B) Flea prevention – Program injection ( once every 6 months)
Fleas are a nuisance. Once in your home they
are difficult to get rid of. Program
injections given every 6 months are an effective way to prevent flea
infestations.
If you have an active infestation, we
recommend advocate monthly for 3 months to kill fleas and stop the lifecycle.
In order to stop fleas you must ensure there are no fleas in the house. We
advise the use of indorex spray if
you have fleas in your home!!
C) Worm treatment –Milbemax
Milbemax is a broad spectrum
wormer. Unlike many wormers purchased over the counter, milbemax is effective
in killing all types of kitten and cat worms. It is safe from 6 weeks of age.
(For those who struggle with tablets, profender
spot on wormer is available).
We advise milbemax treatment once monthly
until 6 months of age.
From 6 months old, we advise milbemax every
3 months.
D) Diet – Andersons Kitten Food
Our Andersons kitten food is a high quality,
palatable, gluten free hypoallergenic diet.
We aim to provide a well priced high quality
diet for your pet.
We advise dry food as a staple diet to
promote healthy teeth and good digestive function. Please ask for a sample.
Our adult food comes in chicken and salmon
flavours!
E)Spay/Neuter
We recommend to spay/neuter your pet from 6
months of age. Neutering a male cat at an early age will prevent spraying.
Spaying a female cat will prevent hormonal uterine infections (pyometra).
F) Microchipping – recommended at the
time of 2nd vaccination or at time of spay/neuter (whilst they are
asleep!)
G) Insurance
When choosing a plan we advise a life cover
policy. If your pet falls ill with an ongoing affliction a life cover policy
will cover your pet for the whole term of affliction, rather than a year long
policy.
Some recommended insurance companies – Agria, Pet plan, Direct line.
