RSPCA FleaAway 50 mg Spot-On Solution for Cats

Fleas from pets often infest the animal's basket, bedding and regular resting
areas such as carpets and soft furnishings which should be treated, in case of
massive infestation and at the beginning of the control measures, with a
suitable insecticide and vacuumed regularly.
The product does not prevent ticks from attaching to the animals. If the animal
has been treated prior to exposure to the ticks, the tick will be killed in the first
24-48 hours after attachment. This will usually be prior to engorgement,
minimising but not excluding the risk of transmission of diseases. Once dead,
ticks will often drop off the animal, but any remaining ticks may be removed with
a gentle pull.
No data on the effect of bathing/shampooing on the efficacy of the product in
cats are available. However, based on information available for dogs, weekly
immersion in water for one minute reduces the period of persistent insecticidal
efficacy against fleas by one week.
For optimum control of flea problems in a multi-pet household, all dogs and cats
in the household should be treated with a suitable insecticide.
