Some cats won't eat their food if it's mixed up with medicine. For finicky cats, it might be easier to just give them a pill.
Possibly for some. These are actual scored tablets. No way they would take these otherwise which is why I put it in such a small amount. It can be near impossible to get a cat to swallow a pill like that if you have anything against getting your skin shredded. And a shih tzu has no snout to hold :) The vet said the problem with tapeworms is they can turn around & get them again & again if they eat another infested flea. It’s cheaper to get the OTC stuff that has more than one treatment in the bottle somewhere like Petsmart than to pay $30-$40 a pop at the vet. As a matter of fact the vet is the one who recommended it. A tapeworm can be pricier than roundworms. Had it not been for the plan it would have cost me $100 for one worm.
I should have gone to veterinary school. LOL.
