Expert Advice and Recommendations
To effectively protect a cat against internal and external parasites, it’s essential to follow a regular preventive routine. Administer a specific dewormer every 1 to 3 months depending on your cat’s lifestyle (indoor or outdoor). To keep fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes at bay, choose solutions designed for cats, such as spot-on treatments or anti-parasitic collars. Avoid bathing your cat after application, as this can reduce the product’s effectiveness. Inspect your cat’s coat, especially after coming indoors, and clean its bedding regularly. Consult your veterinarian before use, as some products intended for dogs may be toxic to cats.
