Profender is the first-ever, topical dewormer used to treat and control intestinal parasites in cats, such as hookworms, tapeworms and roundworms. Profender is easy to use, safe and effective, usually works in a single-dose capacity.

For: Cats over 8 weeks of age

Benefits:

• Kills hookworms, tapeworms and roundworms
• Fast-acting, powerful topical treatment
• One-time application
• Safe and effective

Profender works by using the time-tested active ingredient praziquantel and a unique compound called emodepside to eradicate intestinal parasites. Once Profender encounters your cat's skin, it rapidly enters the bloodstream and travels to the intestines, controlling and eliminating unwanted parasites.

Cautions:
Not for use on kittens under 8 weeks old or those under 1.1 lbs. and safe use in breeding, pregnant, or lactating pets has not been determined. Use with caution in sick or debilitated cats. Keep out of reach of children, and to prevent accidental ingestion of the product, children should not come in contact with the application site for 24 hours while the product is being absorbed. Pregnant women or women who may become pregnant should avoid direct contact with, or wear disposable gloves when applying this product.

Manufacturer: Bayer Animal Health

• Apply only once to your pet's skin and use the entire contents for one application.
• Twist cap off the appropriate tube of Profender based on your cat's weight and part your pet's hair at the base of the neck until your cat's skin is visible (be sure your cat's skin is dry).
• Place the tip of the tube on the exposed skin and squeeze entire contents directly onto your cat's skin. Lift tube away from the skin before releasing pressure on the tube.

I've use this on all three cats with success.Making sure cats are healthy and cleared for any risks.So far this produt is superior to any wormers on the market. Easy to use and effective.I would hesitate to use any medication on debilitated or extremely young or old cats without the sound advice of a veterinarian.

PROFENDER WORKS GREAT! IT'S EASY TO APPLY--ON THE NECK LIKE FLEA MEDS. NO STRUGGLING WITH YOUR KITTY. KILLS THREE DIFFERENT TYPES OF WORMS WITH ONLY ONE DOSAGE. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Profender seemed to work rather quickly for my kitties, bringing them relief right away. What's more, it's so much easier to use than a pill. And easier on kitty!!! I would definitely use again.

The best wormer for cats that I have tried. Our cats are always catching field mice and rats and we have to be diligent to keep them safe. Profender does the job, quickly and effectively.

After the Profender had been applied, my cat's tapeworm segments stopped appearing within a week. The product is easy to apply and obviously effective, although rather messy for a couple of days. My veterinarian recommended it and I'm glad I followed her advice.
