Profender for cats is a topical treatment for mixed parasitic infections caused by roundworms, lungworms, hookworms, and tapeworms. A single application is enough for killing and preventing infestations from various kinds of intestinal worms. It is the first ever spot-on treatment formulated for killing, controlling and preventing intestinal worms in cats. With regular use, Profender reduces the risk of transmission of worms to your family by reducing egg shedding by cats. It is also safe to use during pregnancy and lactation, and is the first cat product on the Australian market that prevents transmission of roundworms from a queen to her kittens via the milk. It is a potent and trusted allwormer for cats.
Working Method
Profender for cats contains Praziquantel and Emodepside as the active ingredients. They pass through the cat's skin, entering the bloodstream and into the intestines. The anthelminthic properties of Emodepside kill mature, immature and larval stages of roundworms, hookworms, and lungworms. On the other hand, Praziquantel helps in erasing adult tapeworms. These ingredients destroy worms in a single application and can be re-applied after 30 days.
Ideally, the minimum dosage contains 3 mg emodepside/kg bodyweight and 12 mg praziquantel/kg bodyweight that equals to 0.14 ml Profender/kg bodyweight of the cat.
Profender for cats is available in three packs categorized as per the weight of cats. Weigh your pet and buy the pack suitable for your cat. Check dosage table for details.
For the application, create a bare skin spot at the base of the skull of the cat. Part the fur at this point so that you can apply the solution.
Place the tip of the open tube on the spot and squeeze out the entire content. Allow the application site to be dry and do not touch that area until it is dry.
