-time. Regardless, I'd use this product again.

Hi, I’m Cassie and I’m a tootaholic. Recently I’ve been tooting all day, every day. My humans said my toots smelled like sulfur. I thought they were being a bit dramatic, but then I noticed I was also having some potty issues. I’m an indoor-outdoor kitty and I’ve always been a very good girl who uses my litter box or goes outside; however, lately I’ve started going potty in the house, especially behind the bathtub. My poos were runny, stinky and streaked with blood. I also began having little rice pods fall out of my butt at night while I was asleep on my human’s bed. So, the human I call Food Giver, bought the special medicine which shall not be pronounced and then we got a visit from the Amazon guy. Food Giver crushed up one pill and snuck it into my food, or so she thought. (I knew it was in there, but don’t tell her. I have to let my humans think they’re the ones who actually run this place.) Anywho, I happily took the medicine, the rice pods went away and my poops are firmer, with no blood. Best of all, I’m not stinking up the whole house with my sulfur toots. I hope the special medicine works for your kitty! Love and whiskers, Cassie Mae 😸

Great Product!!!I spent a lot of money at a regular vet visit because my cat was strugling with anal glands, and diarrea. he got antibiotics but there was not any improvement 15 days after treatment.I gave this pills a try after some search of my cat symptoms on internet, he is totally indoor so I did not think about a dewormer as a solution at all, BUT after one or two days after taking the pills my cat poop was solid again, he was more playful and energetic . These pills work great for my him, he is healthy again!

This is one of the only dewormers that actually works for my cat. We tried almost every kind that we could get at our local stores, both liquid and pills, and trying this was a last resort due to its price per dose, but I cant argue with results. Clears em up very quickly, too, and my cat hasnt had any adverse side effects

This is my go-to med when I suspect my cats have worms. It seems to clear things up fast and there doesn't seem to be any negative side effects. My only issue is the size of the pill. I wish they had a gel capsule version to make it easier to for them to swallow or at least a coated pill. I struggle with finding ways to get this in their system. Each cat is different, but eventually I figure it out.
