Read MoreChoosing the Right Flea & Worming Treatment
Keeping on top of parasite control is one of the most straightforward things you can do to protect your pet’s health. The right treatment depends on your pet’s species, size and lifestyle, and using the correct product for your animal is essential for both effectiveness and safety.
- Spot-on treatments are applied to the skin at the back of the neck and are one of the most popular options for dogs and cats, typically providing protection for four to eight weeks per application
- Flea and worming tablets are a practical alternative for pets who are difficult to handle, and some formulas cover both intestinal worms and fleas in a single dose
- Flea collars provide continuous long-term protection, with some lasting up to eight months, and are particularly useful for pets who spend a lot of time outdoors or are regularly exposed to other animals
- Household flea sprays are just as important as treating your pet directly: flea eggs and larvae can survive in carpets, bedding and soft furnishings for months and will quickly re-infest a treated pet
- Always use products specifically labelled for your pet’s species: dog flea treatments must never be used on cats as some active ingredients, including permethrin, are highly toxic to them
