The composition includes insecticides, which are not dangerous for warm-blooded animals and are easily applied. On sale there are preparations designed only for adult animals, there are also designed only for kittens.
How to properly drip flea drops to cats
In order to rid the animal of parasites with the help of good modern means, the hair of a cat or cat is pushed apart at the withers, the drug is dripped in the right amount and rubbed into the skin with your fingers for greater reliability.

Some flea drops should be distributed along the spine to several points - this allows you to achieve a more pronounced effect. The number of drops that need to be applied to the cat's hair will vary from product to product.
Flea drops are almost always helpful. Rare failures may be because, for example, the animal has been in the rain after using the product. Then the drug is washed off before it can be absorbed.
Precautions
When using flea drops, be sure to ensure that they do not get into the animal's nose, eyes or mouth. If this does happen, the affected organ must be thoroughly rinsed with water. When choosing a drug, one must also remember that many of them are intended for processing only an adult animal; separate drops are produced for small kittens.
If the cat still licks drops, it is necessary to carefully monitor its condition.
