Diatomaceous earth is the safest way to do it without pesticides and poisons. Terrible advice on this video. Very disappointing.
Pill pockets have worked well for Drontal pills for me.
Diatomaceous earth does work, and so does garlic. Vets tell you garlic is toxic, not true. I’ve had cats for many years and give them garlic drop’s during flea season.
I really enjoyed watching you. Watched it several times and will try dontral. Best Wishes 😎
HEllo I take care of a ferral cat which lives outside by my office. I want to use the Safe guard dewormer liquid form(fenbendazole) sold for goats to use on this cat. Was going to put it in some wet cat food for her. you mentioned in the video you have to dose it multiple times? The cat is smaller under 10 pounds. I did read the back of the Amazon sold product and it says for a 25 pound goat to use 0.6ml…so maybe half of that dose to use on this cat since she is smaller…I just want to know if I need to give her a repeated dosage. I plan to buy the product and maybe there will be more instructions inside the packaging..all I could see was the back label that said 0.6ml for 25 pounder. thank you for the great video and for help with the pets and yes I know this fenbendazole does not treat tapeworms…I just wanted to give her the broad spectrum protection since she is a wild cat. thank u sterling

Second video in on your Cats Youtube site and it’s going to my #1site to keep watching!
So very helpful. Thank you! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I’ve never needed to deworm my cats. I’ll call the vet’s office this week and ask if it is something we should be doing. They’ve never needed it, they are indoor exclusively other than the catio we have built for them on our deck. This is important information to have and I will call the vets office and ask if this is something we should be doing.
Pure gold! Thank you SO much!!!
You are so knowledgeable. Very well done video. Thank you.
2:44 WARNING!
Incase you want to use Safe-Guard Dewormer.
I gave 3 gram pouches of the dewormer safeguard medication to my cat (he weighs about 12 lbs and was in the weight range on the label). It said to give your pet (dog) 1 pouch per day, for 3 days in a row. I gave my cat the last pouch on the third day and later on that night, my cat was in great pain for 10 minutes. He was "howl meowing" and was hiding in the back room of my home. He was panting a lot and I got so scared. My suggestion is DON’T use this for your CAT, just incase.
Use DE
Good stuff for the most part, but the one thing you should not do is promote Hartz. They use pure pesticides that kill cats and dogs
Again..HARTZ KILLS CATS AND DOGS!!!
Thank you for all of the great information.
Ive always used millbemax
Thank you
great video, more video please
Food grade diatomeceous earth is probably the most sustainable option for most people IN THE ABSENSE of affordable vet care. Near me its 13 dollars in canadian tire
Hahaha decatters funny
Would you suggest Diatomaceous Earth (Food Grade). About a teaspoon mixed in their wet food once a day for a week
The safest deworming on the market for pets AND humans is Fenbendazole. There are tons of doctor reports saying that Fenbendazole along with Ivermectin is curing cancers in humans and pets. Both are parasitic, meaning most illnesses including cancer are caused by parasites. My hubby has stage 4 metastatic melanoma, diagnosed in 2016, and doing well. He takes Mebendazole (human form of Fenbendazole) and other supplements from an integrative oncologist who literally saved his life after 6 months of chemo was killing him. You cannot trust most oncologists or vets to cure you or your oets from deadly cancers.
Interesting. Our vet five Panacur for tape worms.
Down vote for not recommending excellent natural remedie diatomaceous….
I wish I was a cat, and she was my owner …meaoow 😺
Went to the vet to get my cats dewormed about a month ago and they said it should get rid of them in about a week, long story short they still have worms and shows no sign of ending any time soon.
Amazon is practically a monopoly. Please stop giving prices "at amazon" all the time. That goes for everybody else. Wake up America.
I would love a kitty litter video for cats with sensitive paws! ❤
Gday mate hope all is well, love your videos I’ve been using advocate on my 1 and only rescue kitty cat his over 6kg but he has a dog window and enclosure so want to keep him safe from heartworm flea’s I also made sure he had his aids vaccination just in case a cat does come to his enclosure and sneezes or hiss at him God 4bid wouldn’t want him 2get feline aids😿😢
So I’m unsure weather 2 get advocate or go revolution/ revolution plus?
He is 10 yrs old I’ve been blessed 2 have him since 2015 he was a stray living on a bin across the road the lady would feed the strays.
It was odd because he was desexed not microchip he is 2 Mr now but he either ran away,got lost or sadly dumped.
If dumped totally my gain im SOOOOOO lucky 2 have hom very very blessed🙏😻🐾❤️
But in Australia can buy revolution over counter at animal places.
So do you think advocate isn’t good 4 my kitty revolution better?
Thanks soooo very very much in advance for your reply I really really appreciate your time and help.
I want to make sure my fur baby has the best one that’s PPUUUUURRRFECT 4 him😻🙏🐾❤️
🇦🇺🐨🦘🐾💚💛🙏
Awesome video 😎
I appreciate this information, I’ve been searching and this is the most informative i have found.
Why the hell do we need to go to a vet to get dewormers. With vet bills going thru the roof DUE TO THE ECONOMY, so many people are forgoing owning any pet and/or DUMPING their dogs and cats.
Can you do a video about brushing cats teeth? My 5 year old cat hates having her teeth brushed and my kitten just wants to lick/bite the brush. Would also love to know if the sticks and water additives actually work and are healthy/safe.

9:44 Yep these people that keep saying to use d.e. for internal parasites it does not work! My cat doesnt have fleas but we live in apartments so its possible she picked one up and that’s all it takes but no d.e. doesn’t work people.
Hi there, what about for a pregnant cat? Drontal Tablets for Cats & Kittens, 2-16 lbs, 1 Tablet
Diatomaceous earth is all ya need…FYI fleas give your pets worms 🤬50yrs and the vet tec told me this because they have flea meds that dont kill the worms wtf even make or sell that crap? Its a damn shame the pharmaceutical companies actually make the vet’s push their crap just like the Dr’s. Legal drug pushers that are ruining waaaay more lives than any street drug dealer and the cartels make maaaadd money imagine what they are making. Wonder how many generations it would take to actually count it all🤬💪🤬💪🤬💪🤬🤬💪🤬💪🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🐍🐍🐍🐍🤬🤬🤬🤬

Is advantage plus as good as revolution plus?
My cat’s an indoor/outdoor cat and I’ve been using a monthly flea treatment which also treats roundworm, hookworm, ear mites, lungworm and prevention of heartworm. I’m in Australia, so I don’t know if things are all that different, but I’m hoping this is a good basis. Thankfully she’s never had any problems and I make sure I give it to her each month. Just wondering on your opinion on "over the counter", store bought type treatments like these? Thanks for all the education you keep bringing us!😊😺
How about Ivermectin?
Drontal can be purchased without a prescription if you get the 50 pill bottle. Last time I bought it it was about $200, but if you have multiple cats it’s well worth it.
Diatomacious Earth works
No speghetti for dinner tonight.
Your not a vet who gives a shit about ur recommendations?
I agree 100percent. My friend had 4th stage lung caner took Ivermectin with her Tino and his cancer free though all of their family even not to take the dewormer I mean come on people she was going to die if it didn’t work either way she’s not out anything and it didn’t even make her sick she didn’t throw up or nothing
Do you recommend using Pyrantel Pamoate to treat worms in cats?
I purchased the Drontal with both dewormers without an RX, from 1800petmeds.
What is a good broad spectrum dewormer? I am taking care of strays.. and the only vet they have seen was to get spayed and neutered. They gave them their vaccines but didn’t deworm them. Its not cheap, and I am trying to help these cats without a vet.. they are way too expensive
I don’t know how anyone can trust Hartz with the number of pets their products have killed. I’m shocked to find them in your video.
PSA YOU NEED A PRESCRIPTION FOR THEASE can you make a vid for non rich people ????????
