Popantel

Trusted worming treatment for cats

Popantel is a broad-spectrum deworming tablet that treats and controls common intestinal worms in cats. It targets roundworm, hookworm, and tapeworm in a single dose. It's a reliable option for regular worm control and helps keep your cat healthy from the inside out.

What Popantel treats

Popantel is effective against the three main types of intestinal worms found in cats: roundworm, hookworm, and tapeworm. It works quickly to remove existing infections and can be used as part of a regular worming schedule to prevent reinfestation.

How to give Popantel

Popantel comes as a small tablet that can be given directly or mixed in food. It's available in weight-specific doses, so make sure you select the right product for your cat's size. Follow the dosage instructions carefully to ensure full effectiveness.

When to use Popantel

Kittens should be wormed every two weeks until 12 weeks of age, then monthly until six months. Adult cats typically require worming every three months. Popantel fits easily into this routine and is safe for kittens over 6 weeks old and 1 kg in weight.

Why choose Popantel?

Popantel is a straightforward, vet-approved worming solution that gets the job done without fuss. It's a great choice if you want to treat worms separately from flea or heartworm products, or if your cat prefers tablets over spot-ons.
