What about kittens?

Unfortunately parasites love them too!

Their natural curiosity means kittens are ideal hosts to parasites

cat

We all know cats are curious, especially adventurous kittens. We love their enthusiasm for life but sadly these traits can put them at risk of picking up fleas, ticks and worms.

 

Fleas and ticks can lurk in homes and gardens and are picked up as your kitten explores their new environment. As mother cats can pass worms onto their kittens while feeding, your kitten could have been exposed to worms already. As they grow up, they develop typical cat behaviours, such as hunting and grooming, both of which increase their risk of becoming infected with worms.

 

Don’t worry though, these parasites need not hinder your kitten’s development. Ask your vet about the right parasite control for your kitten.
