Yes, you can deworm your cat yourself without a vet with over-the-counter worming treatment. Most dewormers will kill all common intestinal worms that might be bothering your pet and are an affordable option.

A good time to use over-the-counter dewormers is if your pet is otherwise healthy, the worms are obvious (in their stool) and the product is clearly suitable for cats with the correct dose. It's crucial to use worming treatment that is tailored for cats with a dose that matches their weight, like the Itch Wormer Tablets for Cats which are delivered straight to your door, made just for your pet.

Visit your vet if your trying to treat a kitten who is under 8 weeks old or if your cat is pregnant, sick, elderly or underweight. Or if your cat is showing severe symptoms of worms (vomiting, diarrhoea, weight loss, anemia) take them to your vet immediately.
