Whether your cat spends the majority of its time outside or napping on the couch, it is susceptible to intestinal parasites. Although deworming is a common practice in kittens, most owners don’t think about tapeworms, roundworms, and hookworms as their pet matures. Unfortunately, cats never outgrow the dangers of internal parasites.

Deworming your cat is very important

Your cat can be infected any time of the year, not just during the warm-weather months. And remember, even a healthy-looking pet can be harboring worms. If left untreated, intestinal parasites can cause:

• Blood loss
• Malnutrition
• Diarrhea
• Weight loss
• Vomiting
• Anemia
• Death

Fortunately, these types of parasitic infections are generally easy to treat. Find out how to help reduce your cat's risk of parasite infection, talk to your veterinarian about Profender^®. 

Is your cat at risk?

1. Does your cat have fleas or ever had fleas?
2. Do you have more than one pet?
3. Does your pet(s) spend any time outdoors?
4. Does your cat(s) catch rodents or other prey?
5. Have you recently moved to a new home?

If you answered yes to one or more of the above, your cat is at risk.
