I have seen people trying to sell their cats and kittens on the internet and when they are asked if they are flead and wormed, they say no as they are to young.You can worm a kitten and flea a kitten, from the age of two weeks old worming, as worms and fleas can kill kittens.It is a awful fact that there are people that do not treat their pets and do not think of how ill a pet can be, without treatment like this.

Some people don't think this is something they should have to spend money on! Of course some people are idiots and would not even think treating their cats for fleas and worms! Same with dogs! Grwoing up I grew up on a farm. Are dogs were never wormed.They did get their rabies shot! Neither were the cats! I had a horse and they should be wormed every two months. Well,on the farm that happened only twice a year! Sure the cows were treated better! Sometimes! Anyway to people somethings are more important then their pets!

I feel that if people have pets and they know that they need to treat them and a lot of people can see fleas on their pets then they should buy the stuff to treat them.
I would rather spend money on a prevention than seeing a pet suffer and not pay a few quid for a cure.

SOme people just don't think and aren't very responsible. When I was a young girl we had cats all the time. We had a vet if there was an emergency but I recall no flea or worm medicines. These animals lived outdoors and did just fine. If people are going to have animals indoors I think there is more of a need for flea and worm medications.

I use to help out in a cats home and I will say that even ferral cats had fleas as well as throwing up worms.
As soon as a cat came into the cats home the first things that they would do was treat for fleas as well as worms, mainly so if they had them then they would not spread them to other cats as well as to the helpers that were helping out.

If there are some people that will listen it is better than no one at all.Its just a shame that there are people out there that do not treat the pets that they have.People also do not understand we can also catch worms off our pets and houses can run with fleas in the carpet and bedding, not nice.For the sake of a few pounds, its got to be worth treating these pets, as it saves them suffering or worse still dying.

You are so right that worms and fleas can kill kittens, as well as cats and it is a shame that people do not do this on a regular basis.
I use to help out at a cats home when I was a lot younger and the state of some of the cats that were bought in could have been avoided, all for the sake of a few pounds and common sense.

You are best to treat the puppy as soon as possible, as worms can kill a puppy.I would suggest that you go to a pet shop, if you can not get to a vet and get worming treatment for the puppy.Worms are also what we as humans can catch off animals, I am sure that you do not want worms and neither do you want the puppy to suffer.Worming treatment is easy to use, also can be bought cheaply.
