Worming spot-ons

3 replies

Our cats get Advocate spot-on regularly which does fleas, ticks, mites and most worms, but it doesn't do tapeworms. They're hunters so we usually give them a Drontal tablet every three months, but they're getting wiser and wiser at ways to avoid it - I've just moved the kitchen bin and found a tablet behind it that I thought the little bugger darling had swallowed over a week ago! I don't know how they manage it, I made sure the tablets went down and locked them in the room for ten minutes to make sure they didn't spit them out, but it would seem a mere mortal like me is no match for them. The annoying thing is I don't know which cat it was, so I'll have to redo them both

I've done some googling and see Drontal do a spot-on version, Droncit, but it only does tapeworm. This isn't such a big deal as the others are covered by the Advocate anyway, but are there any good spot-ons that do all types of worms? We only give Advocate every three months in the winter because they don't hunt as much, so if I can find an all-round wormer I can alternate the two to make sure they're always covered.

When are they going to hurry up and invent a super duper covers-everything spot-on? Advocate is 99% of the way there except for the tapeworm. Unless I'm being really dim and they already have (very possible)

Thanks bella! The cats shall not win

I see it's pescription only so I'll go into the vets tomorrow and get a price off them for a bulk purchase - that'll top off my NatureDiet wall nicely!
