Yes, this product is safe and effective for many different types of worms. The dose depends on the size of the kitten and the size of the tablet. Usually, the packaging of the medication has a dose range on it. Otherwise, you may check on the manufacturers website for this information. With some products, the tablet will be too big to accurately cut down to the size needed for a kitten. If you are having this problem, then it's best to find a dewormer that is labeled for kittens.
