Prescription Flea & Tick Medicine For Cats
Flea and tick prevention is an important part of being a great pet parent—these nasty pests are not only a nuisance, they can cause serious and even fatal health problems in your cat. Fortunately, there are highly effective flea and tick preventatives that can protect your cat no matter what adventures she has.
Things to consider when buying prescription flea & tick medication for cats:
- Get the right medication: Flea and tick medications are available as pesticides (which kill pests), repellents (which discourage pests from attaching to your pet), and growth inhibitors (which interfere with the pests' growth cycle). Your vet can recommend which type is right for your cat.
- They don't all target the same pests: Some products only target fleas, while other combination products may target fleas and a variety of tick species and even heartworms. Ask your vet which pests are in your area so you can be confident you're getting the right medication.
- They may interact with other supplements and medications: Always let your vet know all the medications and supplements you give your cat, including over-the-counter supplements.
- Match your product to your cat: These medications are typically dosed based on weight, so make sure the product you choose is the right one for your cat.
- Flea and tick prevention is a year-round effort: Although ticks and fleas thrive in warmer weather, it's best to use preventatives on a year-round basis. Even during winters in cold places, these pests can live in your home.
- Your vet can help: The market is loaded with flea and tick preventatives, from dips to shampoos to prescription combination medications. It can be confusing to figure out what's best for your cat, but no worries: your vet can help! Your vet will be happy to help you find the best product.
Flea and tick medications are typically administered as a topical liquid you apply to your cat's skin directly or as tablets that you can mix with food or treats. Many pet parents find that their cat tolerates the tablets better, but your vet can help you pick the right form.

Frequently Asked Questions about Prescription Flea & Tick Medicine For Cats
How do I get cat flea and tick medication prescriptions online at Chewy Pharmacy?

What prescription cat flea and tick treatment is best?
The best prescription flea and tick treatment will vary by the age, health, lifestyle and habits of your cat and can best be determined by your vet. Popular brands include Comfortis, Advantage Multi, Revolution and Bravecto, but there are many others that may uniquely suit your situation. Many come as once-a-month topicals or chewable tablet doses for easy use. Check out some of the great reviews on our site to learn more about which ones might be best for your bestie!
What is the difference between over-the-counter and prescription flea and tick medication?
The difference between over-the-counter and prescription 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, what may be safest and what will be most convenient for you.
How do cat flea treatments work?
Cat flea treatments work in different ways depending on which product you use. Prescription oral and topical flea treatments usually work by depositing chemicals into your cat’s sebaceous glands. These chemicals then spread out over the body as your kitty’s coat lubricates itself, neutralizing fleas and ticks by acting on their central nervous system. This prevents them from feeding on your feline and causing irritation, itch, parasites and disease.
How do I set up Autoship for my prescription cat flea and tick medicine?
To set up Autoship for your prescription flea and tick medicine, select the Autoship option at checkout and choose how often you want it delivered. Once you set up Autoship, you can cancel or change your deliveries 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. You’ll always have your prescription cat medicines on hand when you choose Autoship from Chewy!
