Do Flea Collars Have Side Effects?

Yes. Some cats experience side effects such as rash, diarrhea, and difficulty breathing. If you notice your cat is experiencing side effects, seek help from a veterinarian.

Flea seasons are typically between Spring to Fall. Fleas are around year-round, but the eggs usually hatch around springtime.

Why do cats and dogs need a different flea treatment?

If you have dogs at home, they may be attempting to use the same flea treatment, and however, you may be putting your pet at risk if you do so. Dog flea treatment uses different chemical ingredients. Therefore, it's important to seek individual treatment.
