It seems there might be some confusion or an issue with your cat's flea prevention. While Trifexis is effective for dogs, it's not suitable for cats, which could explain the continued presence of fleas.
- Trifexis is only labeled for use in dogs and not cats.
- Your cat may need a different flea prevention product.
- Consulting with a veterinarian can help you choose the right solution for your cat.
It's understandable to be concerned about flea infestations. Trifexis is specifically designed for dogs and does not provide protection for cats. Cats need a flea prevention medication that is safe and effective for feline use. There are various products available that are tailored to meet the flea prevention needs of cats. I encourage you to speak with a veterinarian about alternatives that are safe for your cat.
