I noticed a tick on my puppy and was able to get it off completely and it looks like a lone star tick. I have 2 cats who stay inside (other than briefly running past me when I open the back door for the dogs). I cant find any flea/tick preventative for cats that mentions it kills lone star ticks. only deer ticks and brown dog ticks. Is there a treatment for cats that kills lone star ticks? I haven't noticed any on my cats but I want to treat everyone.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Andromeda. I recommend that she sees her veterinarian. You can take the tick if you still have it and discuss tick species in your area. I believe Feline Revolution Plus will cover brown dog ticks. I hope this information helps!
