FAQ
How often should cat flea treatment be repeated?
Follow the exact interval on the cat-specific product label. Monthly dosing is common, but some products use a different schedule.
Can I use a dog flea product on my cat?
No. Use only flea products labeled for cats and for your cat's age and weight. Ask a veterinarian when you are unsure.
What if I miss a scheduled dose?
Check the product instructions or ask your veterinarian. Do not double a dose; restart the reminder from the date you safely treat your cat.
