Fleas are a common problem for cats and can cause serious irritation.
They are small wingless insects that bite cats (and other animals) to feed. A single flea can bite up to 400 times a day.
This can cause our cats to feel very itchy and, in some cases, cats are allergic to the saliva in the flea bite and the reaction is more severe - this is known as Flea Allergic Dermatitis.
Fleas can also transmit diseases like tapeworm and Bartonella when they bite, therefore making protecting your pet against them very important.
