Tapeworm segments look similar to grains of white rice and are visible when stuck in your cat’s hair under the tail or by the back legs or in their poop. It’s not always obvious that your cat has tapeworms, so the best way to identify a problem is through an exam performed by a veterinarian. Use Bayer Tapeworm Dewormer for Cats to treat your pet. Cats' everyday grooming behavior puts them at risk for ingesting fleas, which means a risk of tapeworms. Fleas can carry immature tapeworms, and they are the main source of tapeworm infections in cats. A cat that has been infested by fleas may develop tapeworms. Outdoor cats that hunt small rodents may be at risk of infection from tapeworms as well. In addition to treating with tapeworm dewormer, take steps to control fleas and rodents on the premises in order to prevent reinfection; Otherwise another round of the tapeworm dewormer for cats will be necessary. This is especially true in cases of tapeworms transmitted by fleas where reinfection is almost certain to occur if fleas are not removed from the animal and its environment. Consult your veterinarian for assistance in the diagnosis, treatment and control of parasitism. Keep away from children. ## Features - 3-count bottle of tapeworm dewormer for cats - Easy effective way to remove common tapeworms in cats - Tablets may be crumbled and mixed with food or taken by mouth - Tapeworm Dewormer for Cats will remove the common tapeworms, Dipylidium caninum and Taenia taeniaeformis, from cats and kittens - For use in cats over 6 weeks of age - Easy and effective way to remove common tapeworms from cats ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B019CD4ZDS | | ASIN | B019CD4ZDS | | Age Range Description | All Life Stages | | Allergen Information | Allergen-Free | | Best Sellers Rank | #437 in Pet Supplies ( See Top 100 in Pet Supplies ) #1 in Cat Wormers | | Brand Name | Elanco | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (54,066) | | Date First Available | December 14, 2015 | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00724089113436 | | Included Components | 3 tablets | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Form | Tablets | | Item Type Name | Dewormer | | Item Weight | 23 Milligrams | | Item model number | 85436708 | | Manufacturer | Elanco US Inc | | Manufacturer | Elanco US Inc | | Manufacturer Part Number | 86970740 | | Model Number | 85436708 | | Scent Name | Unscented | | Target Species | Cat | | UPC | 724089113436 | | Unit Count | 3 Count | | Volume | 13 Cubic Inches | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** All Life Stages - **Allergen Information:** Allergen-Free - **Brand:** Elanco - **Global Trade Identification Number:** 00724089113436 - **Item Form:** Tablets - **Item Volume:** 13 Cubic Inches - **Item Weight:** 23 Milligrams - **Scent:** Unscented - **UPC:** 724089113436 - **Unit Count:** 3 Count ## Images ![Elanco Tapeworm Dewormer (praziquantel tablets) for Cats and Kittens 6 Weeks and Older, 3-count - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71xoFDfUIwL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: my cat refuses to eat food with the crushed pill, it tastes bad to her. How do you get the pill in her?** A: MY cat WILL NOT eat his food if pills are crushed in them. He can taste it.. I used to have the WORST time trying to get my stubborn kitty to swallow a pill. It would take me a minimum of an hour (..and numerous scratches) to get a SINGLE pill down his throat ... **UNTIL I watched a YouTube tutorial on how to administer a pill to a cat.. after watching I thought "this will never work with MY cat..", but I tried anyway way and I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT.. It was like a miracle! I got him to take the pill in like 10 seconds! I can TRY to explain it to you, but it's SO MUCH easier if you just watch ther tutorial video of them actually doing it.. 1. place your cat in front of you, cuz they tend to back up to avoid it. 2. Put your finger in btwn their back teeth to enforce them to open their mouth 3. Put a little wet food on the pill so it'll slide down easier 4. Put the pill in the back of their throat & IMMEDIATELY close their mouth, pointing their nose to the ceiling WHILE rubbing their throat in a downward motion.. WATCH THE VIDEOS.. They saved me so much time & energy attempting to administer the pills..(not to mention all the scratches & bites.. lol) Good luck! **Q: How quickly does this kill the tapeworms?** A: Very quickly but it's recommended by my vet to do a second dose 2 weeks later. I have no problems administering pills/capsules of anything if I use, depending on the kitty's preference, chicken, fish, or BACON (most seem to truly love bacon flavor) flavored pill wraps (available as a paste on Amazon!). **Q: I have 2 cats do I have to buy a bottle for each?** A: There are 3 tablets in a bottle. 1/2 tablet for 4 lb or under cat, 1 tablet for 5-11 lb cat, and over 11 lbs 1 & 1/2 tablet. So it depends on the weight of your cats. My cat is medium-small, so I gave him 1. **Q: Do the bottles not come with a protective seal on them?** A: The one i bought from Petco on the box itself did not but the bottle had a foil seal. Be wary if the one off Amazon does not; and two sellers trying to tell us otherwise that they don't come sealed from the factory seems sketch to me! ## Frequently Bought Together - Elanco Tapeworm Dewormer (praziquantel tablets) for Cats and Kittens 6 Weeks and Older, 3-count - PetArmor 7 Way De-Wormer for Dogs, Oral Treatment for Tapeworm, Roundworm & Hookworm in Large Dogs & Puppies (Over 25 lbs), Worm Remover (Praziquantel & Pyrantel Pamoate), 2 Flavored Chewables - Elanco Tapeworm Dewormer (praziquantel tablets) for Dogs, 5 Count (Pack of 1) Praziquantel Tablets for Dogs and Puppies 4 Weeks and Older --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/23741355-elanco-tapeworm-dewormer-praziquantel-tablets-for-cats-and-kittens-6](https://www.desertcart.us/products/23741355-elanco-tapeworm-dewormer-praziquantel-tablets-for-cats-and-kittens-6) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-07-08*
