About this product

1. Do Flea and Tick Collars Work for Cats?

Answer

There are flea and tick collars made especially for cats. When looking for one for your cat, make sure you get one designed for cats. Bear in mind that a flea and tick collar intended for dogs can be toxic for your cats. Dog collars have ingredients like amitraz and permethrin, which are harmful to cats. Additionally, make sure to look for the one with an insect growth regulator ( IGR), which kills the eggs and larvae. Once you have brought a collar, test it on your cat to see how it reacts to the collar. Watch for any skin reactions and consult your veterinarian in case you see anything abnormal.

2. What Do Vets Recommend For Fleas on Cats?

Answer

The most effective approach to flea control is a three-step method involving treatment of the year, the house, and the cat. However, modern tick and flea control medications have evolved, and the cleaning of the premises is hardly required, especially in the case of an indoor cat. The most common products recommended by veterinarians for flea treatment in cats include Capstar, Comfortis, and Program. For collars, products like Alzoo flea and tick collar reviews are impressive. Seresto is also recommended as it has a sustained release formulation of imidacloprid, a flea killing compound. Used in combination with flumethrin, it kills ticks and fleas for eight months.

3. Which Is Better Flea Collar or Drops for Cats?

Answer

There are several options for flea treatments in pets, including flea collars, spot-on treatments, shampoos, tablets, and flea spray. However, the most common practice remains the flea collars or pipetting flea drops on your pet. Flea collars are straightforward to use and effective for months. However, one of the drawbacks of a flea collar is that it is primarily contained in your pet's upper torso and neck region and is not fully effective in full coverage. In this sense, Flea drops are better for cats since you can pipette a few drops around the neck and a few drops in the tail region for full coverage.

4. Do Indoor Cats Need a Flea Collar?

Answer

The short answer to this question is yes. It doesn't matter whether your cat is an indoor or outdoor cat. If there's direct or indirect exposure to the outdoors, your feline friend is at the risk of picking up fleas. This could be through any number of reasons, another cat or dog in the family that goes out, sunbathing in the backyard or sorts, your cat will be exposed to fleas. In more rare cases, even humans who have been in flea-infested areas. Moreover, if you have just moved into a new house and the previous owner had a pet with a flea infestation, there might be dormant protected cocoons that might break free upon sensing the cat in the house. This is the long and short of how even an indoor cat can get fleas, which is why it's pretty essential to have a flea collar or primary flea treatment in place even for your indoor cats when you suspect they might contract fleas for any reason mentioned above.

5. What Kills Fleas on Cats Instantly?

Answer

Several medications in the market can get rid of fleas as fast as 30 minutes. Oral pills like nitenpyram and spinosad are fast-acting medications that get rid of adult fleas and work quickly even before they start laying eggs. A female flea can lay up to 50 eggs in a day, and it's imperative to get a fast-acting medication that will avoid a full-blown flea infestation. Look for active ingredients and brands like fipronil, imidacloprid, selamectin, and fluralaner. A good flea collar with flumethrin and imidacloprid also serves the purpose very well.

6. What Is Safest Flea Treatment for Cats?

Answer

No two pets or cats are the same; therefore, several considerations come into account when choosing a safe flea treatment. These considerations can be broadly classified into age, breed, health history, lifestyle, and residence. These factors are usually taken into account by the vet to recommend a safe flea treatment. Look at the product label to figure out the suitable age range, breed of your cat, coat type, any ongoing medication or treatment, exposure to outdoors, and if your area of residence has a severe flea infestation. Treatment options like Alzoo flea collars, Frontline Plus, Trifexis and Bravecto are some of the most recommended safe flea treatments.

7. Can Flea Collars Make Cats Sick?

Answer

While flea collars are one of the most effective and safest flea treatment methods, it comes with a hidden hazard. Usually, flea collars contact an active ingredient called pyrethrin, which is very effective in flea removal but toxic for cats. In case your cat chews on the collar or ingest this ingredient in some way or another, it may cause GI tract issues or severe damage to your central nervous system or heart.
