How Important are the Deworming Tablets for Cats?
- Thread starter mcis

I think we might need more information. I, personally, have NEVER given my cats any deworming pills. Why do you have them in the first place. I guessing your cat had worms at one time or another? Does he/she go outside? Do you live in an area infested with fleas/ticks/mosquitoes?

The pet told me he should have them every 6 months. Also my previous vets.
Yes he does play outside.
No he doesn't pass the backyard where its a clean environment I believe.
Hmmm.
I getting confused.
Maybe it would be better if we asked you WHICH kind of worm this dewormer is for, then we might be better able to answer your question
Also, didn't your Vet(s) explain to you why they felt it was necessary. If two of them have recommended it, there must be a reason. Perhaps this is for heartworm, which is carried by mosquitoes. Do you live in a heavily infested mosquito area? If your furbaby goes outside, no matter how clean an environment, you probably cannot keep all mosquitoes at bay, can you? I'm just taking wild stabs at why here...probably should just wait until you respond

My vet just went on vacation, but I'll contact our previous clinic where we had it before.
Then again, the vet knows better, right?
