Cat Parasite Control

A variety of both internal and external parasites have evolved to live, often in peaceful harmony, with cats. A few are potentially transmissible to us, or are certainly happy to live on or in us. Fortunately most are simple to prevent, or treat.

Our Cat Parasite Control Policy

Most indoor cats in London need only primary treatment when they enter your home. Further prevention in needed only in exceptional circumstances such as the introduction of new cats or dogs.

Outdoor cats however need routine preventative treatment, especially for fleas.

A veterinarian in navy blue scrubs with an orange stethoscope examines a white and tabby cat on an examination table. The cat appears alert with bright eyes while the vet gently places his hands on its back. Medical equipment can be seen mounted on the wall in the background.

All of these parasites are eliminated using a variety of prescription ‘spot-ons’ or tablets. If fleas are present treat your household with flea birth control and flea killer products to prevent reinfestation. The nurses will advise according to your pet’s (and your) individual needs.

DANGER: Some ‘spot-ons’ that contain pyrethins, for example Advantix, which is safe and effective for dogs, are potentially lethal for cats. Never use products with pyrethrins either on cats or on dogs that live with cats.
