If you are looking for ways to prevent ticks and fleas from reaching your cat, you can consider purchasing some tick collars. Tick collars are used just like any other cat collars, but it has the advantage of preventing fleas and ticks from jumping onto your cat. As the collar is on your cat’s neck, some chemicals would spread onto her fur and skin.
Make sure you found the appropriate one and are using it correctly — leave room for two fingers to fit and cut the excess collar, so your cat doesn’t chew on it. Read the instructions and the label properly and monitor for any signs that your cat may be experiencing an allergic reaction to it. Stay away from collars with Amitraz chemicals since it is not for cats.
A weak point for tick collars is that it focuses on your cat’s neck and head. The rest of the body does not get the same protection against fleas and ticks.
If you notice any signs of infection, parasites, and other skin and hair coat problems, it is a good idea to make an appointment with your veterinary hospital in Marietta, GA, so your pet can undergo a thorough checkup.
