How to choose drops from ticks for cats and cats

Often, when it comes to furry pets, we are much pickier in choosing products for them than for ourselves. Especially if we are worried about their health. After all, the animal cannot say that he did not like something, and we can only worry about him. That is why we always choose all kinds of medicines and protective equipment for our pets so carefully and meticulously.

What should you pay attention to when buying drops from ticks for cats and cats? First of all, they should have a minimum of contraindications. If the instructions say that in no case should the product be allowed to get into the animal’s mouth, it is better to beware, because cats are so flexible that, trying to get rid of the foreign smell, they will reach anywhere.

And by the way, about the smell. Unfortunately, many drops on the withers have a rather unpleasant amber, which, after application, irritates not only the cat, but also its owners, so it is better to opt for a drug that has no smell at all.

And, of course, before buying, you should carefully study the reviews of other cat owners and the rating of drops from ticks for cats and cats from KP.
