Cat worming schedule in Australia

Introduction

A clear worming schedule keeps your cat and household safer. Kittens need more frequent doses while they grow. Adults shift to a steady routine. Heartworm is a separate mosquito-borne risk for cats and needs its own prevention.

Kitten worming schedule 

• Every 2 weeks until 12 weeks of age.

• Monthly from 12 weeks to 6 months.

• Then move to the adult routine below.
  Always follow your product’s label and ask your vet if your kitten is underweight or unwell.

Adult cat worming

Most adult cats need intestinal worming every 3 months. Keep to schedule in homes with children, raw diets, or hunting cats. Heartworm prevention is separate unless your product includes heartworm cover.

Heartworm prevention for cats

Heartworm disease is less common in cats than dogs, but a single worm can cause serious illness. Use a monthly product that lists heartworm prevention on the label and dose year-round.

Simple reminders that work

• Add a repeating phone calendar event on dose day.

• Keep the box near your cat’s food spot as a visual cue.

• One person in the household should be the “dose captain.”

Safety you should always check (cats)

• Use cat-only products on cats. Never apply a dog product to a cat.

• Choose the correct weight band and check minimum age.

• Do not stack wormers unless your vet tells you to.

• Read labels carefully for kittens, breeding, pregnant, or lactating cats.
