Johnson’s Cat One Dose Wormer 2 Tablets is an over-the-counter, veterinary-strength deworming treatment designed to eradicate the most common intestinal parasites in felines. Available readily without a prescription throughout the UK, it provides a fast-acting, single-dose solution for broad-spectrum worm control.
Active Ingredients & How It Works
Each film-coated tablet delivers a dual-action formula targeting different parasite types simultaneously:
- Pyrantel Embonate: Paralyses and eliminates gastrointestinal roundworms (Toxocara cati, Toxascaris leonina).
- Praziquantel: Effectively destroys common tapeworms (Dipylidium caninum, Taenia taeniaeformis).
Key Features & Administration
- Target Audience: Suitable for adult cats and young kittens from 6 weeks of age weighing at least 1kg.
- Palatability: The small, film-coated tablets are meat-flavoured to make swallowing and acceptance easier for the animal.
- How to Administer: Tablets can be placed directly into the cat’s mouth. Alternatively, they can be crushed and thoroughly disguised inside a portion of tasty wet food.
- Routine Frequency: Veterinary guidelines generally recommend routine deworming 3 to 4 times a year (every 3 months). Outdoor cats or proficient hunters may require more frequent monthly dosing during peak hunting seasons.
⚖️ Dosage Guide by Weight
The product uses a weight-based dosing system. Tablets feature a score line and can be halved to accurately match your cat’s weight profile. Refer to the product packaging for the specific tablet-to-weight ratio to ensure correct administration.
⚠️ Safety Precautions
- Pregnancy: Do not use this medication on pregnant queens. It is, however, considered safe for use during lactation.
- Minimum Age/Weight: Avoid treating any kitten under 6 weeks old or those weighing under 1kg.
- Flea Control: Because tapeworms are frequently transmitted via fleas, you should pair this treatment with a regular flea preventative to stop re-infestation
