Abstract

This study aimed to determine the prevalence of intestinal nematodes in domestic cats through household deworming observation in a selected household in Doroluman, Arakan, Cotabato. A descriptive observational research design was employed using purposive sampling. Ten domestic cats were selected and administered a Piperazine Dihydrochloride (Pidro Powder) according to the product's recommended dosage. The cats were observed for the presence of expelled intestinal worms after deworming. Results showed that 17 out of 20 cats (85%) expelled roundworms, indicating the presence of intestinal nematodes, while 3 cats (15%) showed no observable worm expulsion. The findings suggest that intestinal nematode infection is common among domestic cats in the selected household of Barangay Doroluman, Arakan, Cotabato. This stresses the importance of regular deworming and parasite monitoring to promote animal health.
