About this product

What is Drontal for Cats?

Drontal is a broad-spectrum dewormer for cats and kittens to treat tapeworms, hookworms, and roundworms. Drontal is sold per tablet.

For:

Cats (weighing more than 1.5 lbs and over 1 month old)

Benefits:

  • Proven to eradicate the most common intestinal parasites
  • An easy single-dose administration. Each tablet is scored for easy breakage.
  • Can be given directly by mouth or in a small amount of food
  • Side effects occur rarely

How does Drontal for Cats work?

Drontal's active ingredients are praziquantel and pyrantel pamoate. Praziquantel works by damaging the parasite's skin internally, so the parasite disintegrates and is removed by the pet's immune system. Pyrantel pamoate is active against hookworms and ascarids and acts as a blocking agent, causing paralysis. This results in the hookworm losing its grip in the intestinal wall and is removed from the pet's system by natural process.

Cautions:

Side effects are rare, but may include loss of appetite, increased salivation, vomiting and diarrhea. Other side effects may also occur. Talk to your veterinarian about any side effect that seems unusual or bothersome to your pet. Drontal tablets are not for use in kittens less than one month old or weighing less than 1.5 pounds.

Brand Name:

Drontal (Bayer)

Generic Name:

Praziquantel and pyrantel pamoate (pra-zee-kwan'-tell)

Kitten took it easily with food
Just gave this to my kitten.. I tried putting it at the back of his throat 3 times!! Wasn’t happening!! He managed to keep spitting it out!! Since he only needed 1/4 pill I put soft food on my finger with the pill in the middle and he gobbled it right down.. I then gave him another tbsp of soft food to wash it all down and he was quite pleased!!!😂😂

Such a great option
Works well and you don’t need a Rx, thank goodness. Used for a random stray cat who kept showing up and needed care but I couldn’t catch him.

Fantastic so far
A note about administering it, imo the comments about not trusting the cat to eat it in food is right. Like u might get lucky and ur cat might be one of those ones who isn't bothered but mine like many cats ... well I gave him 1 right down the hatch, just pilling him. But the other half of one he needed did not go down good and he foamed at the mouth a little and spat it out. I happen to have probiotic capsules for him so I emptied one out and crushed up the half tablet and put it into the capsule and administered that way. No problem! Empty capsules are cheap and it'll take away the taste factor! Even when he took the whole one I could tell by the way he licked his mouth after that it's nasty. Just a thought! Otherwise works great he's been trembling a bit on & off for days waiting on this and since I gave it to him, 0 trembles!
