Year-Round Flea Prevention for Cats

Why Year-Round Matters

Fleas thrive indoors year-round in heated homes. A single female lays 50 eggs daily, making prevention far easier than elimination.

Topical Treatments

Applied monthly to the back of the neck. Revolution and Frontline Plus are popular. Apply directly to skin. Avoid bathing 48 hours before or after.

Oral Medications

Monthly tablets like Capstar kill adult fleas within 30 minutes. Comfortis provides month-long protection.

Environmental Control

• Vacuum daily during infestations
• Wash bedding weekly in hot water
• Use household sprays with growth regulators
• Treat all pets simultaneously
