Is it safe to use Advantage flea drops on my kitten before shots?

Advantage drops should be placed on the skin on the back of the neck, where the cat can't reach to lick them off. It's fine to apply the Advantage immediately after giving the vaccine if needed - no need to wait.

It should be fine to apply flea medication. Flea medication is very different from the other medications and I don't know of a flea medication that would interact negatively with the antibiotics and topical medication. However, I am hesitant to fully recommend applying the flea treatment without your vet's recommendation, because there may be a reason why they didn't already recommend it. I recommend calling your vet to make sure this is OK before applying the medication. They should be happy to answer a quick question like this. I hope that helps and Freddy gets better soon.

Natural remedies never work, so I’m not surprised that the kittens still have fleas. Advantage is fine as long as they around around seven weeks of age and at least two pounds in weight. From your pictures, they don’t look like little kittens, and appear over seven weeks of age.

Hi and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Sorry to hear about the flea problem. Yes, you can use Capstar with any topical flea/tick medicine as far as I know. I don't know of any that Capstar is contraindicated. Great question and good luck.

In all likelihood, your kitty will probably be safe. However, I would advise using a product such as Capstar instead (nitenpyram) to most safely kill adult fleas without causing any sort of interaction.

If you take all the precautions it should be fine. The product must be COMPLETELY dry on the dogs before the cat comes into contact with them and you need to be sure to get rid of the packaging so the cat cannot come in to contact with that either.

No, per the label instructions cats have to be at least 12 weeks of age. If you are having a flea issue I suggest you use a topical flea medication like Advantage II. This can be used on kittens 8 weeks and older. Do not use the lesser brands like Hartz or Sentry - there have been many reactions to those brands. Hope this helps.
