I found a tick on Gracie last week. I delay applying flea medicine for as long as I can. I hate those chemicals, but you must use them at some point.
If you are a new pet owner, I offer a few words of advice. Read the box carefully. Some canine flea medicines are highly toxic to cats. You may need to keep your dog away until the medicine dries or use a different product altogether if your cat grooms your dog. (It is highly unlikely Kiki will EVER groom Gracie.)
Also, be careful about dosage. Make sure you apply the right dosage for your pet’s weight. Do not use multiple products. I once used two medicines too close together and made my Dalmatian very ill. I once knew someone who caused the death of her cat because she applied flea medicine too frequently.
If you are confused about the right product to buy, give your vet a call. Good luck!
