Parasites

100% Natural Support for Symptoms of Parasites in Cats

Intestinal parasites can damage your cat’s digestive tract and interfere with the absorption of essential nutrients. These parasites are often passed through eggs in feces or directly to kittens in utero or through their mother’s milk.

Types of Parasites That Infect Cats

• Roundworms—The most common intestinal parasite affecting cats.
  • The roundworm larvae if ingested by humans can invade sensitive organs such as the eye or the developing fetus.
• Hookworms—Hookworms can also infect humans that have a weaker immune system causing abdominal pain and enteritis.
• Heartworms—The most serious parasite that may lead to heart disease and early death.
  • Heartworms are transmitted through mosquito bites and live in the major blood vessels of the lungs causing severe inflammation.
• Whipworms—Cats contract whipworms through soil, and feces.
• Tapeworm—Cats contract tapeworms by eating fleas.
