Answer

Protecting an outdoor cat from parasites during warm, humid months requires a multi-pronged approach. Regular topic flea and tick preventative treatments, prescribed by your vet, are essential. Consider a deworming schedule, as outdoor cats are more prone to intestinal parasites from hunting. Heartworm prevention is also important in many regions. Regularly checking your cat for ticks and fleas, and maintaining a clean litter box area, will also help. Discuss with your vet the most suitable and safest parasite control products for your cat's lifestyle and local risks. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
