If they are coming in with the dogs then you should used the product on your cats as well. I know the vets all say they can still pick up ticks even if they are indoor pets. Better safe then sorry!
I wouldn't panic ticks have always been out there, this year is suppose to be worse then normal. I for one have been working outdoors in the yard the last several weekends as well as working outside for my job daily and have not found any on myself. And except for the one on our Beagle that is it, we have 3 Jack Russels that have so far been clean, I hope.
