How often should cats be dewormed?

Cats should be dewormed once every 1-3 months. Cat deworming is divided into external and internal deworming. External deworming is done once a month, while internal deworming only needs to be done once every 3 months. Usually cats can start external deworming when they are one month old, while internal deworming It is best to carry out deworming after the cat is 3 months old to prevent the deworming medicine from causing damage to the cat’s gastrointestinal tract.
