You should regularly check your cat for ticks, especially if the animal is allowed outdoors. If you discover a bloodsucker in your cat’s fur, you should remove it carefully and as quickly as possible using regular tweezers or – even better – tick tongs or a tick hook. You can find the right tools in the Maxi Zoo online shop. Your cat may not be very keen on this procedure, so you should try to calm the animal beforehand. If you notice that you have not pulled out the entire tick and a part of the parasite remains in the skin, you should see a veterinarian. Do not under any circumstances use household products such as varnish or oils, as these can have a toxic effect on your cat. Learn more now!
