Frontline is a good choice of flea medication to use on your cat. This is because Frontline also protects against ticks. It is fast-acting, and when used on a regular basis can prevent your cat from being infected with fleas. When your vet sends you home with Frontline you will want to be sure you know how to apply it.
Things You'll Need
- Scissors
- Soap and water
Instructions
Place your cat on your lap or have the cat sit on a family member's lap.
Feel for the cat's shoulder blades. You can find them at the base of the cat's neck. This is where you will apply the Frontline. This is so the cat cannot lick it off in this particular spot.
Open the Frontline package and cut the tip off of the tube.
Part your cat's fur at the base of the neck and squeeze the entire tube in that one spot.
Let your cat go.
Immediately wash your hands with soap and water and throw away the Frontline applicator and packaging.
Wait at least 24 hours before you give your cat a bath if you feel it needs one.
