Deworming Reminder Tool – Dog & Cat Deworming Schedule Calculator
Use our deworming reminder tool to calculate when your pet's next deworming is due. Enter basic information to view recommended schedules for puppies, kittens, and adult pets based on age and risk factors, then get personalized reminders.
How Deworming Reminder Tool Works
The calculator uses veterinary guidelines to determine deworming intervals based on your pet's age category and last treatment date. Puppies and kittens require deworming every 2 weeks from 2-12 weeks, then monthly until 6 months. Adult pets typically need treatment every 3 months, with monthly protocols for high-risk lifestyles. The tool generates the next due date and a reference schedule.
Why Staying on Schedule Matters
Intestinal parasites can cause digestive issues, weight loss, anemia, and zoonotic infections. Consistent deworming helps protect your pet and family members. Puppies and kittens can be born with worms, so early and frequent treatment is essential.
