If you've spotted the tell-tale sign of fleas, the first thought you may have is, "How can I get rid of fleas on cats?" But, along with treatment for your pet, prevention methods are essential for their comfort and health.

Because fleas are so problematic, flea prevention is essential! Commonly prescribed preventives include oral and topical medications—although injectable flea prevention is available, as well.

Comfortis is a prescription product so you will need to see your veterinarian. If you can has been examined within the last year, they may be able to approve the medication for you. You will also need to call your vet for pricing. It's typically cheaper per dose to buy it in a 6 months supply rather than a single dose. Ask if any rebates are currently running as this could help as well. To fully get rid of fleas, you will need to treat all the pets for 6 months. I hope this helps.

If it is available, my best topical flea treatment for cats is Cheristin. It is very effective and kills fleas before they bite, which is helpful for cats with flea allergies since it is the bite they react to. Comfortis is a tablet that is also very effective, but it can cause vomiting.

Hi there. I think your plan of using Comfortis instead is a good one. If you opt to do this, there's really no need to give the Capstar first, as the Comfortis will start working quickly on its own :) You can go ahead and do this now - the Comfortis should not have any harmful interactions with the Advantage, even if it was only applied a week or so ago.

I'm sorry you're having such a challenging time with Meowsie. It certainly is good of you to treat a feral cat. Crushing Comfortis and mixing it with food shouldn't cause a problem with its absorption, so I doubt that is your problem. If you are still seeing fleas, you might ask your vet for another recommendation, but Comfortis tends to work well. Unfortunately, when a cat has flea allergies or chronic skin problems, it can take a while for the itching to improve even once the fleas have been treated. I might consider giving her a fish oil supplement daily to help improve her skin and decrease her itching. There are a number of fish oil supplements for cats such as Wellactin ( http://www.welactin.com/?pg=cat ). Good luck! I hope that was helpful. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.
