In addition, worms can be passed from cats to people, so it's important to act quickly if you find out that your cat has them. For your own health as well as the health of your sick cat!
Protecting cats and humans from these unwanted guests should be a pet parent's primary priority. Cleaning your home thoroughly is essential to preventing re-infestation.
As a veterinarian, I will provide you a step-by-step instruction to cat worm removal in your home. I welcome your comments if I missed anything important! Let's begin.
Give the house a good cleaning to start getting rid of the worms. Make sure you use a vacuum that has strong suction so it can pick up dirt and other things from all over the house.
After vacuuming, use a good house cleaner to kill worms and parasites. Products including hydrogen peroxide, quaternary ammonium compounds.
Worm eggs can live in the environment for up to a few weeks, so you need to wash your cat's furniture, food bowls, and toys every day.
Don’t forget the litter box when you’re tidying up your house! Discard the contents of it and clean with a mild cleaner, rinsing and drying completely.
Keep clean to avoid re-infestation. Weekly carpet and furniture vacuuming and household sanitization will keep bugs away.
