Where does your cat live? You may have an indoor cat or an outdoor cat. Of the two outdoor cats are more prone to flea infestation.
If it is an outdoor cat, you need to make sure that you give the cat treatment for fleas on a regular basis since they are more prone to having these parasites. Although it doesn’t mean that indoor cats are exempted, the chances that they will have fleas are definitely lower than your outdoor cats.
3. Application
There are some flea drops that are recommended for cats up to a certain weight. This is a unique consideration and you need to read the labels to see if your cat’s weight will qualify. This consideration is dependent on the type of cat that you have, so it only makes sense that you won’t buy a flea drop that is for cats up to 10 lbs. when your feline is 14 lbs.
4. Side Effects
Flea drops are designed to get rid of pests but they could also harm your cats. There are cases where some medicines don’t sit well with cats or it may also be dangerous for your cat. Make sure that you read the ingredients and as suggested above, the toxicity level.
You also need to consider the side effects. This should be disclosed in the treatment but you can read reviews for a more realistic idea of what could possibly happen to a cat when using a certain product.
