Frequently asked questions
How often should I apply external parasite preventatives to dogs and cats?
Most prescription spot-on and oral treatments provide reliable protection for thirty days, though some advanced options last longer, and we will customize the exact schedule based on your pet's species, lifestyle, and exposure risk.
Are dog parasite treatments safe to use on cats?
No, many canine flea and tick products, particularly those containing permethrins, are highly toxic and potentially fatal to cats, so you should always use species-specific products prescribed by your veterinarian.
How do I know if my cat has fleas since they groom so frequently?
Cats are meticulous groomers, meaning you might not see live fleas, but you can look out for excessive scratching, hair loss, scabs on the skin, or tiny black specks of flea dirt in their fur or bedding.
Can indoor-only dogs and cats still get fleas and ticks?
Yes, parasite eggs and hitchhiking adults can easily be brought indoors on human clothing, shoes, or other pets, making consistent year-round prevention vital even for indoor companions.
What is the safest way to remove a tick from my dog or cat?
You should bring your pet to the clinic or consult us for proper removal because pulling a tick improperly can leave its mouthparts embedded in the skin, leading to local infection or irritation.
Why should I avoid cheap over-the-counter flea treatments from pet stores or supermarkets?
Many store-bought chemical treatments have low efficacy against local parasite strains and carry a much higher risk of adverse skin reactions or neurological side effects, especially in sensitive cats and small dogs.
Can external parasites transmit dangerous diseases to my pets?
Yes, fleas can transmit tapeworms and cause severe anemia in puppies and kittens, while ticks can transmit serious vector-borne pathogens like tick fever to dogs.
Do indoor cats need flea and tick prevention if they never go outside?
While their risk is lower, indoor cats can still be exposed through open windows, screened balconies, or other pets in the household, so light preventative measures are often still recommended.
