Even for indoor cats, year-round flea and tick prevention is highly recommended. Fleas and ticks can hitchhike into your home on other pets, clothing, or even rodents. Once inside, they can easily infest your cat and your home, leading to uncomfortable bites, skin allergies, and even transmit diseases. Some fleas can also carry tapeworm larvae. Consistent prevention breaks the lifecycle and protects your cat from these common parasites, regardless of the season. Discuss suitable options with your vet, such as topical treatments, oral medications, or collars. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
