☀️ The heat isn’t helping with pest control, as fleas thrive in the warmth.
🐈 If you see fleas on kitty, it’s likely that even more fleas are trespassing in your home! (Sneaky critters)
💊 When treating for flea infestations, treating kitty with prophylactics (both flea and worming medication) also treat your home 🏠

Good luck car families. Fleas are sneaky little things

1. Fleas are excellent jumpers- While the average flea can jump a horizontal distance of 8 inches, some have been recorded jumping as far as 20 inches!
2. Flea eggs take anywhere from 2 Days to 2 weeks to develop.
3. Fleas breed like crazy- A female may lay as many as 2,000 eggs in her lifetime.
4. Fleas will live 1 week without food- The average lifespan is between 2 & 3 months, however, with an ongoing food supply, a flea can live up to 100 days!
5. Fleas prefer animal hosts-
There are different species of fleas including cat fleas (Ctenocephalides felis), these are capable of affecting dogs as well as a variety of other animals.

AND... A Bonus Fact...
6. Fleas are important in the transmission of ‘cat scratch disease’ between cats and to humans. This is an infection with the bacterium Bartonella hensellae and is spread when fleas feed on blood.

Keep your cats parasite protected for them and yourself!

🦷 🪥 Traditional teeth cleaning is part of our kitten grooms. If this is something you want to introduce to your cat (any age), we can work on that with slow training.

Ultimately it works better with up-keep at home as well as on a regular grooming schedule.

Should I Brush My Cat’s Teeth?

The short answer: Yes!
Just like us, cats can get plaque, tartar, and even painful dental disease if their teeth aren’t looked after. In fact, dental issues are one of the most common problems we see in cats — and often they suffer in silence.

But don’t panic — brushing your cat’s teeth is possible, and it doesn’t have to be a battle!

How to Help Your Cat Adjust to Brushing:
✅ Start slow – Begin by gently touching around their mouth during cuddle time. Let them sniff or lick the toothbrush and pet-safe toothpaste (never human toothpaste!).
✅ Go at their pace – Try just lifting the lip one day, rubbing with your finger the next; gradually build it up.
✅ Use tasty toothpaste – Many are chicken or fish flavoured, which cats love!
✅ Make it positive – Give treats, playtime, or fuss after each session so they associate it with something good.
✅ Keep sessions short and sweet – Even a few seconds daily makes a difference.

If brushing isn’t working for your cat, there are other options like dental diets, dental treats, and water additives that can be used.

Looking after your cat’s teeth = a happier, healthier kitty for years to come.

CA-YOOT! 😻 I met these two beautiful kittens (yes, still technically kittens) on Friday. They did amazingly well for their first ever pro grooms. Aren’t they just adorable with those gorgeous Ragdoll eyes 🩵.
