What to Keep in Mind When Using Topical Flea and Tick Treatment on Cats
Cats can pick up external parasites at any time of year, so regular preventive treatment matters. Topical products come as sprays or spot-on drops, and their coverage depends on the active ingredient, so the right choice depends on your cat's lifestyle and the parasites it faces. Apply spots along the spine, dose by weight, avoid bathing for a few days, and use an Elizabethan collar to prevent licking. Kittens can start around two months old with monthly treatment; adults need it every one to three months, more often in warm seasons or for outdoor cats. Never use dog-only products containing permethrin on cats.
