Protecting your kitten and family from parasites
Kittens are susceptible to parasites from birth, as they provide a warm and nutritious environment. Additionally, cats in New Zealand enjoy hunting, grooming, and exploring, which increases their exposure to fleas, worms, and other parasites.
Cats love to bring home their catch or explore the neighborhood, gardens, and parks where other animals have been, which can lead to problems with fleas and other parasites. This is especially true in Malaysia, where the warm and wet weather, along with better home insulation, allows fleas to thrive all year round.
Numerous pest control products are available, but their effectiveness varies. The most convenient and effective approach is to use a gentle monthly spot-on like NexGard® COMBO, which treats both internal and external parasites. Unlike collars and pills, NexGard® COMBO causes no stress to you or your cat.
Are these pests REALLY a problem?
Yes, parasites can cause discomfort and diseases for your pet and can be fatal if left untreated. Prevention is always better than cure as it may be too late to prevent an infestation once you see fleas on your pet. Additionally, it can take up to three months to eliminate an established infestation.
