Cat Parasites

Cats’ natural behaviours and instincts places them at high risk of parasites:

Cat circle 1

Roaming

Exposes cats to fleas, ticks and intestinal parasite eggs and larvae shed by other pets and wildlife

Cat circle 2

Grooming

Flea tapeworm infestations can occur when cats ingest adult fleas containing flea tapeworm larvae

Cat circle 3

Hunting

Exposes cats to roundworm, lungworm and tapeworms carried by infected animals (e.g., slugs, snails or rodents)

Even indoor cats are at risk through exposure to:

  • Worm eggs transmitted on shoes.

  • Parasite-infested pests such as rodents, slugs or snails.

  • Heartworm-infected mosquitoes.

  • Parasites transmitted by other pets such as dogs.

Fleas in cats

Fleas in cats

Fleas are more than just a nuisance for your cat, they can cause skin disease and, in high numbers, can cause anaemia. They can even transmit infectious or parasitic diseases, some of which can be transmitted to people too. NexGard SPECTRA® Spot-On for Cats treats and prevents flea infestations for at least 5 weeks, ensuring protection for a full month.

Ticks in cats

A single adult female paralysis tick can kill your cat if left untreated, so preventative strategies are essential. Cats can also be infested with bush ticks. Although they don’t cause tick paralysis, these ticks can cause skin inflammation and irritation at the attachment site and heavy infestations may result in anaemia from excessive blood loss. Monthly treatment with NexGard SPECTRA® Spot-On for Cats is highly effective at controlling new infestations of paralysis ticks in cats and also protects against bush ticks.
