If your British Longhair is not on a flea and tick preventative program, please call your vet to schedule an appointment right away. If you’re not sure, give your vet a call to find out. Chances are, your vet has already prescribed a program for your cat. If not, talk to him about the plans available. There are so many options and brands available that you will most likely need your vet’s assistance in finding not only the most effective one, but the safest one too. For instance, if your British Longhair has digestive or stomach sensitivity, ask your vet about a topical treatment rather than oral pills as these may cause stomach upset and irritation. However, if your British Longhair is prone to skin allergies, you may want to consider the oral pills. Ask fellow British Longhair owners what they use and always talk it over with your veterinarian Oconomowoc, WI.
