Australian Member asking about CREDELIO pills for cats

Thanks for the question! Credelio is a medication that helps protect cats from fleas and ticks, which is very important for keeping your furry friend healthy and comfortable. It works by killing these pests quickly and efficiently, reducing the chance of irritation and disease transmission.



Before giving Credelio to your cat, it's important to ensure that your cat is the right age and weight for this medication, as it is typically safe for cats over 8 weeks old weighing more than 2 pounds. Always follow the dosage instructions provided by your vet.



When administering the pill, try wrapping it in a small piece of soft food or treat to make the process easier for you and more enjoyable for your cat. After administering Credelio, monitor your pet for any signs of an adverse reaction, such as vomiting, diarrhea, or a lack of appetite. Although these reactions are rare, you should contact a vet if they occur.



Look out for more serious symptoms like difficulty breathing or sudden changes in behavior, as they could indicate a more serious issue, requiring immediate attention.



If you're still unsure or have more questions tailored to your cat's specific health needs, I'd recommend booking a video consult with one of our vets on Dial A Vet. We're here to help keep your pet happy and healthy!
