Cat Health: Flea Treatment
All of our flea preparations are highly effective prescription only medicines that
are not available in the shops. Some anti-flea preparations available over the counter
in shops are not completely effective and/or can cause serious side effects in some
animals, for example permethrin which is very toxic to cats.
We have available a range of treatments to kill or prevent flea infestations, some
which can be used from two weeks of age. The range includes sprays, spot-ons, injections
and oral medicines that are effective for between one to six months depending on
the product prescribed for your pet.
Some flea treatments are also effective against other parasites including ear mites,
ticks, lice, roundworm, hookworm and heartworm but each product is different and
our vets will advise you as to the most appropriate and cost effective option.
