Why You Need to Use Cat Flea Medicine

Cats love to cuddle up to you, rub their fur on your legs and ‘sway’ their tails, arch their backs, curl up at your feet, sleep beside you, and purr to let you know they like your company. They’re elegantly affectionate.

Indeed, cats are the sweetest pets on earth, though they’re not good at learning tricks, unlike dogs. Even if they don’t excel at learning your commands, they’ll certainly win your heart. But what happens when these sweetest pets come with itchy hitchhikers – fleas? Will you freak out and heave your cats away from you! Poor kitties, they ought not to have such treatment. What needs to be dismissed are the freeloaders they have with them.

We’d rather have these pests – hitching for free bloody meals on your cats – wiped off the face of the earth, but that’s easier wished for than done. These hardy pests are hard to kill because of their exoskeleton. They swarm in your cat’s fur like in dangerous armor. Worse, they multiply faster and in greater number than jackrabbits in summer. And when they get too many, they’ll be hanging out all over your house.

These tiny bloodsuckers bring serious harms. They feed on your cat’s blood and may cause anemia and dehydration. Their bites and larvae are so itchy your cat will keep scratching or biting her fur. She might wound her skin and this could develop into an abscess. Fleas can also cause allergic dermatitis. If ingested, they can bring tapeworms in your cat’s belly. Studies show that they even caused the bubonic pandemic.

Though each flea looks so insignificantly small, they are quite terrible as a collective. That is why they have to be blocked. They have to be banned from thriving in your cat’s pelt. No greeting mat for them in your home. Sadly, they’ll always find their way in through your cat, which just can’t stay indoors.

A lot of flea products are sold at pet stores and internet sites. Each has a unique flea-killing feature, from adults to eggs. Some even work as insect growth regulators, monitoring the development of the flea, from the hatched eggs to the adult flea. These flea control products of different, competing brands free your pets of itchiness and free you of distress.

These products come in different forms and have varied functions, but all of them work to cure cats of discomforts and diseases caused by fleas. They include flea collars, dips, powders, sprays, shampoos, spot-on, combs, and oral medicines.

Among these products, it’s the oral medicines that protect your cat from within. Spot-on, sprays, and dips offer immediate relief by killing fleas upon contact, but oral flea medication turns your cat’s blood into flea birth-control soup without poisoning her. No flea could escape the sterilizing toxin running in your cat’s veins.

Flea meds are also not messy and they won’t get you wet, won’t expose your skin to toxins, won’t stain the carpet or upholstery, won’t leave chemical residues in your home.

Regular intake of cat flea meds can effectively protect your cat from severe flea problems. Most flea meds work by attacking the fleas’ ability to reproduce, rendering them unable to lay eggs. That means no next generation bloodsuckers to take the oldies’ place.

There are flea meds for dogs that work by attacking the fleas’ nervous system, paralyzing then killing them. But such flea pills are not available for cats yet.

Cat flea meds have long been proven effective, but nowadays several counterfeit flea meds are flooding the market. That is why most people who have unfortunately purchased knockoffs are filing complaints against the poor legal manufacturers.

However, that shouldn’t stop you from buying cat flea medicines. Just be sure to purchase flea meds only from trusted pet-supply stores.

Genuine flea meds are safe and dead-accurate flea murderers. They are slightly toxic to cats but won’t harm them seriously, just as beer won’t kill any man unless he drinks a six-pack every hour.

Our cats need protection from fleas, but it’s not as simple as that. Cat flea meds should not be used alone however they should be supplemented with other externally applied flea killers for optimum effect. Hire your local Brisbane Flea Control team to save your pets from flea attack.
