Flea And Worm Treatment For Cats

At Rutland Vets in Northamptonshire, we know how important it is to protect your cat from fleas, ticks, and worms. These parasites can cause discomfort, illness, and even serious health issues if left untreated. Regular, effective prevention is the best way to keep your cat—and your home—free from unwanted guests.

Whether your cat is an indoor companion or an adventurous explorer, they are still at risk of picking up parasites. That’s why we offer safe, vet-recommended flea and worm treatments tailored to your cat’s lifestyle and needs.

Fleas, ticks, and worms aren’t just a nuisance, they can lead to:

• Skin irritation and allergies
• Anaemia in kittens or older cats
• Tapeworm infections (some of which can also affect humans)
• Flea infestations in your home
• Tick-borne diseases, including Lyme disease
  

Indoor cats are not immune. Fleas and worm eggs can enter your home on shoes, other pets, or through open windows.

Fleas are a common issue for cats and can cause itching, hair loss, and discomfort. More seriously, they can transmit tapeworms and diseases.

At Rutland Vets, we provide:

• Spot-on treatments
• Oral tablets
  

Long-acting solutions
All of which are vet-approved and highly effective at killing fleas and preventing infestations.

Cats can pick up intestinal worms from hunting, contaminated soil, or even from fleas. Regular worming protects your cat, and your household, against:

• Roundworms
• Tapeworms
• Other common gastrointestinal parasites

We’ll recommend the right schedule and product to ensure your cat is fully protected throughout the year.

For most cats, we recommend:

• Flea treatment every 4–8 weeks (depending on the product)
• Worming treatment every 3 months, or more frequently for outdoor or hunting cats
  

Our team at Rutland Vets can help you set up a preventive care plan that suits your cat’s age, health, and lifestyle.

To make parasite prevention even easier, we offer a Pet Health Plan that includes:

• Year-round flea and worm treatments
• Regular health checks
• Vaccinations and more
