Flea & Tick Care for Cats: No More Itchy, Scratchy, Scratching!
*By Telavets – Your Telemedicine Sidekick for Healthy, Happy Cats*Is your cat scratching away like they’ve become an expert at digging for treasure? If you’ve spotted little black dots on their fur, or worse, tiny critters scurrying around, your cat may be dealing with fleas or ticks. And while they may seem like a minor nuisance, these tiny parasites can cause major discomfort for your furry friend!
Fleas can lead to itching, hair loss, and even infections, while ticks are more likely to transmit serious diseases. But don’t worry, Telavets is here to help keep your kitty flea- and tick-free, all from the comfort of your own home.
Why Fleas and Ticks Are a Big Deal for Cats
Fleas are tiny but mighty—one flea can lay hundreds of eggs, causing an infestation before you know it. They can make your cat itch like crazy, leading to red, inflamed skin. Ticks, on the other hand, latch onto your cat’s skin and can transmit diseases like Lyme disease and anaplasmosis.How Telavets Can Help
