How do I hide it from my cat? I put it in his wet food and he will not eat it at all and there is no way of putting it down his throat either..

Answer by Ahazlnutrose • Jul 10, 2025
Perhaps crush it to a powder and put it in a lickable treat

Does it kill the worms or just makes them exit the cats bottom

Answer by Chewy • Jul 02, 2025
This dewormer (containing praziquantel) is designed to kill and remove tapeworms from cats. The tapeworms are typically digested and not visible in the feces, but the treatment is effective at eliminating the parasite.

Are there any types of ticks this does NOT cover?

Answer by Chewy • Apr 08, 2025
This treatment is intended for common tapeworms. It does not cover any ticks.

Can this be used for kittens?

Answer by Chewy • Jun 27, 2022
This treatment is suitable for kittens over 6 weeks of age.

No more worm chips

I'm involved in animal rescue and often times the cats we get have worms and need to be treated. I have used Safeguard for goats in the past (as it can be used for cats and is a liquid that must be given at least 3 x. and make sure the dosing is correct, and it doesn't always do the job.) I have one feral cat who I can barely touch, so there was no way, after giving her the first dose, would she allow me to catch her again. So I cam to Chewy for this product. I caught her, dosed her, and no more wormy chips in her secret hide-away. It worked fast and her tummy is no longer swollen with worms. Glad I found this product!

My new kitty Shadow, it turned out, had a tapeworm when we adopted him. I was so upset that this poor baby had been through so much in his first 6 months of his life already. I did my research, spoke to his vet, and placed my order. Within 24 hours of giving him the medication, I could already tell that it was working. He's now at 100% energy and his appetite is what it should be for a growing kitten. The side effects were minimal, a little lethargy & nausea in the first 48 hours. But after that, he was visibly getting better.

Inexpensive Wormer That Works

The vet's treatment for tapeworms was not effective for my cat, so I was happy to find these pills with good reviews. I ground up and mixed 1-1/4 pills for my 11-pound 14-year-old cat and he did eat it mixed with some very tasty cat food, although he was suspicious. Just as with the vet's treatment, the only side effect was that he was very itchy all over for several hours. It's now been two weeks with no signs of tapeworms and he seems to have put on a bit of weight.

BUT....to avoid this issue from recurring, at the same moment of deworming them, keep an UPDATED Flea Collar on them AT ALL TIMES. (And get a Flea Collar that SPECIFICALLY kills not only adult fleas, but Flea EGGS as well!!)

I’m just frustrated because after using this treatment recommended by his vet, I still see the tapeworms. I don’t know how to get rid of it and I can’t afford a regular treatment at the vet so I have to purchase it again I suppose.

I tried to crush and give it to my cat hidden in food and he refused. I will have to try again by sticking them in his throat. The pills are large and I will have to break them in halves, to give him the proper dose.

My stray cat I took in had a slightly round tummy and I suspected worms. I found a tapeworm section on the ground and she was sitting and adjusting strangely. After giving this pill I believe I found a dead tapeworm in her stool. I would still talk to the vet, because this pill presumably would not work for other worms a cat may have. Such as roundworm which is contagious to humans.

Dewormer for Tapeworm (Elanco)

Only had to use one pill, my husband mention crushes it up and he mix it with Spottie cat food and add water. In roughly two days spottie was feeling better.

Feral necessity

What can I say besides it worked! Living out in the country, we have 3 outdoor kitties that keep down the mice, gophers, etc. But, given that, they will get worms

What can I say besides it worked! Living out in the country, we have 3 outdoor kitties that keep down the mice, gophers, etc. But, given that, they will get worms and this does the trick.
