Preventing and treating tick and flea infestations in cats

by Lilou Bastet

Preventive treatments
Use preventive antiparasitic treatments suitable for cats, available in the form of collars, pipettes or tablets. Consult your veterinarian to choose the most effective product.

Regular checks
Examine your cat's coat regularly, especially after going outdoors. Use a flea comb to detect and remove parasites.

Environmental treatment
Wash your cat's bedding and toys regularly, and vacuum frequently to eliminate flea eggs and larvae in your home.
