International Cat Care have shared some very useful information and advice about fleas for owners of both indoor and outdoor cats 😻

☀️ Fleas love warm weather just as much as we do, which might mean you see a rise in them infesting your cats and homes! 😱

🏠 It’s often thought only cats with outside access are at risk, especially if they are spending more time outside in the summer. However, indoor-only cats are also at risk because the people and other pets they share their home with could bring fleas or their eggs inside.

🩺 Preventative flea and worm treatment is recommended. Speak to your veterinary team about creating the right plan for your cat based on their lifestyle.

⚠️ Please be cautious when purchasing flea treatments online. Use treatments designed for cats and only use reputable sellers to avoid potentially dangerous counterfeit products.

With the hot weather set to continue over the weekend, we urge everyone to read the British Veterinary Association’s advice on how to keep your pets safe in the extreme heat:

Look at this huge tick we found on a cat this week 🙀

Ticks are tiny and it’s only when they feed that they grow and become more visible. We see more ticks here now than we used to, especially over Spring and Summer ☀️

Ticks can transmit Lyme disease to dogs and cats and to us so it’s really important they’re treated seriously.

If you see a tick on your pet, our advice is:

🪲 Remove the tick with a tick hook by twisting it

🪲 Do not pull the tick as this can result in only part of it being removed

🪲 Make sure your pet is up to date on a product to treat tick infestations - we can help advise you of the most appropriate product for your pet

As you can imagine, we go through quite a lot of dog and cat food here 🐶🐱

We’re always looking at ways to reduce our carbon footprint 🐾 and whilst the empty dog food tins are easy to recycle, a few years ago we started to wonder how we could recycle the empty cat food sachets too.

We decided to start washing out all the empty cat food sachets and every few months, take them to a local supermarket to be recycled ♻️

We’ve now been doing this for 5 years. We use on average at least 7 sachets a day which means we’ve now recycled over 12,000 sachets that would otherwise have gone to landfill 🌍😻
