If your cats have fleas what should you do about the litter box I use coopable litter what kinda litter should you use or what should you do or don't you need worry about litter? Also should you give your cats capstar before giving flea medication an
1. You don't need to do anything about the litter box 2. You can give them a Capstar and then the next day you can apply a topical flea medication like Advantage II. 3. You need to treat all animals in the house with a flea medication 4. You need to treat the house. I recommend Knockout Spray ES (see below) 5. You do not need to bathe the cats. It is actually better if you don't. 6. If you have a yard, I would treat the yard with Advantage Yard Spray (see below) 7. Monitor the cats for tapeworms. Cats get tapeworms by ingesting infected fleas. It may be a few weeks before you see them, if you are going to see them.

Hello, we’ve been having flea issues and my cat is living in my room for now sleeping with me every single night. I put on Frontline Plus a week or two ago and next dose is Oct. 28th. I just brushed her and found about 10 fleas in one stroke my her n
Hello, & thank you for using Boop by Petco. I would wait at least another 2 weeks before using another topical. In the meantime, you can definitely use one of the oral cat flea products. You can purchase Capstar in most bigger pet stores. It only lasts 24 hours, but you can administer it several times a week until you can use another topical ( I recommend either Frontline Gold, or Bravecto for cats ). Or you can purchase Comfortis from your veterinarian. With this, 1 pill will last 30 days. I like Revolution, more because it gets heartworms plus hookworms & roundworms, but it is a topical, too. So use an oral tablet for now. They work great. Take care.

I have a 15 year old scottish fold who was given hartz fLea drops a week ago by her previous owner, and she's still covered in fleas. I have advantage II for my British shorthair. Can I use the advantage on my new cat or will that overmedicate her? I
Congratulations on adopting Butterscotch! She's adorable! Good for you for having Advantage II on hand - this is a much more effective and safe medication than Hartz flea treatments. However, I generally advise waiting at least 2 weeks between applications of topical flea medications. Fortunately, there are a few other options for treatment at this point. The ideal option would be giving Butterscotch prescription-based Comfortis, which is an oral flea medication that works quickly and effectively, and can be given at the same time as topical medications due to different mechanisms of action. However, this may require a trip to the vet since Comfortis is prescription based. The other option would be to give Butterscotch a dose of oral Capstar (available through most pet stores) which will quickly kill adult fleas, but will not provide lasting prevention. After a dose of Capstar, you can also give her a bath in original Dawn dish soap to kill any lingering adult fleas and remove any flea

We tried a new topical flea treatment on our cats, Cheristin. 2 out of the 3 were lethargic for the first day, I assumed due due to some relief from critters. However, my smaller Tabby cat is still very lethargic going into day 3 after application. S
Yes, I would be a bit concerned. Unfortunately, not all medications work well on an animals. I would consider this an abnormal reaction. I suggest you wash her with some Dawn Dish Soap to remove all the residual product from her body. If she stops eating or using the bathroom she needs to see a vet ASAP. I recommend you use a different product on her from now on. Maybe a Seresto collar? https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/seresto-flea-and-tick-collar-for-cats

is it safe for my cats to apply frontline after using sergeant's silver about a week ago, like, they have totally different ingredients, are they going to interact and harm my cats?
Cats can be sensitive to flea medications. For that reason it is safest to wait 2 weeks between products even with different ingredients. Your vet can prescribe a cap star which is a pill that will last for a day that can help while you wait the remaining time
