Vet Q & A
Outdoor cat eats rats. Best flea/worm prevention & heartworm test?
Cats do not require heartworm test prior to these medications. Drontal is a good idea to use with these as it covers tapeworms and those products do not. I like advantage multi as I feel it protects against fleas better

Since you have cats it’s best to get Sunny on an oral flea preventative, such as Bravecto, Nexgard, Simparica, Comfortis or Trifexis (flea and heartworm preventative. Best wishes keeping those fleas at bay with Sunny. Take care.

Vet Q & A
What dewormer should I use for my 10-month-old British Shorthair cat?
Good question. So the Heartgard is more of a preventative heartworm and intestinal worm prevention that you should give once a month to protect your pet. The one on the left (Bayer) is only going to treat your pet for tapeworms if he is currently infected. Tapeworms are easily seen in the stool because they are big and look like little white rice or fried rice when dried up. If not seen, then I would stick with the preventative Heartgard for now. I hope that this is helpful information for your furry friend Keke moving forward! Best wishes and take care. : )

My cat has fleas, Sentry failed. What's a fast, safe flea treatment?
Over the counter Hartz and Sentry products do not work. I suggest you get prescription strength flea medications. You can easily get these medications from one of our VETCO clinics inside Petco stores. Here are the ones in your area: ( https://www.vetcoclinics.com/services-and-clinics/clinic-locations-and-schedules/?zip=77081 ) Take the cats with you. It is first come, first serve and there is no exam fee so just the cost of the products. The vet there can advise you when you can give the new product based on when you applied the other product. You also need to treat your house and yard (if you have one for fleas). I suggest these products: ( https://www.allivet.com/p-1389-knockout-es-area-treatment.aspx ) ( https://www.allivet.com/p-9065-vet-kem-yard-spray-32-oz.aspx?SearchTerm=yard%20spray+Auto ) Hope this helps. Best wishes.

Does my elderly indoor cat in Georgia still need heartworm meds?
Yes, I would continue to give Chloe the heartworm medication. There are lots of mosquitoes in Georgia, and since mosquitoes can easily enter the home and cause her infection, it's best to continue this prevention. You can't tell if a specific mosquito is infected or not, and at her age a heartworm infection would be very tough on her physically. For her health, my opinion is to continue the preventative :-)
