I use Aristopet All Wormer to keep Shirley safe, healthy, and happy. It’s easy, effective, and essential.
When I brought home my little black kitten Shirley, I knew I was signing up for cuddles, chaos, and a whole lot of responsibility. She’s got green eyes, a sassy personality, and a habit of knocking things off shelves—but she’s also my heart. And keeping her healthy is non-negotiable.
One of the first things I learned? Worming isn’t optional—it’s essential.
Why Worming Matters for Kittens
Kittens are curious by nature. They lick, sniff, nibble, and explore everything. That means they’re constantly exposed to parasites—especially gastrointestinal worms like roundworm, hookworm, and tapeworm. These aren’t just gross—they can cause serious health issues like:
- Diarrhea
- Vomiting
- Weight loss
- Poor coat condition
- Even long-term organ damage can occur if left untreated
And here’s the kicker: worms can be passed to humans, especially kids. So worming isn’t just about protecting your pet—it’s about protecting your household.
What I Use: Aristopet All Wormer Tablets
After doing my research (and chatting with my vet), I landed on Aristopet All Wormer Tablets for Cats and Kittens. It’s a broad-spectrum treatment that targets:
- Roundworm (Toxocara cati, Toxascaris leonina)
- Hookworm (Ancylostoma tubaefome, Ancylostoma braziliense, Uncinaria stenocephala)
- Tapeworm (Dipylidium caninum, Taenia taeniaeformis)
Each tablet contains 25mg Praziquantel and 100mg Pyrantel Embonate, which work together to eliminate existing infections and prevent new ones.
How I Use It in Shirley’s Routine
Worming isn’t a one-and-done thing. Kittens need regular doses to stay protected. Here’s what I follow:
- 6, 8, and 12 weeks of age: individual doses
- After 3 months: one dose every 3 months
- For breeding queens: before mating, 10 days before kittening, and again 2 and 4 weeks after
I give Shirley her tablet by mouth, usually crushed and mixed into a little treat. She’s picky, but she’ll do anything for grilled chicken!
Signs Your Kitten Might Have Worms
Even if your kitten looks healthy, worms can be hiding. Watch for:
- Bloated belly
- Scooting or licking around the rear
- Visible worms in stool
- Lethargy or poor appetite
If you notice any of these, chat with your vet and start treatment ASAP.
Why I Trust Aristopet
Aside from being vet-recommended, Aristopet is:
- Easy to dose
- Affordable
- Available in 2- and 4-tablet packs
- Backed by Australian standards
I order mine from VetSupply because they offer fast shipping and auto-delivery options—so I never forget a dose.
Final Thoughts
Looking after a kitten means more than cuddles and cute photos. It means being proactive about their health. Worming is one of the simplest ways to protect your pet—and Aristopet makes it easy.
Shirley’s more than a pet—she’s family. And keeping her safe is part of the deal.
