Can all intestinal parasites be prevented?

I'm almost scared to say yes. But with domestic cats and the most common parasites that we see, yeah. I'm going to say yes. With the parasiticide and de-wormers and preventative medications on the market nowadays, usually with domestic animals and cats. in particular—if they have intestinal worms, there's going to be a drug that can treat it right now. So yes, that would be my somewhat short answer.

That's a tough question. Yes and no. For the most part, if we are cautious about our deworming protocols and exposure, then I would say we can prevent it in almost all cases. That being said, cats are cats. They get into things. They don't always follow the rules. And so there are going to be situations where they catch a mouse that we're not aware of or drink out of something outside that we're not aware of, and they could come up with intestinal parasites.

Yes, we can prevent all internal parasites by determining their type, treating them, and setting you up on a regular preventative program.

Most of them can. Having a cat on an effective flea prevention, will work against the tapeworm burden that they can have. Unfortunately, if your cat's a hunter, you can't really 100% prevent them from ingesting fleas from rodents and related things that they may come into contact with. As far as other types of preventions such as flea, tick and heartworm preventions go, we do have some intestinal parasite control as well.

We can, with reasonable confidence, prevent most parasites. The problem with saying we can prevent them altogether is that environmental exposure can sometimes be very high, and even with monthly deworming, you can still end up with parasites. It's hard to deworm for every potential parasite. By following the next steps, we can reasonably and confidently prevent most parasites in cats: ensuring that your indoor cat's litter box is cleaned at least once a day to ensure that the feces is picked up because that's commonly how parasites are transmitted. Make sure your pet is on monthly broad-spectrum parasite prevention year-round, especially if you're in Fort-Worth, Texas, or in a similar climate. Fleas transmit some intestinal parasites, so ensuring that your pets are on good flea prevention will help to avoid that particular parasite called tapeworms. Following these steps can greatly reduce the chance of your pet getting intestinal parasites.

Intestinal parasites can be prevented. There are effective preventatives on the market that can be administered to your cat either monthly or every three months to help prevent them from getting intestinal parasites.

Yes, all intestinal parasites can be prevented.
