If you're not sure which flea treatment is right for your cat, consult your veterinarian to identify a product that's both safe and effective. Have you used any of these products before? Did they work and were you happy with the results? Let us know in the comments!
My veterinarian is not going to identify any product/poison he can't make money off of; I've already tried that. The best combination of safety and effectiveness I've found is colloidal silver.
@@honkymonkey9568 So how do you use that please? Do you spray it on?
@@angebrowne1730 spray on, rub in
@@honkymonkey9568 Thank you.
Agreed. Asking a vet for their suggestions is like asking McDonalds which fastfood strain is best? Lol idk they're just salespeople imo. It's sad tbh
I'm so glad I found this channel! I have 2 cats, hagrid and harriet. I flew treated them but I'm still finding fleas. Growing up my mom always gotten the topical kind and only get it from the vet. This was an extremely helpful video!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you!!!!!!!!
Years ago I had a nasty flea infestation which almost killed one of my cats. She needed 2 blood transfusions which saved her life. My vet recommended Fleabusters which deprives oxygen and eventually kills the fleas. It was a great product and it was safe for pets and humans.
Absolutely love this channel! Underrated afs! 😭 thank you for everything
Thank you for such an informative, straight to the point, video. Thats seems to be very rare . Thank you for taking the time to be thorough also.
This channel is every cat owner’s guardian angel!
Not really. She's promoting "Frontline." Which doesn't work at all.
Huge thanks. Had two years of nightmares with fleas, mainly due to Frontline Spot on not working and seeing all the comments about it wonder how they continue to be allowed to sell a product that doesn't work. Even if their Frontline Plus works, not giving the company anymore of my money. Thank you for this review, most helpful. 🌻❤
I was itching along with my cats. I had fleas in my room. I used natural care home spray for fleas everywhere daily on my bed, cats bedding, and wherever my cats sat. I also changed bedsheets and vacuumed. Bathe my cats with Adams flea/tick shampoo. I also used Adams flea/spray daily on my cats. I spray it around their neck soaking wet as if they wore a flea collar. It’s helping my cats. I think spraying around their neck daily is helping my cats best.
I adopted my cat from the animal shelter and immediately took her to the vet. She didn't have fleas but ear mites. I used advantage multi which works on most parasites. Great stuff. Important to note, that you have to wash the bedding and treat the whole house along with the other pets with fleas and mites.
I can't find that on Amazon and was wondering how you had to get yours? Mine have mites from a stray we took in that had them and it's getting crazy with mites and fleas up in here lol
@@Faye_vr Need a prescription from the vet.
thank you for taking the time to make this video very helpful
First, treat all your pets with advantage. If house is infested, next use pecor 2000 on all carpets and lightly on wood floors. Use the advantage every month. Worked for us after weeks and weeks of absolute hell. Hope someone finds this useful.
Thank you
I PUT ADVANTAGE IN A GLASS WITH A FLEA AND 12 HOURS LATER THE FLEA WAS STILL ALIVE
@@teeniequeenie8369 I’m finding Advantage isn’t working like it used to. Either they changed the formula OR the cats are immune to it.
@@SpiritualGoddess69 you are so right. Pippetts are smaller and the strength is less.
I have used THREE doses of advantage and literally none of them worked. I’m convinced they changed the formula to something completely ineffective. I’m particularly upset because that stuff is NOT cheap. 😡
Thanks for your review
Thank you ~ Very helpful ~ Bless You 💘💖💜💛🧡💜
U did an amazing job!!!! ❤️ 🐈
my go-to CZcamsr for my new kitten, thank you for all the great vid! :)
Jason-wu, I'm honored to hear that we're your go-to channel for your new kitten. Thanks for stopping by and I wish you and your kitten all the best!
Our last cat used to go out and we used to get a Seresto collar fitted every year on his annual check up. We never had a problem with any fleas at all. They aren’t cheap but they last a year and they do work.
Whew😅
I’m trying this flea collar for the first time with my two cats.
@SelenaT did the product work?
I think that advantage flea and ticks works pretty well. This was pretty well put together.
Anyone scrubbing while watching ???
🤣
Watched or researched and this short video states it the best.
I adore this woman..and ty. I was planning on getting my cats collars but guess i better try the pill or the other options. Appreciate ya.
Thanks for being here, John!
Trifexis monthly on the dogs. Capstar combined with a bath(dawn dish soap) on dogs and cats. Heavy vacuum on the carpets then sprayed with the vets best.. was very effective.
thank you for the very informative video; my cat and I thank you, PJP
Please make more videos and add prices and more details overall amazing direct reviews you gained a subscriber please keep it up.
Hi Alex, thank you for the feedback and advice! We appreciate you and are glad you subscribed. Take care!
Thank you ma’am
Excellent video.
Its really important to note the weigh of your cat and what topical medicine youre using. I made that mistake and my kitty had seizures it was so scary. (This was many years ago but its still important)
Thank you so much
Educational video. Please include Advocate for Cats. I am using it for last 3 years. This is a great flea and tick treatment for cats.
Where can you get Advocate? And is it more or less expensive than Frontline?
thank you so much for this wonderful wonderful video
Thank you so much for this video!! I bought the flea comb and OMG I easily caught 20+ off my cat alone with that thing THANK YOU
Im afraid the flea would jump at me...
@@JoyForStudies I have like a bowl or cup near so I can drown them in there preferably with dawn or something in there
What else you use beside the flea comb?
The only catlady I trust. Well. Definitely one of the best.
Kitten Lady is also a goddess, but as her name suggests you don't get too much adult cat info...
Wish I’d watched this before going out and buying what I did!! I got a box of applicators and chose to buy two collars over a spray for my home 😩
Thank you 😊
THANK YOU
Thank you.
Very good video. It's hard to find the right product.
Good video... I'm using the Adam's shampoo-- on my cats.. but, I thinking of giving them, an Oral medication.
I tried everything and Advantage is really to only option that works.
Mom just bought that for my cat,will letcha know
@@merissarussomilo8806did it work
@@merissarussomilo8806how did that go? Currently seeking options
I used a Capstar pill on Sami before I brought him inside, then once inside used Revolution topically.

omg thank you so much
I tried the Soresto collar on my cat and when he went to scratch his neck, the collar spun and gave him really bad neck burns and cuts. I've had my other cat get her teeth under it and that caused mouth trauma.
I wouldn't recommend soresto to anyone for cats. Look up "cat collar injuries" as they can be serious. Such as the cat getting their arm in the collar and causing a massive cut in their armpit.
Thank you for sharing your experience, Justin.
@@AllAboutCatsYT My pleasure! Thank you for making such amazing videos!
I tried Soresto on my cat, the fleas were happy under and all around the collar, very disappointed.
My cat lost his hairs where the soresto collar touched his neck… but my other cat had no problem with the collar.
Thank you🤗
I also noticed one of the kittens had segments coming out of the Butt. So I went ahead and got any kinds of meds I can use once they put on more weight. They’re still under 2 pounds. I bought bayer tape worm dewormer, Drontal( for things like round worms), and Cheristin for fleas.. I also have food grade (has to be food grade) diatomaceous earth which can be used to kill worms from the inside. I don’t plan on using everything at once but I’ll be ready if needed.
Hi there, it sounds like you're well-prepared to get rid of any intestinal parasites. Since worms can be particularly dangerous for young kittens, I would also consider consulting with a veterinarian to identify the type of infestation and decide on the right next steps.
Also, there's almost no evidence that diatomaceous earth is an effective dewormer. Here's an enlightening review of the studies done on DE as a dewormer: www.sheepandgoat.com/de
Thanks again for commenting and I wish you and your kittens all the best! - Mallory
Oooh. I read that guide. :)
All cats are different! I have 3 and 1 wears a seresto and the other 2 get advantage and they’re all flea free. As a dog/cat groomer, I definitely recommend shopping around and figuring out which works for you!
Have you tried advtange treatment shampoo? I had 4 cats and recently brought in a stray she had fleas and ticks I gave her dawn baths but it's not working
@@KelsiChristine they’re probably in your house
I fought a huge infestation of fleas when I rescued a kitten from the streets, my grown cat got fleas, my dog got fleas and my kitten was the one that brought the fleas. So at that point my whole house was infested, and I didn’t know what to do. My grown cat had gotten fleas before when she was also a kitten and she also came from the streets, so I had deal with it before by taking my cat and my dog to the vet and getting a the medication the provided which was $15 each dosis. It worked for me at that time but this time around it was not working, I took all my animals to the vet multiple times to get the treatment but it was doing nothing. With my husband we decided to give Advantage a try and it work like a champ! We started to see dead fleas appeared in our sofa or the bed, they were just dying with the first treatment we have put on them. Now I know maybe advantage could be a bit pricey, but I think it’s worth every penny, specially when I had already spent a bunch in the vet’s medication that didn’t work. Complementary to advantage I used a house flea treatment spray so I could spray it on the furniture and carpet and that helped a lot. I was really frustrated with the fleas so what I did is that I gave my cats a bath, I applied the advantage treatment, then I washed all my bed sheets and cover seats with hot water and after I did that I sprayed the house with that treatment, it worked really good! I got all of those things at Walmart so it was easy access and amazing results. My home is now flea-free and my cats are happier than ever.
Sooo what medication is it🤔
@@catherinelane9631 advantage. It’s just a serum you put on the pet’s neck
What’s the flea spray??
My
@@chrissyh658 Hartz UltraGuard Plus Flea and Tick Home Spray, this was the spray I used to cover my bedsheets, sofa, and carpet. It is not the one I use to apply to my cats. Advantage ii is the topical solution I use.
Update on seresto since there are reports of it killing cats and dogs please. I found that Adam's Plus flea collar worked great for one of my cats.
I got my kitten and he had fleas I gave him a flea bath with Adams foam and was able to remove fleas and I put on the seresto collar and fast forward almost 4months later I see him scratch more than usually decided to give him a flea bathroom and there was more fleas then there was when I first got him so the collar did nothing in my eyes
I have four cats with flea infestations and will be implementing many of these tips! But I will actually be using bug bombs to treat most of my apartment, I've done this before when we had an ant infestation so I know it works! I put the cats in a separate room or area of the apartment then I duct tape the door to the room with the bug bomb and I do this to each area of the house until every section is treated, moving the cats and myself accordingly. It's a length process for sure but I want to be absolutely certain I stamp out these fleas. My babies will no longer suffer! Best of luck to everyone treating flea infestations.

Vacuum often, place pan of water with dawn soap under a lamp nightly to attract and kill fleas that jump in, flea comb, coconut oil, all natural pure apple vinegar in their water to drink (work up to one capful in 2 1/2 cups water), vinegar spray onto cat (avoid face)
Bug bombs will need to be used multiple times over several weeks to really knock them out
Which bomb did you use?
hey, you're awesome!
thanks
Thanks! You're awesome, too. 😸
We have 9 kittens right now! One of them was saved by the fire department from a car they were stuck in. We took the kitty in partially because no facility will be accepting new animals (covid precaution) anyway I’ve been using dawn dish detergent on the kittens except for the one that was stuck under a hood. She is traumatized so she needs time to build up trust first.

I need some help I recently gotten the flea collar seresto and my cat is allergic to fleas as the doctor had said so we bought her this collar and I'm not sure if it's working beacuse she is still scratching her face and body she had also been having patches on her face before we gotten the collar but she still bleeds and scratches herself! Is it working and it's just a slow process or is it not working? I got the collar of Petco btw
thank you
I have a question if anyone would be kind enough to share their insight. I’m eyeing the adams shampoo and the frontline drops for preventative measures and was wondering if using both would be safe or should only one treatment be used and if so which one?
Used capstar one time for my male cat. Might have noting to do with it but 2 days later I had a blocked cat for the first time. The day I gave it to him he just laid around and gave off a strange smell and ran a fever. Months and 7k later he's had a PU surgery and finally acting like himself again. Like I said not sure if it's related but ill NEVER use it again. I'll only apply prescription treatments for flea's ect from my vet now.
Thankyou!!!!!!
Nice video
Pretty much agree with the list except the topical one. Bravecto works just as good except for 12 weeks, worth the money 100%. Sometimes fleas will get used to the same insecticides on failed attempts of finishing them all, so you have to switch it up as well.
Exactly, Frontline & Advantage stopped working completely & our Vet said this exact same thing 💯
Do you have any recommendation about what to do when they get ticks? I live at the countryside, and they come home with few every day. So fare they have let me remove the ticks, but they start to avoid me when I am finding the tools.
Do you have a video for burrowing mites? my cat is overgrooming herself and biting her skin.
Why you havent mentioned NExgard, I'm using it for 2 years and its great for flea and tick treatment..
Advantage 2 and catego have been the best ones I've gotten
Can someone tell me of there are any other critters that might not be killed by my spot on? ( its for fleas and ticks) I often see my cat flinch slightly like she's being bitten but it doesn't stop when I use the spot on. Does it loose effectiveness if not used correctly or every 3 weeks as advised? Any help appreciated, thanks all.
Had dogs and cats, mopping with Dawn, or using borax powder that mopping killed all the flea infestation after using a spot on flea treatment.
Also used dawn as a shampoo on my dogs. Work marvelously
So you just mopped the floor with dawn and didnt apply anything to the cat itself and the problem was solved? 🤔
@@philarevolutionarywarriorp8295 they said they use a spot on flea treatment, also dawn kills fleas.. Lol
Advantage2
I really love your channel. What about the litter in the box?? Can I spray it with the home spray? That's a lot.
Good question. I would recommend just changing out your cat's litter rather than spraying it with the home spray.
We started trying to get rid of our fleas with Advantag II..... it seemed like it was working for a couple weeks, then our cats were back to scratching. We then tried Frontline Plus for 4 months... same results but the vet told us to stick to it. The first 3 doses the cats seemed to be better for 2 or 3 weeks then back to scratching. The 4th dose, the cats never stopped scrating. During the spot on treatments, we swept the house and furniture every other day. Washed bedding weekly. I was spraying the inside of our home with Black Flag monthly. Vet then said our only options were RX spot on, or the Seresto collars. We have 8 cats so taking each one into the vet and getting an expensive spot on treatment every month that was not going to be realistic. We decided to try the collars and I'm very glad we did. Scratching has stopped. Our very "chonky" cat who was the main victim of the flea bites due to his... inability to clean a large area on his back, which is where there would be high concentrations of flea feces. We are now going on 4 weeks in with the Seresto collars and there are no flea feces on him. The last two weeks when I did a weekly flea combing I only found a couple very slow moving (dying) fleas.
I'm hopeful now that the Seresto collar is going to be our white knight in our odd timed flea infestation. I am continuing to do monthly spraying of all floors and baseboards in the home as well as the furniture. Of course also continuing the vaccuuming every other day and paying extra attention to vaccuming off furniture the cats lay on as well as washing bedding weekly.
One thing I will say, DO NOT BUY ANYTHING THAT LOOKS LIKE A SERESTO COLLAR BUT ISN'T BRAND NAME. These collars do NOT have a generic and if you look on Amazon there's some knock off looking collars coming in round tins but if you look at the active ingredients in these NONE of the knock offs have a real insecticide, they're loaded with various essential oils. Real Seresto collars will have a Batch/Lot number on the cardboard box which will match the metal tin. The box will also have a serial number that matches a number inprinted on the collar itself. DEFINITELY check to make sure all the numbers match because there were a lot of fake collars circulating online shops. Also worth noting, if you get a two pack of the collars, both collars will have the same numbers. I had to order 4 of the 2 packs but you can bet each one was checked.
Does Frontline original spot on work on cats?
Also, how do you feel about wondercide as a treatment for carpeting and bedding? They also just came out with a spit treatment. I thought essential oils were not good for cats so I’m curious how this is “better” than frontline or advantage, etc.
the people that created the home spray that she reviewed also released a spray for cats does that work??
You will start to notice small red dots that look like blood around the washer, sink, or anywhere that can get wet. Flea poop turns red when wet. That is when you need to start finding flea meds for the animals. This means the house is about to get overrun by fleas, if not already. I have found that buying a spray for bed bugs and fleas works well around the house. I still need a cheap solution for fleas for 7 cats. I am starting to get a problem again.
Look up coconut oil.
And Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth (FGDE) sprinkled on your mattress, carpets, cats fur.
It cuts open the exoskeleton of bugs and dehydrates them, so they, larvae, and eggs all die. Takes awhile though.
@@rubyredtootsies8371can I put it in my mattress even though my toddler sleeps in our room also
@@EricaNewman1123
Yes it’s natural from the earth
@@EricaNewman1123just make sure you rub it in ! It can cause a problem being it can be breathed in cause it’s so fine
Out of those 8 products I got 6. The raid is the best out of the ones I got for the house. And the drops is the best for my cats because I can see the fleas dying and falling off.
Yes! I recently got a brand that drops liquid on the cat & the fleas are falling off like crazy everywhere !
@@dyymondddb Could you please recommend the name of the product?
By the drops do you mean the frontline product? Also have you tried the shampoo?
Give bath in dawn dishwashing liquid it what most places use for flea bath .Works wonders
If your poor dawn works the best for fleas
I'm not poor but I will agree with you... We have 5 cats that all were feral and dawn is the frugal option
I’ve often found the Adams products to be the best! I also dilute the Adams shampoo and spray that instead of any other products! Works great and most people never think of this method! I grew up in a veterinary clinic so I’ve heard everything!
Not in a cage, I hope, LOLOL!
(no offense intended)
Have you heard of putting unscented shaving cream around cats neck, so that the fleas cant travel to their head during the flea bath?
@@MK-ih6wp 🤯
Yes, I agree with the diluting the cat flea shampoo and dip a small hand towel in the diluted flea shampoo and literally wet the cat. Common sense. I don't want to torture my cat bathing.
I think it will be ok to apply the diluted flea shampoo water on my cat once a week for several weeks.
Fipronil is the active ingredient in Frontline which also offer spray option (100 and 250 ml) for easier use, on cats and surroundings. They are not cheap. Fipronil is widely use on agricultural crops and even by pest controllers.
Termidor SC extensively utilized by professional pest controllers for cockroaches, ants, termites, etc has about 9% of fipronil, the same level in Frontline.
You should have mentioned that even though the Seresto collar is expensive, it lasts for 8 months which means in the long run it is way cheaper than something you have to use every 30 days. Ive found they keep working even longer. Best flea treatment for sure!
I agree with you I had this flea collar and it was working great especially because I have a cat that is very allergic and sensitive to things. However there was a recall and I heard cats were dying and were getting sick so I stopped using it I have used revolution, but my cat seems to be allergic to it.
as soon as i took the collar off of my cat she got fleas within that week
Unfortunately, I found that my cat can’t use many products due to her having sensitive skin, I’ve found that a treatment called Catego has worked best for her and using a spray from a brand called Natural Care!
Thank you! For this info, my cat is also very sensitive
@@pineapplepineapple7534 your welcome!
I read Natural Care has peppermint oil which I thought was not safe for cats?
I just used Frontline Plus on my 5 month old kitten who had just recently got fleas, we gotten a slight infestation around the place and I work for a Pest Control Company so I know one of the most IMPORTANT rules in getting rid of fleas in home is to VACUUM your home thoroughly every 1-2 days for about 2 weeks. I’ve noticed the fleas around the home have dramatically declined but i’m still seeing a couple on my kittens stomach area after 48 hours of dosage. so i’m not entirely sure if the Frontline is working just yet
First act for cats made by tevra does not work the topical it's terrible.I'm with you.I invited a feral who had kittens inside in March and out of the blue I noticed my indoor cat losing hair on her tail and scratching im so upset I wana cry but tommorow me and my husband are vacuuming our entire basement and washing each cat or going to try but we used first act for cats itsbterrible didn't make a dent all 4 cats have fleas are scratching and kittens have them.Im going to but something to spray on cement that exterminator said they will die immediately spray my entire basement and maybe ill give advantage a try or the pill for now just to get rid of them right away.im so distraught
🙏🏽💗💗💗👏🏽 thank You for caring for them
Thank you for this video! My husband and I fought with our cat's fleas for two months until we bathed her with flea shampoo (she hated us afterwards) and used Fiprontix ampule. After Fiprontix we gave her Frontline combo just in case there are any eggs left on the surfaces and in the furniture and I hope she never gets them again.
So did u use fiprontix if so did it work well
@@eddie_taco2350 Yes it did but it stinks like a motherfucker 😁 after that obe month of Frontline combo we have been using only Fiprontix and no fleas so far 😊
@@milica93 fipronix has fipronil which is a terrible insecticide that can harm pets and humans glad they’re gone and hopefully you won’t have to use it again
@@iwona4685 I didn't give her all at once 🤦🏻♀️ She's fine, alive and healthy.
We have two orange indoor/outdoor tabby kittens, we live in Costa Rica on a 5 acre ranch, We have no carpets (tile only) but we do have a queen size bed that our cats sleep with us on... how should we go about flea control on our cats and our house?
Thank U,I cant use any harsh chemicals on my Cat,He has had Asthma All his life,For almost 15 yrs,He had a Massive cold when I got Him, At 3 months, He was Homeless during the winter at that time, So the Packaged Flea meds sets Him off N a bad Asthma Attacks, So bn Bathing him with Dawn Dish Soap,But the Fleas come back after a week or so.
I use pet armor and it works great!
With decades experience I've found the flee combs with handle inline with tines(?), only as wide as the comb part, the best. Handles like the one shown here get in the way when going between front legs in particular and are much more difficult to control when pulling hard thru thick fur, they twist to easily.
Just my two cents but it makes big diff to ME.
I’m concerned about the collar I had that one really liked it however their was a recall cats were dying and getting sick???
I spray my cat with Ortho home use it works really well!
I'm assuming this is a joke, but for anyone who doesn't recognize that: please don't apply home/garden insecticides directly to your cat.
Hey hopefully someone can answer this but my cat is very aggressive when I try to take her a shower and scratches. Is very necessary that I do this step? I really would like to make sure she’d be at her best but it’s too much.
My cat has fleas and they are in my house too. They were biting my feet and ankles and I had itchy bumps. I tried flea drops. Didn't work. I have been using the Adams Flea shampoo but I have to bathe my cat every 7 days. In between baths, when I brush his fur with a flea comb, he still has lots of fleas and flea dirt. The shampoo works great for killing the fleas when I bathe him but it certainly doesn't prevent the fleas from coming back for 28 days! It doesn't even prevent them for a week! I also put a flea collar on him which does absolutely nothing! My husband made a homemade flea trap using a shallow container of soapy water with a desk lamp shining over it. I have caught about 30 fleas using that so far. I also used the Raid flea spray and sprayed my entire carpet in my bedroom, around my bed frame and I also coated my bathroom floor and around the baseboards because I was seeing them in there too. I haven't treated any other rooms yet but I'm going to. The only product that got rid of the fleas on my cat was the oral pills. They work great but they are only effective for a couple of days. This isn't cost effective because there are only 6 pills in a box and they cost $30 a box. If I have to give my cat a pill everyday, that would cost about $150 a month! I can't afford that. I'm at my wits end with this problem!
You have to treat all rooms at the same time. You can't do one today and another tomorrow. Get the pets out of the house while you vacuum and steam clean and wash everything. OR I would clean the bathroom (mop floors and everything) then give them a bath and lock them in there while you take care of the rest of the house and then go back and mop the bathroom floor again. This is how you have to tackle this because otherwise they just move from one room to the other. I'd also throw the towels you dry the pets with in the washer and not leave them around the pets.
Beyer Seresto collar (in my country sold as Foresto) bought for my adult cat to give an instant relief did nothing but burn the skin around the neck. Tried to return it but the answer was that my cat is allergic and it's not their fault
Seresto collar kills your pets, don’t buy it
Hello! Can I use multiple at the same time like an oral and a topical?
Hey there! It's not recommended or necessary-using both could increase the risk of side effects and adverse reactions.
Frontline does nothing for me. Even had my vet reimburse me. Advantage is all I can fund. Looking into your video and options. Thanks so much
Did you have any trouble with advtange flea shampoo?
Advocate Cat is better than Advantage and Frontline
Maybe you should actually give it to your cat and not just use it for yourself

Revolution is another flea killing option. It's about $22 a dose from my vet and $25 if I want revolution plus. You can find it online too but I would check with your vet that it's safe for your cat (as you should for most things). It really helped me when I rescued a stray kitten that had a flea infestation

I’ve adopted an 8 month old kitten back in September…. He is now an indoor/ outdoor cat. We haven’t seen any fleas. However, it’ll soon get warmer here and GA. I’d like to work on prevention…. What would be recommended for “pre flea” treatment? Thanks
Hi there, have you heard about iPettie？
Hi. Have you tried broadline for cats? Does anyone know if it’s effective and safe to use for your cat? My vet just recommend this. But I am scared to use it. I used frontline 4 years ago and my cat had bad side effects.
Hi there. While I've not used Broadline, I do know that it it has a stronger dose of fipronil than does Frontline, meaning that if your cat had a negative reaction to the Frontline, the Broadline might also have bad side effects.
How do you feel about selarid?
Hiya, I've noticed that my cat has fleas on her stomach so I'm wandering how Frontline plus will prevent fleas all around her body?
missmaryanna25 Medications like frontline spread and disperse throughout the skin after a few hours. You apply it to an area where the cat can’t reach (back of the neck)
or you can take her a flea bath
I got the collar and it works but I think I may have fleas in my actual house so what do y’all recommend out of the two??? And where should I spray???
I would recommend treating your house first. Here's an excellent video on eliminating fleas indoors: czcams.com/video/ebuf1QtdWc8/video.html
