Oral Cat Heartworm Prevention
It is easier than ever to ensure your feline friend is never at risk of contracting heartworm disease. One tasty, meaty treat each month provides continual protection. Heartworm pills are currently available in two branded forms. As more cat owners consume preventatives we should gawk a growth in cheaper, equally effective generic heartworm medicines as has already happened within the canine pet meds sector.
Heartguard is the leading oral cat heartworm medicine. Coming in the form of a chewable meaty treat most cats take the treatment easily. The active ingredient to fight the parasites is Ivermectin. This chemical is widely used by vets to treat heartworm positive dogs as it is such an effective killer of larvae and adults, as well as being able to halt reproductive behavior in heartworms. Extinct in tiny quantities within cat heartworm pills the product has an extremely agreeable safety record and is under continual testing as it is so widely used.
The alternative for cat owners looking for oral preventatives is Interceptor. This note utilize Milbemycin oxime a faster killer of heartworm adults but not so respectable if used at intervals of more than a month.
Both products provide intestinal parasite control, destroying roundworm and hookworms too, so no conventional deworming treatment is needed.
