Wearing flea traps for long periods of time is harmful to cats. Although cat flea traps can repel fleas, flea traps are highly toxic, so it is not recommended for cats to wear them for a long time, and it is not recommended for cats under 12 months of age, otherwise they may cause poisoning in cats. It is generally recommended that owners use cat-specific external anthelmintics for deworming once a month. In addition, the cat also needs to be dewormed internally, which usually needs to be done once every 3 months.
Notes on using flea traps for cats:
1. First, choose products produced by regular manufacturers. If financial conditions permit, you can choose to import cat flea collars.
2. Secondly, it cannot be used on kittens because their livers, kidneys and other organs are underdeveloped and are more susceptible to poisoning.
3. Before using the cat flea collar, you must open the package and place it in a ventilated place for about 24 to 48 hours. For products with a particularly strong flavor, leave them for longer.
4. Pay close attention to the cat’s reaction within a week after wearing the flea collar, including whether the appetite is normal, whether there are any mental changes, whether there is salivation, and whether the skin at the wearing site is abnormal. If the cat appears abnormal, take off the flea collar immediately and take it to the animal hospital for treatment.
