Tick, Flea, and Worm Protection for Your Feline Friend

At Maggie and Marlow, we know that keeping your kitty safe from parasites is an important part of keeping them healthy and happy. Parasites like fleas, ticks, and worms are around all year, so regular prevention is key to keeping your cat – and your home – pest-free. With the right protection, you can keep the whole family safe and sound.

Our Pet Health for Life Plan makes year-round tick, flea, and worm prevention easy. Plus, it’s just one of the many ways we help you keep your cat healthy without breaking the bank.

 

Ticks – Tiny Pests, Big Trouble

Ticks may be small, but they can cause big problems. These eight-legged critters hide in long grass and woodlands, waiting to latch onto your cat. Ticks can spread diseases and cause irritation, so it’s important to check for them regularly. They love to settle around the head and ears, making them hard to spot in thick fur.

Prevention is always better than cure, and we’ve got plenty of products to help protect your cat from ticks. If you do spot one, give us a call – our team is here to help remove it safely.

Fleas – Persistent Little Hitchhikers

Fleas are a year-round nuisance, and even one flea can lead to a full-blown infestation. They thrive in warm, cosy places like carpeted homes, feeding on your cat’s blood and laying eggs that can hatch for months, or even years. If you notice your cat scratching or see small scabs, it might be time to check for fleas.

Treating fleas means more than just looking after your cat – we’ll also help you make sure your home is protected. We offer a range of long-term flea control solutions to keep your furry friend comfy and itch-free.

Worms – Hidden but Harmful

While the thought of worms might make you squirm, they’re more common than you think. Cats can get tapeworms from eating fleas, or roundworms from their environment. Though not life-threatening, worms can cause weight loss, diarrhoea, and irritation. Year-round prevention is the best way to keep these pesky parasites away.

Our team can recommend the right worming treatment for your cat’s needs, based on their lifestyle and any symptoms.

Do Indoor Cats Need Parasite Prevention, Too?

Yes, they do! Even if your cat stays indoors, fleas can sneak in on clothes or bags, and worms can be transmitted in other ways. Keeping up with regular prevention is the best way to ensure your indoor cat stays healthy.

Let's work together to protect your cat from parasites – because every purr and playful paw deserves the best care.
