Flea & Worming

Warmer months especially bring a higher risk of fleas, ticks, and other parasites, so it’s a good idea to think about your pet's protection. Preventive care is safer, easier, and more comfortable for your pet than treating an infestation later on. For many pets, flea & worming treatments form an essential part of routine healthcare.

Not all pets need year-round treatment

We believe not all pets need year-round treatment. We're actively talking with clients about when flea, tick and worming treatments are actually necessary, as blanket monthly treatments aren’t always required.

Flea & Worming

Steps to take if your pet has fleas

Step 1

Treat your pet — and any other pets at home

Even if only one of your pets seems affected, it’s important to treat all the cats and dogs in your household. Fleas spread easily between animals. Use a vet-recommended flea treatment that’s right for your pet’s species, weight and age — we’re happy to help if you’re not sure what to go for.

Step 2

Wash your pet’s bedding and soft furnishings


Fleas and their eggs can live in fabrics. Pop your pet’s bedding, blankets and any washable covers from sofas or beds into the washing machine on a hot cycle — 60°C if the fabric allows — then dry thoroughly.

Step 3

Vacuum thoroughly — and often


Vacuum carpets, rugs, floors, and upholstered furniture as well as any nooks your pet likes to curl up in daily for at least two weeks. Flea eggs, larvae, and pupae can hide in cracks and fibres. Empty the vacuum cleaner outside immediately after each use.

Step 4

Treat your home too


Most fleas live in the environment, not on your pet — so treating your home with a household flea spray is an important step. Pay close attention to carpets, skirting boards, and underneath furniture. You can find suitable sprays at pet shops, online, or we can recommend one we trust. Always follow the instructions and make sure pets and kids stay out of the room until it’s fully dry.

Step 5

Keep up with regular prevention


Once things are under control, the best way to stop fleas coming back is to stick to a regular flea treatment routine. Fleas have a long life cycle and can lie low for a while — so even when you think they’re gone, it’s worth staying one step ahead.

What are the signs my pet may have worms?

Common signs to look out for are diarrhoea and/or bloody stools, vomiting or signs of nausea, a bloated stomach, and noticeable weight loss. If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s a good idea to get your pet checked — early treatment can help prevent complications.

How can I tell if my pet has fleas?

Common signs include excessive scratching, hair loss, and tiny black specks in their fur. In some cases, you might also see live fleas moving through their coat. If you notice any of these signs, it's worth checking in with your vet for advice on the best treatment.

Do indoor cats need flea and worm treatment?

It depends on your individual situation, but in general, indoor cats are at lower risk than those who spend time outside. You likely won’t need to treat as regularly — for many indoor cats, once a year may be enough. That said, fleas and worm eggs can still be brought into the home on shoes, clothing, or other pets, so there is always a small risk. If you're unsure what's right for your cat, we’re happy to offer personalised advice.

How often does my pet need flea and worm treatment?

This will depend on which treatment your pet is on as most treatments protect for various time frames.
