Flea & Tick Pills For Cats
Flea and tick pills for cats offer fast-acting treatment for ongoing infestations and long-term protection against future recurrences. Some pills start killing adult fleas and ticks in as little as six hours and may offer up to 30 days of continuous protection. If you find topical preventives difficult to administer or your cat has sensitive skin, chewable flea and tick pills could be a better solution. Here are some factors to consider when shopping for flea and tick pills for cats:
- Age: Refer to the product page for age restrictions on cats and kittens
- Weight: Choose a formula appropriate for your cat's weight range
- Active ingredients: Most products contain spinosad or lotilaner as the primary active ingredient
- Frequency: Follow your vet's advice regarding dosage and frequency of administration
Consult your veterinarian before using flea and tick pills for cats. While products designed to treat active infestations may not require a prescription, preventive products often do. It's important to choose an active ingredient and dosage that's appropriate for your individual cat. Once you and your vet decide on the best flea and tick pill for your cat, add it to your Chewy Autoship and start receiving regular deliveries right to your door.
Frequently Asked Questions about Flea & Tick Pills For Cats
Can cats take flea and tick pills?
Yes, cats can take flea and tick pills as long as they are specifically formulated for cats. Dog flea and tick pills may contain active ingredients or dosages that are toxic to cats.
How do flea and tick pills for cats work?
Flea and tick pills for cats work by absorbing into the cat's bloodstream after the pill is ingested. From the bloodstream, active ingredients in the pill travel to the sebaceous glands in your cat's skin to be spread across their coat. When fleas and ticks bite, they're killed by the active ingredients.
How long do cat flea and tick pills last?
Most flea and tick pills for cats deliver at least 30 days of continuous protection. Some formulas last up to three months, depending on the active ingredients. Follow your vet's advice and the manufacturer's recommendations regarding the frequency of administration.
Do I need a prescription for flea and tick pills for cats?
You may need a prescription for flea and tick pills for cats, depending on the formulation. Short-acting formulas designed to treat active infestations are available over the counter, but stronger formulas intended for long-lasting prevention generally require a prescription.

What prescription cat oral flea and tick treatment is best?

Comfortis is a popular choice for oral flea protection, but there are others that may suit your situation, as well. Check out some of the customer reviews on our site to learn about all the flea and tick treatments we carry!
What is the difference between over-the-counter and prescription oral flea and tick medication?
The difference between over-the-counter and prescription oral flea and tick medication is that you need a vet to prescribe the latter. The ingredients in prescription medications are more carefully controlled and regulated, so dosing can be more precise and possibly safer. Many prescription treatments are more effective than over-the-counter products, as well. Your vet can give you the most up-to-date information on what works well and what may be a good choice for your cat.
What are the differences between cat oral flea and tick pills and chewable tablets?
The differences between oral flea and tick pills and chewable tablets include flavoring and best methods of administration. Oral flea and tick pills usually do not contain flavoring. To administer these, you can either use your regular method for pilling your cat, hide them in a treat, or crush and sprinkle them on food. Chewable tablets are usually flavored, larger than ordinary pills, and designed to be eaten by the cat like a treat. If your cat is difficult to pill and finicky about chewable tablets, you may want to try a topical flea treatment.
How do I set up Autoship for my prescription cat oral flea and tick medicine?
To set up Autoship for your prescription oral flea and tick medicine, select the Autoship option at checkout and choose how often you want deliveries. Once you set up Autoship, you can cancel or change it any time you want. You must have a valid prescription or remaining refills on file for Autoship pharmacy deliveries to occur. If we do not have a prescription, or if your prescription is expiring soon, one of our team members will reach out to your vet to obtain all the necessary information. Never run out of your prescription oral flea and tick medicine with Autoship from Chewy!
