Kittens can be dewormed as early as a couple of weeks of age. The Center for Disease Control recommends that kittens be started on a prevenative deworming program at 3 weeks of age and continued every 2 weeks until they are 9 weeks of age. Your veterinarian should be consulted to choose an appropriate dewormer and discuss the need for deworming specific to your kitten's situation.
