FleaScreen Combo Spot-on Solution
If you have to get rid of cat fleas, the prevention and the cure are just as important. Even if you’ve managed to stop the infestation, you’ll need to prevent a flea outbreak from happening again. With Fleascreen Combo Spot-on solution for cats, you can make sure both parts of the job are done properly. More information on preventing cat fleas can be found in our Pet Health Hub.
FleaScreen Combo is a spot-on treatment that is applied between the shoulder blades. It is suitable for use in households with both cats and dogs. Always read the label and prevent other pets from licking the treatment – consider separation. Flea treatment is available in one size for cats weighing 1-8kg. For the best results, all animals in the house should be treated with a suitable flea treatment ideally every 4 weeks. Continuous regular treatments help prevent fleas from finding their way onto your pet’s fur and their eggs being distributed throughout the house. Fleas from cats and dogs can infest the animal’s bedding or other areas where they often go. Regular vacuuming and the use of a suitable household spray may be needed if there is a heavy flea infestation.
*Please do not bathe your dog or allow them to swim for at least 48 hours after application. Water can wash the product off, causing it to be less effective. Additionally, the product can wash into the environment and cause unintended harm to aquatic insects. If your dog is a frequent swimmer or needs regular bathing, a tablet flea and tick product may be more suitable.*
Controlling Fleas
Controlling fleas is only part of protecting your pet and your family against harmful parasites. Provide your pet with effective flea and worm treatments regularly, to combat external parasites such as fleas and internal parasites like the roundworm Toxocara canis that can be passed to humans. Regular treatments help break the lifecycles of these parasites, helping to keep your pet and your family healthy and pest free. For more in depth information on cat fleas, including symptoms and causes, please visit the following page on our Pet Health Hub.
Warnings
Only use FleaScreen Combo for cats if your cat is aged 8 weeks or older, and weighs more than 1kg. Do not use if your cat is sick or recovering from an illness. Do not use if your cat has a hypersensitivity to the active ingredients or any of the ingredients. Do not apply on wounded or damaged skin. Do not use on rabbits, as adverse reactions including death can occur.

Applying Flea Treatment
Special instructions: Always use as directed. Before use, read the package leaflet for full instructions and all warnings, including user warnings. Hold the pipette in an upright position, twist and pull the cap off. Turn the cap around and place the other end of the cap back on the pipette. Push and twist the cap to break the seal, then remove the cap from the pipette.
Part the coat on the back of the animal at the base of the neck in front of the shoulder blades until the skin is visible. Place the tip of the pipette onto the skin and squeeze the pipette several times to empty its contents completely and directly onto the skin in one spot. Do not reapply more often than at four weekly intervals. It is important to make sure that the product is applied to an area where the animal cannot lick it off and to make sure that animals do not lick each other following treatment.
This product will treat fleas, ticks and lice that live on your pet! Just make sure you apply it to your pets skin on the back of their neck (where they can't reach) every 4 weeks and don't bathe your pet for a few days afterwards, so it doesn't wash off. Remember, 50 fleas on your pet can mean up to a thousand fleas or eggs in your house! So for best results make sure to treat your home too, using a flea house spray.
Be Spot-on Aware
Flea and tick spot-ons are an important way to protect your pet’s health
but how you use them really matters. The way these medicines are applied can
affect how well they work and whether they end up in our waterways and wider environment
Plan – Apply – Protect
Plan – if you need to wash your pet then do it the days before applying medicine, rather than afterwards
Apply – Read the product instructions or visit the Veterinary Medicines Directorate Product Information Database to understand how to apply it right. Part your pet’s fur at the application site(s) until you can see the skin, apply directly to the skin not the fur.
Protect
- Don’t touch the application site until its dry.
- Don’t let your pet swim for at least 4 days after application.
- Try to limit swimming and washing of your pet in the weeks
after application. - Bin used pipettes – don’t rinse them down the sink or recycle.
- Put pet fur from treated animals in the bin, don’t leave it out for nesting birds.
Buying Products Safely
Always buy flea and tick treatments from a reputable source such as your vet, an SQP-registered retailer, a registered online pharmacy, or a pet shop retailer, etc. The VMD has published a list of registered online retailers, which contains all sellers permitted to sell
‘behind-the-counter’ or prescription-only medicines.
Counterfeit and unlicensed products do exist and may not work as intended or could harm your pet. If a product seems unusually cheap or arrives without proper packaging and labelling, treat this as a warning sign.
Keeping your Cat flea free
Spot-on Flea Solutions for Cats
Spot-on flea treatments can help protect cats against fleas, ticks and lice, particularly if they spend time outdoors or live in multi-pet households. They’re commonly used as part of a regular parasite treatment routine to help keep pets protected and help prevent flea infestations in the home.
Available in an easy-to-apply pipette, spot-on flea treatments are applied directly to your cat’s skin, usually between the shoulder blades where they can’t lick it away.
How Spot-on Flea Treatments Support Cats
These parasite treatments are designed to help protect cats by:
- Treating fleas on your cat
- Helping control ticks and biting lice
- Helping prevent flea eggs developing in the home
Some products also help break the flea life cycle, helping reduce flea eggs and larvae in the home when used regularly.
Common Ingredients in Spot-on Flea Treatments
Many spot-on flea treatments for cats include ingredients such as:
- Fipronil to help treat fleas and ticks
- S-Methoprene to help prevent flea eggs developing
- Carrier ingredients that help spread the treatment across the skin
Different products contain different ingredients, and not all flea treatments will be suitable for every cat.
When to Consider a Spot-on Flea Treatment
Spot-on flea treatments may be helpful for:
- Cats that go outdoors
- Homes with ongoing flea problems
- Multi-pet households
- Regular flea prevention as part of routine pet care
Important to Know
Spot-on flea treatments should only be used as directed and are not suitable for all pets. Only use on cats over 8 weeks of age and weighing more than 1kg. Do not apply to damaged skin or use on sick or recovering animals. It is important to prevent pets licking the treatment after application and to avoid bathing your pet for at least 48 hours after use. Regular vacuuming and treatment of the home may also be needed during a flea infestation.
Our vet's advice...
First time using this, was very easy to use and has certainly stopped my cat from scratching.
Four Cats whom I allow outside in my relatively safe environment. They catch those wretched Fleas which they transport into the House where they colonise. Bedding, Carpets, Sofas then you infested. These work alongside their Spray (I used three) and have now subscribed to avoid it ever happening again. Of course, it certainly makes our furry family members suffer in silence if allowed ! Don't allow it, get them frequently treated.
I put it on her, the pests seem to have congregated to her tail it's a terrible mess, Might have to see a vet. Poor baby 🐈
Very good results thank you
Great got the job would buy again
Don’t work at all
good priceand if the PDSA recommend it I am sure it will be good. I also like that the profit from the sale helps other animals.
So far too good. It's only been two weeks.
There is is flees I am getting of my cats
Very good
Really good flea treatment. One of the best I've used so far
Very disappointed did not work even though I treated the whole of the house and washed everything
Great
Not bad
Good flea treatment takes its time to kill them but does work
Coco seems to be fine with it. She's an indoor cat. I used to use the 3 month 1 pipette so this service saves me going to collect the treatment as I have mobility issues
Great flea protection product does exactly what you want - kills the fleas.
Won’t use it again not very good at all
Very soon after i applied the flea treatment on my cats i noticed that they didn’t scratch so much, they have stopped scratching completely now the treatment has started working properly.
Real. Good stufff
Very good service. And product
Amazing keeps fleas away
It works well
Cats hated the smell but it worked
Brill thankd
Ok
Much better than what I was using
I have 11 cats and was struggling to keep on top of the flea situation. I used this once and 9 out of the 11 cats it worked on. I will be ordering again. It has took me a long time and a lot of other flea treatments like frontline, Advantage ect that are more expensive and do not work on my cats. Then I see this and boom fleas be gone. The other 2 cats had significantly less like 1 or 2 instead of loads. Thankyou
Ideal suits my cats thank you
Doesn't work
Very good for the price would recommend it
