Cat Fleas: Complete Treatment Plan

Why Fleas Are More Than a Nuisance

Fleas transmit tapeworms, cause allergic dermatitis, and can lead to anemia in kittens. A single female flea lays 50 eggs per day.

Effective Topical Treatments

Revolution Plus provides monthly protection against fleas, ticks, ear mites, and heartworms. Apply to the skin at the back of the neck.

Oral Options

Credelio is a monthly oral flea and tick treatment approved for cats. Capstar kills adult fleas within 30 minutes for rapid relief.

Environmental Treatment

95% of the flea population exists as eggs, larvae, and pupae in your home. Vacuum daily. Wash bedding in hot water. Use an IGR spray.

Prevention Schedule

Year-round monthly flea prevention is recommended even for indoor cats. Consistency is more important than product choice.
