Buy Flea and Tick Treatments for Cats Online

There's nothing worse than finding out that your cuddly companion has contracted a pesky parasite. The presence of fleas and ticks causes a wide variety of problems for both cats and their parents. Cat fleas are small, hard bodied, dark brown to black insects. They can't fly but have strong hind legs which let them jump. They have mouths that can pierce your pet's skin and suck their blood. Depending on the temperature and humidity, fleas can live from one to two and a half months. That's enough time to cause significant discomfort to your cat.

There are a number of signs your cat has fleas, including flea dirt in their coat, excessive scratching, licking or biting at their skin, as well as hair loss. A variety of flea treatments and medicines are available for cats. You can use some to kill fleas on your pet, while others help you kill pests in your home or yard. Cat flea treatments should target both adult and larval fleas.

A flea or tick is an ectoparasite, or a parasite that lives outside of its host. In order to survive, fleas and ticks must bite their hosts to draw blood for food. Even though flea bites are small, their saliva can cause severe allergies, dermatitis, anemia, itching, and infections. 

Tick-borne diseases do not affect cats as much as they do dogs, but there is still a risk of illness. It is also possible for ticks to transmit diseases to cats, which can then be transmitted to humans. In order to prevent flea and tick allergies and reduce the risk of diseases spreading, it’s best to prevent infestations from occurring in the first place. The good news is that there are many products that can help you keep your pet parasite-free.
