Fleas /assets/images/parasite-assets/screener/icons/flea.svg Flea Icon /assets/images/parasite-assets/cat-assets/icons/flea-blue.svg /assets/images/parasite-assets/cat-assets/icons/flea-blue.svg Fleas: Found anywhere, year round – other animals, pets, wildlife, park, home infestations. Fleas can transmit tapeworms. Once flea eggs are laid in the environment, they can hatch later to infest your cat or even bite family members. They can then form larvae on your cat’s skin. It’s better for your cat if your flea protection kills fleas eggs or kills fleas before they have the chance to lay eggs, since this helps prevent your home from becoming infested. Check with your vet that you have fast-acting flea protection. Revolution Plus kills not only adult fleas, but also eggs and larvae, helping to clean up infestation on your cat as well as any flea problem that may be hidden in the environment. Revolution Plus is the most effective dual action monthly spot-on on fleas and mites. Roundworm /assets/images/parasite-assets/screener/icons/roundworms.svg Roundworm Icon /assets/images/parasite-assets/cat-assets/icons/roundworms-blue.svg /assets/images/parasite-assets/cat-assets/icons/roundworms-blue.svg Roundworm is contracted by eating wild animals, from infected faeces or a contaminated environment, which can be anywhere. Hookworm /assets/images/parasite-assets/screener/icons/hookworms.svg Hookworm Icon /assets/images/parasite-assets/cat-assets/icons/hookworms-blue.svg /assets/images/parasite-assets/cat-assets/icons/hookworms-blue.svg Hookworm is transmitted to cats when they ingest infected larvae. This can happen when they drink infected water, groom their feet after walking through contaminated soil or come into contact with contaminated faeces, by ingesting animals/rodents infected with hookworms and even through mother's milk as a kitten. Mites /assets/images/parasite-assets/screener/icons/ear-mites-orange.svg Mites icon /assets/images/parasite-assets/screener/icons/ear-mites-blue.svg /assets/images/parasite-assets/screener/icons/ear-mites-blue.svg Mites - Mites live in your cat’s fur and can cause skin irritations such as scabies and mange, whilst ear mites live in the ear canal and cause a brown discharge that looks like ground coffee. Cats tend to get infected with mites by coming into contact with other infected pets or from their local environment when outside exploring. Mites can continue to live in your cat’s bedding or in carpets within the home, so there is a risk of re-infection. Wash bedding regularly to minimise the risk and use Revolution Plus as a preventative treatment. Heartworm /assets/images/parasite-assets/screener/icons/heartworm.svg Heartworm Icon /assets/images/parasite-assets/screener/icons/heartworm-blue.svg /assets/images/parasite-assets/screener/icons/heartworm-blue.svg Heartworm - Cats can be infected with heartworm through the bite of an infected mosquito. Heartworm disease can be deadly and also take several months to detect. It’s expensive to treat but easy and less expensive to prevent. Ticks /assets/images/parasite-assets/screener/icons/tick.svg Tick icon /assets/images/parasite-assets/cat-assets/icons/tick_blue.svg /assets/images/parasite-assets/cat-assets/icons/tick_blue.svg Ticks are most commonly found in long grass and woodland but some varieties are evident in urban areas and can even infest your home. Certain ticks can act as vectors for specific diseases, meaning that when an infected tick bites the animal they can transmit the disease-causing pathogen, infecting the cat. Among the most significant diseases that infected ticks can cause cats are hemobartonellosis and cytauxzoonosis, which can be fatal. Revolution Plus protects against ticks – including the deadly paralysis tick – for a full month after one dose.
It’s a common misconception that fleas, heatworm, mosquitos and ticks in particular are only a risk in summer. They’re around all year even during cold winters! It’s a common misconception that cats do not need protection in winter. Parasites are still about and active and the home provides an environment in which fleas can thrive, even in winter Cats need year-round protection to avoid being at risk from parasites Cats need year-round protection to avoid being at risk from parasites Correct. Cats need year-round protection to avoid being at risk from parasites Most flea and tick medications are monthly products, though this varies by brand. Speak to your vet or pet retailer about your cat’s risk and the best protection. Combined medication is available that also protects your cat against worms in a single dose. Revolution Plus protects for 35 days, providing added protection even if you are late in providing this for your pet Standalone intestinal worming medication is generally recommended four times a year at three month intervals This is not regular enough to give them ongoing protection.
