Flea and Worm Treatment for Cats

It comes down to how you (and your cat) prefer to dose. Flea ointment for cats, like Advocate for Cats Over 4kg, is applied topically between the shoulder blades and absorbs through the skin.

Tablets like Drontal All Wormer Cat Tablets 4kg are oral and target internal worms. Some products treat both, but your cat’s health and habits matter — always seek vet advice when choosing.

Most flea and worm treatments for cats need monthly dosing, but some last longer. For example, Bravecto Plus Large Cats 6.25–12.5kg offers up to 2 months of flea protection and monthly worming. Schedules vary by product and your cat’s lifestyle — check labels carefully and talk to your vet for a plan that suits.

Young cats need gentler formulations — and accurate dosing is crucial. A great choice for little ones is Neovet for Kittens and Small Cats Up To 4kg, which covers both fleas and worms in one easy monthly spot-on.

If your kitten’s under 8 weeks, or you’re unsure about timing, it’s best to chat with your vet before starting any flea treatment for cats.

You bet. There are combo products made just for this, like Revolution Plus Medium Cats 2.6-5kg. It tackles fleas, ticks, heartworm, and intestinal worms in one monthly dose. It’s a convenient choice if your cat hates tablets or you want to simplify your schedule — but always confirm suitability with your vet, especially for older or immunocompromised cats.

If your cat bolts at the sight of a pill bottle, a spot-on might be easier. If they’re a wriggler who hates liquid, a chew or tablet might work better. For example, NexGard SPECTRA Spot On For Cats 0.8-2.4kg is a simple, broad-spectrum topical that covers fleas, ticks, and most worms — great for cats who won’t swallow tablets but still need full coverage.

Yes — fleas can hitch a ride in on clothing, other pets, or even screens. And worms can come from things like raw food, potting soil, or shared litter trays. Even fully indoor cats benefit from routine protection like Revolution For Cats 2.6-7.5kg. If in doubt, ask your vet what makes sense for your cat’s environment.

Yes — and dosage matters here. Drontal All Wormer Large Cat Tablets 6kg is designed for bigger cats and includes worming coverage across roundworm, hookworm, and tapeworm.

For flea control, you’ll want to pair it with a suitable cat flea treatment or choose a combo product formulated for larger cats.

If tablets are a no-go, look for spot-on worming cat treatments like Advocate for Kittens and Small Cats Up To 4kg. It protects against heartworm and intestinal worms — no tablets, no fuss. Just a quick squeeze between the shoulder blades once a month.

Most cat flea medications start working within 12–24 hours — some even sooner. For instance, Neovet for Cats Over 4kg starts killing fleas fast and keeps working all month. For best results, always follow instructions carefully, and if fleas stick around, your vet may recommend treating the home environment too.

When used correctly, yes — but long-term use should always be guided by your vet. Products like Bravecto Spot On Medium Cats are designed for repeat monthly use, but factors like age, weight, and medical history matter. When in doubt? You guessed it — talk to your vet.
