Fleas are unwanted hitchhikers that catch a ride on your pets and then feed off their blood. These unpleasant visitors also enjoy the warm, dry environment of your home where they can easily breed. Fortunately you can get rid of these nasty pests with cat flea treatment products.

Cat Flea Treatments

There are a number of cat flea treatment products on the market including powders, sprays and tablets. You do need to consider which treatment would be best for your pets. Even cats that stay indoors can catch fleas so it is important that you take steps to prevent these nasty hitchhikers and ensure they stay away from your pets and home.

- Flea Treatment Powder – this is a more traditional type of flea treatment. The chemicals used to kill the fleas are provided in a powder form. You shake the powder over your pets and gently rub it into the fur. Most pets will dislike this treatment process and you may find it difficult to treat pets thoroughly this way.

- Flea Treatment Sprays – in this flea treatment the flea killing chemicals are in liquid form which is then applied with a spray applicator. Again pets often dislike being sprayed with this treatment and this can make it difficult to carry out the treatment thoroughly.

- Flea Treatment Tablets – flea tablets are a more up-to-date option and have the benefits of being fast-acting and easy to apply. All that is required is to crumble the treatment over your pet’s food. They will then ingest the tablet without realising. This is much less stressful to both pets and owners and does provide a more effective way of delivering the treatment.

- Flea Spot On Treatments – the latest treatment on the market is the ‘Spot On’ product. Several leading flea treatment brands including Frontline and Flevox offer this type of treatment. The flea killing chemicals are applied directly onto the skin in a few drops. This is then absorbed into the body to provide fast-acting treatment. Spot On products are stress-free to apply and have the benefit of being one of the most effective cat flea treatment products on the market.

Treating Pets

It is a good idea to ensure your pets are constantly protected from fleas with cat flea treatment products. These nasty hitchhikers can breed very quickly and can soon cause infestations. Large numbers of fleas can make pets feel very unwell and can also be harmful to humans too.

Fleas will feed from humans and they can cause nasty inflamed bites. Fleas can also transmit some diseases and other parasitic eggs (such as tapeworm) through their saliva so it is important to try and prevent flea bites in the home by eradicating these nasty creatures before they can do any harm using cat flea treatment products.
