  1. 3–12weeks
    Step 1

    Every two weeks

    Deworm every two weeks from 3 to 12 weeks of age. Kittens can acquire worms through their mother's milk or before birth.

    Every 2 weeksYoung kittens
  2. 12weeks
    Step 2

    Every four weeks

    From 12 weeks, deworm every four weeks until 6 months of age.

    Every 4 weeksGrowing kittens
  3. 6months+
    Step 3

    Every three months

    From 6 months, continue deworming every three months through adulthood. Dewormers treat worms that have been picked up since the previous dose. There is no preventative for intestinal worms.

Why it matters

Worms are not always easy to spot

Cats can have intestinal worms without obvious signs. Regular treatment helps manage worms that your cat may have picked up.

What cat owners should know

  • How cats get wormsKittens can acquire worms through their mother's milk or before birth. Cats can also pick up worm larvae by swallowing fleas while grooming or through contaminated faeces.
  • Roundworms and tapewormsRoundworms are the most common type. Tapeworms are long, flat worms that attach to the gut wall.
  • They can pass to peopleRoundworms and tapeworms are zoonotic, meaning they can pass to humans. Young children are especially at risk.
  • Treatment depends on size and ageKittens under 0.5kg and/or under 6 weeks may use Fenbenol/Panacur liquid or paste for three consecutive days. Milpro Kitten is for kittens from 0.5–2kg, and Milpro Cat is for cats over 2kg.

Your vet should confirm the product and dose for your cat. Do not give cats a dog dewormer or parasite treatment.

Why PetsFirst

What to expect from a cat deworming visit

The dose should match your cat, so weight and age matter.

Weight checked

The appropriate treatment depends on your cat's size and age.

Product explained

Your vet can explain which product is appropriate and how it should be given.

Dates kept on record

Keep track of when your cat was treated so the next dose is not missed.

Fleas matter too

Fleas can transmit tapeworms, so ask about external parasite control as well.

Signs your cat may have worms

Worms can contribute to gastrointestinal problems, anaemia, malnutrition and poor growth, particularly in kittens.

  • Worm segments
  • Diarrhoea or vomiting
  • Weight loss
  • Poor growth

Alia Oumeish, a PetsFirst pet parent in DubaiAlia OumeishCat parent · Google reviewThe staff were so friendly, and very kind and caring to my little cat. They did an excellent job and kept both me and Leo comfortable. Would definitely recommend! We dealt with Dr. Chinnu, Dr. Lamiya, Arpita, and Emmanuel, who gave Leo the best haircut he's ever had — all incredibly lovely.
Rena Medawar, a PetsFirst pet parent in DubaiRena MedawarCat parent · Google reviewExcellent care and kind staff. The team at PetsFirst City Walk treated my cat with so much compassion and professionalism. They took the time to explain everything clearly and made both me and Bella feel at ease. Highly recommended.
Arbina Shaikh, a PetsFirst pet parent in DubaiArbina ShaikhCat parent · Google reviewI've been going to PetsFirst since they opened in City Walk, and honestly I'm beyond satisfied. They take care of my cats so well — the staff even remember the names of each of my four cats whenever we visit. They don't overcharge, and their prices are so reasonable. Super happy with PetsFirst, 10 out of 10.
FAQ

Cat deworming questions, answered

Common questions about deworming cats and kittens.

From 3 to 12 weeks, kittens should be dewormed every two weeks. From 12 weeks to 6 months, every four weeks. From 6 months onwards, continue every three months through adulthood.

Yes. Cats can pick up worms through fleas and kittens can acquire worms from their mother. Indoor cats can still be exposed.

Fenbenol/Panacur liquid or paste is used for kittens under 0.5kg and/or under 6 weeks, Milpro Kitten for cats from 0.5–2kg, and Milpro Cat for cats over 2kg. Your vet should confirm the appropriate product and dose.

Yes. Roundworms and tapeworms are zoonotic. Young children are especially at risk.

No. Dewormers treat worms already picked up, and there is no preventative for intestinal worms. This is why regular treatment is recommended.

External parasite control is a separate part of routine pet care. Fleas can transmit tapeworms, while ticks and ear mites are seen regularly in Dubai.
