Question
I have a long hair cat. He had a flea problem, but we have been using Advantage and the problem seems to be OK now. He has been scratching his fur off however and we don't know why. He has several patches that he has scratched or chewed off. Do you know what could be causing it and what we could do to stop it?

Answer
Deborah - I can help - Yes, he may be allergic to the past flea bites.
You can find a hot spot spray at your local pet store - The TEA tree oil sprays are great.

Also, I would love for your cat kid to take this supplement each day - NuVET Feline - this will repair the skin and help to fight off any allergens..
here is the link to order (  not sold in stores)

ALSO , Pets that take NuVET Plus have less bugs - the bugs jump right OFF of them - They don't like how the pet's blood tastes..
A healthy pet will not get many fleas and ticks.

BEST of luck..
