Spot‐on protects cats against intestinal worms

The worming treatment combines convenient topical administration with broad-spectrum protection against key intestinal worms, the company says. Categorised as an NFA-VPS medicine (a non-food animal product that can be supplied by a veterinarian, pharmacist or suitably qualified person [SQP]), it contains emodepside and praziquantel to target roundworms, hookworms and tapeworms. Krka adds that it provides retail SQPs with a practical option for cat owners who find giving oral worming treatments difficult. The spot-on is available in three dosage strengths for cats of different weights and can be used in cats and kittens from eight weeks of age (weighing at least 0.5 kg), as well as during pregnancy and lactation. Retail SQPs should refer to and direct pet owners to the product packaging and leaflet for dosing information, contraindications and precautions. Krka also provides point-of-sale materials to support in-store displays, raise awareness of parasite control and help teams discuss suitable treatment options with customers.
