Flea control for smooth coated cats in New Zealand

Introduction

Smooth coats make fleas easier to spot, but itchy bites still bother sensitive skin. A reliable spot on routine and a light weekly clean protect your cat without fuss.

Build a dependable routine

Choose a monthly spot on or a longer acting option and apply on the same date each month. Treat every cat in the home on the same day so you do not leave gaps. Recheck weight every couple of months to stay in the correct band.

Application that actually reaches the skin

Part the coat to clean, dry skin and apply high on the neck where your cat cannot lick. Keep housemates that groom each other apart until the site is dry. Apply on a calm day after a meal and reward with a treat.

Quick checks that help

• Run a flea comb along the neck and tail base

• Look for black grit on a damp tissue

• Brush lightly to lift loose hair so skin can breathe

Home basics

Vacuum rugs, sofa seams and cat trees and empty the vacuum outside. Hot wash blankets and beds and dry thoroughly. Keep this weekly for three months if you have seen fleas.
