Key Health Benefits & Tapeworm Protection

Tapeworms are a very common intestinal parasite in cats, often contracted when a cat swallows an infected flea during grooming, or from hunting small rodents. This spot-on treatment provides a vital line of defence:

• Stress-Free Application: Say goodbye to scratched arms and spat-out pills. The topical liquid is quickly absorbed through the skin, making worming a calm, hassle-free experience.
• Broad-Spectrum Tapeworm Control: Effectively targets and eliminates multiple species of tapeworms, including the common flea tapeworm (Dipylidium caninum) and the mouse tapeworm (Taenia taeniaeformis).
• Fast-Acting Relief: Praziquantel enters the bloodstream rapidly to paralyze and destroy the tapeworms in your cat's intestinal tract, helping your pet feel better quickly.

Safe Usage Guidelines & Dosage Instructions

• Crucial Warning: For external topical use only. Do not administer orally.
• Application Method: Part the fur at the back of your cat's neck (at the base of the skull) until the skin is visible. Squeeze the tube firmly to apply the liquid directly onto the bare skin. Apply where the cat cannot turn around and lick it off.
• Dosage by Weight:
  • Cats weighing 1.0kg to 2.5kg: Apply 1 tube
  • Cats weighing 2.5kg to 5.0kg: Apply 2 tubes
  • Cats weighing over 5.0kg: Apply 2 tubes, plus an additional 1 tube for every extra 2.5kg of body weight.
• Post-Application Care: Do not stroke or groom the application area until it is completely dry (typically about 1 hour). If you have multiple cats, separate them temporarily to prevent them from grooming each other.
• Routine Treatment: For effective ongoing protection, it is recommended to worm your cat every 3 months.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this on a young kitten?

Yes, provided the kitten has been weighed and is at least 1kg in body weight. Never guess your cat's weight when administering medication; always weigh them accurately first.

Does this treatment kill roundworms?

No. Johnson's Easy Spot-On Wormer contains Praziquantel, which specifically targets tapeworms. If you need to treat roundworms, you will need a broad-spectrum wormer or a specific roundworm treatment.

My cat has fleas, should I use this?

Yes! Fleas carry tapeworm eggs. When your cat grooms themselves and swallows a flea, they ingest the tapeworm. If your cat currently has a flea infestation, it is highly recommended to treat them for tapeworms with this product, alongside a dedicated flea control treatment.
