Essential oil diffusers may smell pleasant to us, but some oils can be harmful to cats.

Because cats groom themselves frequently, oils that settle on their fur, paws, or nearby surfaces can be ingested over time. Cats also process certain compounds differently than people, making them more sensitive to some essential oils.

Fleas are more than just itchy and annoying- help your pets stay safe by using flea prevention. Fleas can cause painful skin irritation, allergic reactions, anemia, and even transmit parasites like tapeworms. Once fleas make their way into your home, they can be difficult to eliminate.

Most healthy cats don't need routine ear cleaning. In fact, cleaning your cat's ears too often can cause irritation. Instead, check them periodically for redness, swelling, a bad odor, excessive wax, or discharge.

If you notice any of these signs or your cat is scratching at their ears or shaking their head frequently, it's time for a veterinary visit.

Have questions about your cat's ear health? Call (561) 686-6033.
