Prescription Topical Flea & Tick Treatment for Cats

Help keep biting pests off your furry friend with topical flea and tick medication. Chewy carries many types of topical flea medicine, topical tick medicine, and non-prescription topical flea and tick products, too. Most topicals are designed to kill both fleas and ticks and to provide continuous protection over several weeks.

Before you buy prescription cat topical flea & tick medication online at Chewy, be sure to research your different flea control options and talk to your vet. The best flea & tick medication will be easy to administer, suited to your cat’s lifestyle, and effective for the climate you live in, and topicals can be a great choice. Your vet can advise you on whether a prescription topical product, an oral product or a non-prescription flea and tick treatment would be best. If you have a very young cat, you should talk to your veterinarian about prescription topical flea & tick medicine for kittens and whether it might be a good choice for your furry friend.

If you choose a topical flea control medicine, using it is fairly easy: simply apply the solution to the skin on the back of your cat’s neck—so she can’t easily scratch or lick it off—and you’re done. Most prescription flea topicals for cats offer long-lasting pest deterrence that can last for a month or more and they’re usually water-resistant, too.

Many topicals also contain worm medicine, preventing and treating parasites like roundworms, hookworms and more. As an alternative to topicals, some cat parents like the idea of oral flea & tick medication, but they are only a good choice if your cat will eat chewable tablets or submit to being pilled. The Chewy pet pharmacy has many of the medicines your vet might prescribe for your pets, including flea & tick medication for dogs, prescription cat medicine and everything else you might need.
