What is Profender Cat Dewormer?

Profender Cat Dewormer is the first-ever, topical dewormer used to treat and control intestinal parasites in cats, such as hookworms, tapeworms and roundworms. Not only is Profender Cat Dewormer easy to use, safe and effective, it also works in a single-dose capacity so there is no need for that pesky second dose! Profender Cat Dewormer contains a combination of insecticides (emodepside and praziquantel) and requires a prescription from your veterinarian.

For:

Cats (8+ weeks of age, weighing 2.2+ lbs)

Benefits:

  • Kills hookworms, tapeworms and roundworms
  • Fast-acting, powerful topical treatment
  • One-time application in a single dose
  • Safe and effective

How does Profender Cat Dewormer work?

Profender Cat Dewormer works by using the time-tested active ingredient praziquantel and a unique compound called emodepside to eradicate intestinal parasites. Once Profender Cat Dewormer encounters your cat's skin, it rapidly enters the bloodstream and travels to the intestines, controlling and eliminating unwanted parasites.

Cautions:

Not for use on kittens under 8 weeks old or those under 2.2 lbs. and safe use in breeding, pregnant, or lactating pets has not been determined. Use with caution in sick or debilitated cats. Keep out of reach of children, and to prevent accidental ingestion of the product, children should not come in contact with the application site for 24 hours while the product is being absorbed. Pregnant women or women who may become pregnant should avoid direct contact with, or wear disposable gloves when applying this product.
