Can an indoor cat with a Seresto collar still get fleas?

Question

I have a cat and I was wondering, even though she is wearing the seresto collar, is it possible for her to still get fleas? She’s also an indoor cat. Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Female | spayed | 1 year and 9 months old | 11 lbs

There is always a low percentage of pets that can still get fleas after starting any flea medication. Also just know that the flea has to come in contact with the product in order to die, so you may see a few dead fleas on her, which is normal. However, with all that said, the risk of her getting fleas is very low while she is actively on flea medication and kept inside. Thanks for visiting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach and I hope things continue to go well for your pet Mimi. Take care!
