Boots had more than a little boot scootin’ going on…
We get this question a lot:
“My dog is on prevention during the warmer months—should my cat be too?”
The answer: 100% YES. ✅
Take Boots, for example. He came in with symptoms that looked like a simple ear infection, but a closer look under the microscope revealed a full-blown ear mite boogie going on in his ears! Those mites were throwing a dance party, and Boots was not invited.
Prevention is just as important for cats as it is for dogs, especially for outdoor cats. Mites, worms, fleas, and ticks don’t discriminate 🪱🦟🐜—and indoor cats aren’t off the hook either. Parasites can hitch a ride on shoes, clothing, or other pets in the home.
Our go-to feline prevention? NexGard Combo: a topical treatment that helps protect against a wide range of parasites. 💪🐱
*If your pet is already symptomatic, we may need to use a combination of treatments to clear the current infection. If one pet has parasites, all pets in the home should be treated—even if they aren’t showing symptoms.
Feeling unsure? We get it. It can be overwhelming!
