Yes, Indoor Cats Need Pest Protection Too — Here’s Why
I used to think indoor cats didn’t need flea or tick protection — until I adopted a dog.
My dog goes outside several times a day, and despite being on preventives, he can still carry in the occasional hitchhiker. Mosquitoes sneak in too, and yes, they can give indoor cats heartworm.
That’s when I asked a vet: Should I treat my indoor cat for pests monthly?
The answer: Absolutely.
🐾 Recommended vet-prescribed options:
💊 Bravecto topical – lasts 12 weeks
💊 Revolution Plus – monthly, covers fleas, ticks, heartworms, and more
🐾 Good over-the-counter options:
💊 Frontline Gold – monthly, flea/tick only
💊 Seresto collar – long-lasting, odorless, flea/tick protection
If your cat isn’t already on a preventive, now’s the time to start. Ragdolls like mine might be chill, but parasites don’t care how laid-back your cat is.
Better safe than itchy — or worse.
