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.

You can put the collar on. However! Unfortunately fleas only hop on the body of your pet when they want to feed, then they hop off again and stay in your pet's environment. So you need to treat all pets in the household as well as the environment (which contains the fleas, their eggs and larvae). Flea treatment: 1) Get some flea medication such as a Flea spray or a spot on from a pet shop or your veterinarian and apply monthly 2) get flea powder, put some in your vacuum cleaner bag and vacuum your house and furniture and also non-carpeted areas frequently to remove flea larvae and eggs which live off house dust., Dispose of the bag in the trash outside. Hot-wash all the pet's bedding, If you do this diligently for a few months you will get rid of the fleas.

I would recommend Bravecto for cats https://us.bravecto.com/for-cats . You could combine this with a Seresto cat collar if needed. I would recommend discussing with Levi's vet what products they are finding effective in your area as sometimes a vet will find one product works best for pets in their region.

Fleas can be frustrating to treat. I know that many people have a lot of success with Seresto collars, but I have not. In order to treat Bandit’s fleas, I recommend using a good quality topical product, such as Advantage (use monthly) or Bravecto (prescription based and used every 3 months). Flea shampoos are rarely effective and can cause irritation to the skin, so I tend to steer clear of them. Be sure to vacuum daily, dispose of the vacuum bag frequently, and wash Bandit’s bedding in hot water. Continue to apply flea medication regularly in order to disrupt the fleas’ life cycle to prevent a recurrence. I hope this helps and that all goes well for Bandit!

Hello. 1. The collar can be put on immediately after the Frontline is done. 2. Dead fleas fall off the pet or may be groomed off. Cats are very efficient at doing this. 3. Fleas prefer to spend their entire lives on a pet, but this does not mean one may jump off its host onto someone else. Once a tick attaches, it remains there until it is full of blood or detaches to move to another host or dies. 4. The Seresto collar has no odor nor any residue that comes off. My two house dogs & house cat all wear this collar. I love them. 5. Repel means to keep or force away, so the Seresto collar discourages fleas & ticks from setting up on a pet. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.
