The long-term health of your family and your cat are both impacted by the frequent use of safe, preventative medicines against common parasites throughout your cat's life. Treating fleas and worms is more expensive than preventing them.
In order to determine the level of flea and worm treatment your cat needs, we work with you to conduct a risk assessment based on your cat's lifestyle and behaviour.

Flea Treatments For Cats
Insect parasites such as ticks and fleas can be harmful to your cat's health. These bloodsucking insects have the potential to transmit disease in addition to causing annoyance and suffering. Fleas may bite humans even though they often target cats. Ticks, however, have a tendency to attach themselves to cats and pose a major risk to health, including the transmission of Lyme disease.
At Boundary Vets, we prioritise the health of your cat and offer informed advice on how to prevent infestations by ticks and fleas. We have a variety of prescription products available, like as collars, tablets, and spot treatments, designed to protect your cat from these unwanted parasites.
Regular flea prevention is crucial. Starting therapy before your cat comes into touch with fleas is preferable. If you believe you have an infestation, our team can offer guidance on how to treat your home to get rid of any eggs and larvae that could be lurking in furniture, crevices, and carpets.
We can provide you with the equipment required to extract a tick from your cat as well as, in case expert help is required.
We provide tick removal solutions and treatments if you suspect your cat is infested with ticks. However, we would be happy to remove the ticks at one of our nurse consultations if you are concerned.

Treating your cat with our vet recommended treatment plan will effectively kill fleas and disrupt their life cycle.

Worm Treatments For Cats
Worms are microscopic parasites found in your cat's body that are often eaten after coming into touch with the outside environment.
If your cat exhibits signs like diarrhoea, bloating, cramps, or other digestive issues, or more severe symptoms like profuse bleeding, worms could go undetected.Lungworm might result in bleeding issues and episodes of coughing. Slugs and snails scatter it, and it may be found in their slime trails. Fleas, for example, carry tapeworm, one of the parasites that may spread through other parasites. There are several worm species to be mindful of, such as lungworm, heartworm, hookworm, whipworm, tapeworm, and roundworm.
We advocate getting your cats and dogs frequently wormed as we feel that prevention is always better than rehabilitation.

Flea & Worm Treatment For Your Cats
For cats, a monthly spot-on treatment for fleas, ticks, mange mites, and all of the worms listed above (except tapeworms) is recommended. As with dogs, you'll need a different tapeworm. If your cat hunts, they will also need to be treated for tapeworms every three months. To learn more about worming your cat, see this link.
Please be cautioned that not all worms and fleas that your cat may come into contact with may be adequately treated by many of the remedies that Boundary Vets supplies. On the market, worming treatments come in a variety of forms, including liquids, pills, granules, and spot-ons.

Protecting Your Cat From Ticks
As ticks are a common parasite that may infect cats, we at Boundary Vets encourage cat owners to be mindful of the risks associated with tick bites and to take preventative measures.
Tick-borne diseases, such as Lyme disease, can infect cats. These ailments have the potential to seriously harm cats' health or, in extreme cases, even cause death. Protecting your dogs from tick attacks requires taking preventative measures.
Here are some tips for tick prevention in cats:
-
Use a tick preventative treatment: There are many different tick preventative products available, including spot-on treatments, collars, and oral medications. These treatments are highly effective as preventative measures, working to kill ticks before they have chance to bite.
-
Check your cat for ticks regularly: After spending time outside, be sure to thoroughly check your cat for ticks. Ticks can attach anywhere on the body, but are most commonly found around the head, ears, neck, and feet. If you find a tick, use tweezers to carefully remove it, making sure to get the entire tick and avoiding crushing it.
-
Keep your garden tidy: Ticks thrive in tall grass and other vegetation, so keeping your garden well-maintained and mowed. This can help to reduce the tick population.
-
Avoid walking in wooded or brushy areas: These are high-risk areas for ticks; avoiding them can help reduce the risk of tick bites.
-
Talk to your vet: Your vet can provide guidance on tick preventative products and offer recommendations based on your cat's individual needs.
By following these suggestions and taking preventative action, you may help protect your pets from the risks associated with tick bites. Please get in touch with Boundary Vets as soon as possible if you have any questions or concerns about keeping your cat safe from ticks.
Parasite Control: Hazards in our local community
The parks around Boundary Veterinary Practice may harbour parasites such as fleas, worms and other parasites.
In particular, parks provide as a haven for parasites from April through October, when temperatures are higher. If you're a cat owner, you don't want to limit the socialisation possibilities or the amount of time your furry buddy can spend outside. But what can a cat owner do when it looks like every other animal is scratching and itching while playing with slugs and other parasite-carrying creatures?

Frequently Asked Questions:
What happens to my pet if they don't have flea and worm treatment?
When it comes to worm treatment, there may be severe consequences if ignored. Depending on the type of worm your pet can experience irritation such as intestinal blockages, obstruction of blood flow in the heart, artery inflammation, anaemia, and even death if left untreated.
Can you get combined flea and worm treatment for pets?
There are combined flea and worm treatments you can get for your pets, also known as an all-in-one flea and wormer. However, it's always best to consult your veterinary practice as these treatments don't cover some types of worms. Your pet may also have complications that combined treatments don't cover.
How often does my pet need flea and worm treatment?
Once every month, you should treat your pet for fleas, and every two to three months, or even more frequently, for worms. Depending on your pet's lifestyle, talk to your vet about the best course of action.
How long should I wait between worming and flea treatments?
Many people wonder if they can treat their cats for fleas and worms at the same time or how long they should leave between treatments. Depending on the two treatments being administered you may need to wait either 48 hours or two weeks between treatments. Please ask your vet when picking up your flea and worm treatment how to apply the two treatments most effectively and safely.
Do indoor cats need flea and worm treatment?
Every cat, even indoor cats, need regular flea and worm preventative treatments. It is a common misconception that an exclusively indoor cat does not need these treatments – this is not true at all. Fleas commonly travel on clothes and bags and so may be brought into the house at any time. A cat could even pick up fleas during a trip to a vet, especially where other pets may not have been treated.
Does my rabbit need flea and worm treatment?
You must consistently employ effective, preventative medicines against the most prevalent parasites throughout the lifespan of your rabbit to ensure their wellbeing and long-term health, as well as that of your family and Rabbits. Keep in mind that prevention is much simpler and less expensive than treatment. Rabbits also suffer from several other parasites and conditions, such as Mites, Flystrike, and E. cuniculi.
