Finding 'flea dirt' (flea feces) indicates your cat is consistently being exposed to fleas, even if your preventative is working to kill them. This often points to a significant flea burden in the environment, not just on your pet. You'll need to treat your home rigorously with a product that kills adult fleas and prevents new ones from developing by targeting eggs and larvae. Vacuuming frequently and washing bedding in hot water can also help. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance on comprehensive flea control strategies.
