Why Choose Dronspot Spot On Solution for Large Cats?
Worming your cat is made easy with Dronspot – a spot on application that kills every type of intestinal worm commonly found in UK cats. Fuss-free deworming without tablets, gives you peace of mind that you are helping keep worms at bay from your pet and family.
Did you know intestinal worms are a common problem in cats? Many cats show little, if any, signs of infection. Left untreated worms steal important nutrients from your cat and can have serious health complications for you and your family. Use Dronspot spot-on solution for cats to kill all intestinal worms commonly found in UK cats.

How often should I worm my cat?
Research has shown that the majority of cats in the UK should be wormed monthly, based on their home environment and lifestyle such as scavenging, hunting, and spending time outdoors.* However, there may be situations where less frequent treatment is required and it’s best to speak to your vet about the most appropriate worming frequency for your cat.

Worming Made Easy
Spot on use for external application to the skin. The cat should be accurately weighed prior to treatment to ensure that the correct pipette size is used.
Remove one pipette from package. Hold pipette in upright position, twist and pull off cap and use the opposite end of the cap to break the seal.
Part the fur on the cat’s neck at the base of the skull until skin is visible. Place the tip of the pipette on the skin and squeeze firmly several times to empty the contents directly onto the skin. Application on the base of the skull will minimise the ability of the cat to lick the product off.
Apply only to the skin surface and on intact skin. NOT to be administered by any other route.
STORAGE
Store in the original package to protect from moisture.
Store below 25°C
INGREDIENTS
1.12 ml pipette contains 96 mg praziquantel and 24 mg emodepside.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Do not use in kittens under 8 weeks of age or weighing less than 0.5 kg.
Do not use in sick or debilitated animals.
Do not use in known cases of hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the excipients.
Shampooing or immersion of the animal in water directly after treatment may reduce efficacy of the product.
Avoid the treated cat or other cats in the household licking the site of application when it is wet.
Salivation (drooling) and vomiting may occur in very rare cases. Mild and transient neurological disorders such as ataxia (unsteady or stumbling gait) or tremor may occur in very rare cases. These effects are thought to occur as a result of the cat licking the application site immediately after treatment. In very rare cases following administration of the product transient alopecia (hair loss), pruritus (itchiness) and/or inflammation were observed at the application site.
Can be used during pregnancy and lactation.
Keep out of sight and reach of children and wash hands after use.

Great product to spot your cat with, especially if your cat cannot swallow, scared to give to your cat whole, or if it abandons crushed up worming tablets hidden in its food. Glad it exists! Although, whether or not it works remains to be seen..

Is this safe to use on pregnant queens please?
I can confirm Dronspot can be used during pregnancy and lactation.

Does the drontal spot on wormer go on my cats food or on the skin... Thanks
The spot on goes directly onto the skin on the back of the neck, not on the food. I have pasted the dosing guidance from the data sheet below:
Spot-on use for external application to the skin.
The cat should be accurately weighed prior to treatment to ensure that the correct pipette size is used.

How many pipes I need to apply for each cat? I mean, I tried others and I needed 2 pipes for each. Thank you
The size of Dronspot you need will depend on the weight of your cat. Small cats 0.5-2.5kg will need a Small Cat pipette, 2.5-5kg medium cats will need a Medium Cat pipette. Large cats 5-8kg will need a Large Cat pipette.
You only need to use 1 pipette of the correct size for a full doseage per cat.
