Preventing Parasites on Your Cat

Establishing an efficient parasite control program during your cat's early years is essential. Shop our Flea, Tick, and Worm category to find the most suitable prevention options based on factors like age, lifestyle, and environment. Some of the products available are tablets, spot-ons, sprays, or collars, which all offer unique benefits, protecting against various parasites, including fleas, ticks, intestinal worms, and even heartworm.

Indoor Cats Still Need Protection

Regardless of whether your cat is primarily indoors or outdoors, consistent parasite treatment is vital for their health. Parasites like fleas, ticks, and worms can infiltrate your home through various means, necessitating year-round protection for your feline friend.

Targeted Protection Against Specific Parasites

Fleas: The challenging life cycle of fleas involves eggs transitioning through larvae and pupae stages, remaining present in your cat's environment. Continuous year-round flea control helps prevent infestations, particularly during warmer seasons.

Ticks: Regular application of tick control products minimises the risk of life-threatening illnesses associated with tick toxicity. Daily checks for ticks on your cat's skin and fur, especially if they venture outdoors, are crucial for early detection.

Intestinal Worms: Various types of tapeworm, hookworm, and roundworm can affect cats, posing a risk to both pets and humans. Protect your cat and your family by consistently treating your cat with worming tablets or spot-ons. Kittens require more frequent worming, following a specific schedule until they reach adulthood.

Understanding Worm Transmission

Cats can contract tapeworms from fleas, especially when ingesting fleas carrying worm eggs. Combating these parasites requires a comprehensive approach involving flea, tick, and worm treatments to ensure your cat's well-being.

Heartworm Concerns

Mosquitoes transmit heartworm, a potentially fatal condition for cats. Consult with your Vets to determine the most suitable heartworm treatment for your cat, considering regional susceptibility to this disease based on mosquito prevalence.
