Is one brand of dewormer enough if feeding raw?

[AnnieLu]

I currently transit my cats diet to raw. Currently, I apply Revolution on my cats to prevent parasite but it only treats roundworms and hookworms. Do I have to apply other dewormer that kills tapeworm and whipworm?

Also which one would you suggest, Interceptor, Revolution or Profender? Does anyone know Milpro? I found it on Australia website. It's an allwormer brand but seems like not so popular in US.

You don’t need to use any dewormer for a raw diet. Just get your meat from a reputable source.

Tapeworm is usually transmitted to cats through them swallowing a flea. You can get your kitty tested for parasites if you like with a stool sample. Profender treats tapeworms too in addition to roundworms and hookworms. There are also pills like Bayer Dewormer pill that only treats tapeworms. (Personally I'm not a fan of doing everything at once. At most I use Stronghold, and two weeks later a pill for tapeworms.)

Regardless of the diet, it's the best to discuss with a good local vet as worms/parasites differ from one region to the other, season to season. In Australia there might be different needs especially now in the summer.
