How to effectively treat cat fleas and prevent them from returning?

I can give you a great flea treatment program for Princess. First, I would give her Capstar. It's a one time pill that starts killing fleas within 30 minutes. Then follow up with a spot on treatment, such as Advantage or Revolution. This is a treatment that has to be used once a month. You will also have to disinfect the environment. Wash her bedding in hot soapy water, and vacuum the furniture and carpet surfaces. You can use a spray to kill fleas in the house, such as Indorex, or a flea bomb would work well to kill the fleas in the home.

How lovely of you to take in Billu! First I would give him Capstar. It’s a one time pill that starts killing fleas in 30 minutes. Then put on a topical treatment such as Revolution or Advantage. Both are safe to use with Capstar. You will also have to disinfect the environment. Wash his bedding in hot and soapy water. Vacuum all the furniture and carpets. A spray such as Indorex can be used to kill fleas in the home, or you can get the house flea bombed by an exterminator. I hope this helps!

See your veterinarian for an exam. Sky may need antibiotics to prevent or treat infection of the sores. A short course of steroids followed by antihistamines may provide relief from the itching. Your vet can also dispense Capstar to kill any adult fleas on Sky. Follow up with a topical preventative such as Revolution or Frontline. Either should be applied monthly for at least 3 consecutive months, preferably year round. Vacuum your home/apartment. Clean everywhere Sky has been. Dispose of the bag outdoors. Wash all bedding in the hottest temperature allowed by the fabric. To prevent reinfestation, use an environmental treatment such as Knockout ES.

So vinegar and water do not work at all to treat fleas. All is does is make the cat smell like vinegar, and it can upset their stomach if the lick it off, which maybe what is going on with your cat. I can give you a flea treatment program for your cat. First, I would give her Capstar. It's a one time pill that starts killing fleas within 30 minutes. Then follow up with a spot on treatment, such as Advantage or Revolution. This is a treatment that has to be used once a month. You will also have to disinfect the environment.

You've washed it off thoroughly, so Kiwi should be fine. It won't be in large amounts. I can give you a flea treatment program for her. First, I would give her Capstar. It's a one time pill that starts killing fleas within 30 minutes. Then follow up with a spot on treatment, such as Advantage or Revolution. This is a treatment that has to be used once a month. You will also have to disinfect the environment. Wash her bedding in hot soapy water, and vacuum the furniture and carpet surfaces.

Oh dear, poor Izi! As a starting point, I recommend putting a high quality topical flea preventative on Izi, such as Advantage (also known as Advocate in the UK), Revolution, or Bravecto. Be sure to treat her regularly every 1-3 months, as labeled by the product chosen. Also treat every dog or cat in the household with an appropriate preventative on an ongoing basis. It is also a good idea to vacuum your house daily for the next few weeks, taking care to discard the vacuum bag or clean the vacuum canister regularly to prevent fleas from crawling out. Fleas can be infected with tapeworms, so if Izi would ingest one of these infected fleas, she could acquire a tapeworm infection as well. Deworming with a praziquantel-based deworming medication would also be helpful. I hope this helps and that all goes well!

I'd be worried because I think Smokey has fleas. I can give you a flea treatment program for him. First, I would give him Capstar. It's a one time pill that starts killing fleas within 30 minutes.
