What are the best and safest flea treatment baths for cats at Petco?

You can purchase Adam's shampoo for a good flea bath to start. They do sell Frontline and Advanatge over the counter without a prescription now and it is probably the most effective of your options. If not at Walmart other pet stores carry them.

Hi. There are some prescription glea medications you can get from your veterinarian at that age. In the meantime, bath with dawn soap, and you need to have your home and environment professionally treated or the flea cycle will continue

I would recommend using caution if the flea/tick shampoo and the topical product both contain permethrins, particularly if you have a small dog. I recommend avoiding all over the counter products containing permethrins for cats since they are prone to toxicity. If you use a flea/tick shampoo with permethrin and a topical product that has a different active ingredient it should be safer. An even safer alternative would be to use blue Dawn dishsoap for bathing, followed by flea combing and then applying a topical product.

Bathing your pets in dawn dish soap will help dislodge the fleas, or you can buy a flea shampoo from your local pet shop. I would recommend using a monthly treatment to prevent the fleas if it is available in your area.

If you used a topical preventative and applied it soon after bathing, it won't have been as effective as it should be. These produce use the oils in the skin to spread. When you bathe a pet, these oils are stripped and you have to wait for them to build up again. Typically, it recommended to apply a topical 3 days before or 3 days after a bath or getting wet. It should then be used monthly for at least 3 consecutive months, preferably year round. You should also treat the environment, since most fleas live off of the pet and only hop on for feeding. Vacuum everywhere the cats have been. Discard of the bag or empty the canister outdoors immediately after. Wash all bedding in the hottest water allowable by fabric and dry in the dryer. Use a cat safe area treatment to prevent reinfestation. An oral preventative, such as CapStar, can be given to quickly kill any adult fleas on the cats. Get it from your vet or from the local Petco.

Bathing your cat is not a good idea. There is no need to bathe him as Frontline will kill all the fleas that hop on him or are present on him. Midnight will appreciate it if you do not bathe him.... You can get a capstar tablet that will kill all the fleas on him. That is much easier than bathing. You will need to do the vacuuming regularly for a while including vacuuming uncarpeted floors and furniture. Definitely put flea powder into the vacuum cleaner bag to kill larvae and eggs and dispose of the bags outside in the trash. If you diligently use flea preventive on all of your pets and often vacuum your house, you will get rid of the problem.

No this is absolutely not recommended, first of all you can overdose her, secondly i generally do not recommend flea baths for cats, they are less effective and tend to cause severe side effects. Hartz isn't a good product either, for next time i would recommend something from the following list: Spot ons: Revoulution Advantage Advantage Multi Frontline Bravecto spot on (ticks as well) - for cats Tablets: Comfortis Collar: Seresto ( (ticks as well) House spary: Indoorex
