Not as good as deworming pills.
From UndisclosedComments about profenderThe first time I used it, it seemed to help my cat. One Vet told me it works as well as the oral deworming, but another Vet said that her experience is that it's not as good as the oral. I'm going back to the pills, though difficult to give to our cat! My cat started to lose a little weight again, which is often a sign he exhibits when he needs deworming (for him, several times a year!) -
Easy to Use for Worming
From UndisclosedComments about profenderEasy to use for a cat who is hard to pill, I just put this on his neck for worming. -
Saves Your Fingers
From UndisclosedComments about profenderWe use this on our cat Mandu and our front porch semi-feral cat Oscar. It is the easiest way to deworm a cat. If anyone has tried to do this with a pill and still has all of their fingers, this product is SO much easier and works just as well. No side effects were noted (other than two cats being totally hacked off at me). -
If needed, definitely would purchase.
From undisclosedComments about profenderTopical worm treatment, it was just great.
