I thought garlic (of the onion family) and cloves were bad for cats?
Cats were once gods; they have never forgotten this, nor have the people they own.

Indications
Nematode (Round Worms), Cestode (Tape Worms) and Tremenatoda (Flukes) infestation.

I'm assuming that's what it claims to treat. I'm dubious but I have used their herbal flea remedy before and although it's not brilliant if there's an outbreak (heavy duty chemicals are clearly needed then!) it's pretty good at controlling the odd one or two. Hmmm..... :innocent:

combination of herbs traditionally used for parasitic infestations. What do you think?


I don’t know what I think really. The trouble is that you usually only see worms when the burden of infestation is to great for the host (i.e the cat) to sustain comfortably. Therefore you may not know for a long time  if the treatment was not working.

Also the information is not very specific, i.e. it just says tapeworm., as you know there are different types of tapeworm and even some of the better known  vet treatments do not kill the tapeworm related to the flea.
