Flea and Tick Treatment for Cats
Be sure to consult with your veterinarian and thoroughly read the manufacturer’s guidelines before choosing flea and tick treatment, preventives and/or home/yard care products. If your veterinarian determines that prescription intervention is needed, Petco carries that.
Besides causing your cat discomfort, fleas and ticks can carry harmful diseases. Fortunately, there are many options available to help keep your family safe. Flea collars are a common choice and some can help repel both fleas and ticks. Besides collars, Pet&co also carries an assortment of topical and oral flea medications for cats. Many of these treatment/prevention products target fleas and ticks while some provide additional protection for ear mites, heartworms and internal parasites, depending on the product. Many of these products are administered orally or applied topically once a month, and provide full-body protection.
Pet&co also offers house and yard flea treatment sprays, shampoos and combs that help you remove adult fleas and ticks from your cat. These solutions can help get biting bugs off your cat’s coat, but they shouldn’t be the only step you take to address an infestation. Additional steps to safeguard your home include yard sprays, foggers and powders that help rid your yard, rugs and fabrics of fleas and their eggs.
