How to spot flea and tick issues

Even though cats can’t talk, there are a number of ways you can tell there’s a problem.

Itching

Some scratching is normal for cats, but If your cat is scratching regularly, it could be due to an allergic reaction to flea saliva. In addition to causing serious discomfort, fleas can also infect your cat with tapeworms, Bartonella (also known as cat scratch fever or Carrión’s disease), and other flea-borne illnesses that can be serious. A Dutch vet can create a custom treatment plan for your cat to help you get rid of the fleas, prevent future problems, and relieve the itching.

Red bumps or scabs

If your cat’s allergic to flea bites, you may find red bumps or scabs on their body. And because fleas and ticks both suck blood, your cat may get scabs even if they aren’t allergic to the bites. Fleas and ticks can both cause feline infectious anemia, which can be deadly, so prevention and treatment are extremely important. Our virtual vet team is here to help with quick access to advice and prescriptions whenever you need it.

Hair loss

In cases of a severe flea allergy, your cat may have small or large bald patches, typically due to overgrooming the area. This is especially common around the low back or tail. The licensed veterinarians at Dutch can prescribe flea treatments to eliminate your cat’s uninvited guests as well as medications to help soothe their irritated skin for long-term relief.

Tiny black specks or visible fleas

If you run your fingers or a flea comb through your cat’s fur, you may see fleas themselves or tiny black specks (aka flea dirt), which is actually flea excrement. Fleas tend to prefer the back part of pets, especially by the tail, so start looking in this area. If you find evidence of fleas on your cat, one of our online vets can prescribe a monthly medication to kill off the critters and prevent future infestations — without you having to leave home.

Visible tick

Have an outdoor cat? Check them for ticks regularly by running your fingers through their fur and feeling for small round bumps. Ticks can carry diseases which can cause ongoing health issues for your cat. Our licensed veterinarians are available online to guide you on what to do if you find a tick on your cat as well as prescribe medication to prevent fleas and ticks in the future.

When booking a video call with a vet, you'll be asked a few questions about your pet’s health issue. Depending on the issue, you may also be asked to fill out a longer questionnaire about their symptoms and share photographs of them so our veterinarians can better understand what’s going on. You’ll then pick an appointment time that works best for you.

During your video call, one of our licensed veterinarians will talk to you about the symptoms your pet is experiencing, ask you questions, review your pet’s medical history if you’ve provided it, and answer any questions you have. The vet will ask to see your pet and their environment. And they may ask you to perform some simple checks on them if needed.

After your video call, the vet will send you a message with a custom treatment plan to help your pet feel better, including a link to buy any recommended prescription or over-the-counter medications. Place your order and we’ll ship it free.

Our vets can provide care and prescriptions for more than 150 issues — and over 90% of cases can be treated virtually. 

The vet can diagnose your pet based on your description of their symptoms, their medical history, seeing them during your video call, and, if needed, through uploaded photos and videos. They may ask you to do a few simple checks during the call. We also offer a number of at-home lab test kits for dogs and cats.

The health and safety of pets is our top priority. In the rare case that a vet determines a pet needs to go to a local clinic, they’ll provide a referral and offer advice on how to care for them until they can be seen. 

Some things that require in-person care include emergencies, wounds that need stitches, and issues that require blood work, imaging (X-rays or ultrasounds), or surgery.

Our vets are always available for second opinions and follow-up care after in-person vet visits — so you don’t have to navigate health issues alone.

Our memberships are designed to make your pet’s care as easy and affordable as possible. Here’s how your costs will break down:

Membership: You can choose to pay the total price upfront or in 4 installments. All memberships include unlimited care for up to 5 pets at no extra cost.

Vet calls and messaging: No cost — video chat and message with vets as often as you need for free.
