Worming treatments for dogs and cats
We stock a genuine range of worming treatments for dogs and cats — tablets, spot-on treatments and granules from Beaphar, Bob Martin, Johnson's and Frontline — covering different life stages and application styles rather than one single format. Here's how the formats differ and how to pick between them.
Tablets, spot-on and granules
Tablets are the most common format and are usually hidden in food or given directly, while a spot-on treatment is applied to the skin, typically at the back of the neck, which suits a cat or dog that won't take a tablet willingly. Granules, like Johnson's easy wormer, are designed to be mixed into food without a cat noticing at all.
Which format works best usually comes down to your pet rather than any one being universally better — a determined tablet-refuser is often much easier to treat with a spot-on or granules than with repeated attempts at a pill.
Choosing the right product
Products are formulated differently for dogs and cats, and often by size or age too, so check the packaging carefully for which species, weight range and life stage a product is intended for rather than assuming one product covers every pet in the house.
How often worming is needed varies by product, lifestyle and where you live, so follow the guidance on the pack and speak to your vet if you're unsure how often your particular dog or cat needs treating.

Common questions
- How do I know which wormer is right for my pet?
- Check the packaging for the species, weight range and life stage it's formulated for, since dog and cat products are not interchangeable. If you're at all unsure, your vet can advise on the right product and schedule for your pet.
- What's the difference between a spot-on and a tablet wormer?
- A spot-on is applied to the skin, usually at the back of the neck, while a tablet is given orally, often hidden in food. Spot-on treatments tend to suit pets that refuse tablets, while tablets can be more precise for dosing by weight.
- How often should I worm my dog or cat?
- This varies by product and by your pet's lifestyle — how much they roam, hunt or mix with other animals all play a part. Follow the schedule stated on the specific product, and ask your vet if you're not sure what's right for your pet.
- Can I use a dog wormer on a cat, or the other way round?
- No, dog and cat worming products are formulated differently and should never be swapped between species. Always use a product labelled for the right species and check the weight range before giving it.
