My cat stays indoors, does he still need flea and tick meds?

I personally still recommend it because you can bring in fleas and ticks on your clothes thus accidentally infesting Kodi. Visitors can bring them in as well. It's best she's protected. I hope this helps!

Hi and thanks for your post! Yes, it is recommended that even indoor cats be on flea preventative. The reason for this is fleas can find ways into your home and even hitch a ride on you! It only takes one flea to induce a flea allergy and cause an infestation eventually so it is better to prevent. Dealing with fleas on your pet and in your house can be a real headache. I hope this helps and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!

Yes, I would recommend putting her on a flea prevention at the very least - you may not need tick coverage if she doesn't go into wooded areas or tall grass, but almost all pets are exposed to fleas simply be going for a daily walk. The best products currently available are oral medications such as Comfortis/Trifexis, Nexgard, and Bravecto - you can get these from your vet.

Yes of course you can give your pet cat Holly a flea preventative like Revolution or Advantage multi, but there is no tick preventative out there for cats at the present time. If you do decide to use another product on Holly make sure it is labeled safe for use in cats.

An indoor cat with no exposure should be dewormed at least every 6 months. He may not go outdoors, but you do and it is possible small mammals, namely rodents, may find their way inside the house. A topical flea and tick preventative should be used monthly all year round. Alternatively, you could use it during the Spring, Summer and Fall months.

Unfortunately your puppy can bring in a live flea and that flea can then hop on your cat(s). So it is a good idea to also put flea prevention on your kitties. Make sure it is labelled as suitable for cats.

The most comprehensive protection you can get that is also the easiest to apply and has very, very few side effects would be Revolution. I highly recommend this. I will provide broad spectrum coverage for fleas, roundworms, hookworms, ear mites, scabies, etc. This will give you peace of mind. You can get this product easily by going to one of Petco's VETCO clinics inside their stores. Take Ford with you as the vet will need to see him. They do not charge an exam fee so all you will need to pay for is the product. Hope this helps.
