Okay, so Zissou and I go for walks on her leash a few times a week. There is a field behind our apartment and also we just walk down through the buildings. Anyway, as it's spring now, does she need flea/tick treatment for this? She rolls around on the grass, runs through bushes, etc. The only other cats here are two that people in the apartments behind us let out who look very well cared for and healthy, but there are rabbits, black squirrels, etc. I don't think its quite flea season yet here.
So, do you guys think I need to get her a prescription flea/tick/mite treatment? I see no reason for it aside from these encounters with the outdoors, is that enough?
We're not a super-heavy area for ticks, but they are around. I'm more concerned about that than the fleas, as I have some of the diatomaceous earth that I'd rather use and have found to be more effective than anything else.
