Sky EC MiteCare™ Spot-On for Cats is a broad-spectrum monthly parasite protection solution formulated with Selamectin 6% w/v to provide comprehensive defence against both external and internal parasites. This easy-to-apply topical treatment effectively controls ticks, fleas, ear mites, biting lice, roundworms, hookworms, and helps prevent heartworm disease in cats.
Unlike conventional flea treatments, MiteCare™ works by killing adult fleas while preventing flea eggs and larvae from developing, breaking the flea life cycle and helping reduce environmental infestations. The systemic action of Selamectin is absorbed through the skin and provides continuous protection for up to 30 days with a single application.
MiteCare™ is suitable for kittens 8 weeks of age and older, as well as adult cats. It is an ideal monthly preventive for indoor and outdoor cats, offering complete parasite management in one convenient spot-on application. Whether your cat needs routine flea prevention, ear mite treatment, or protection against heartworm disease, MiteCare™ delivers veterinarian-recommended broad-spectrum coverage.
