Are flea collars on outdoor kittens enough to protect my indoor cat?

Hi I would suggest you buy a box of 6 pipettes of Revolution. Make sure you apply one pipette on each cat to the skin to the back of their neck, so it’s important you part hair when applying it. You need to repeat it every month. I would also suggest you spray the environment to kill all eggs and larvae present. I am sure they will be able to advise you on which spray is best according to the size of your house and people living in it. https://www.petsmart.com/cat/pharmacy/rx-medication/revolution-for-cats-5.1-15-lbs-5273301.html

The most comprehensive protection you can get that is also the easiest to apply and has very, very few side effects would be Revolution. I highly recommend this. I will provide broad spectrum coverage for fleas, roundworms, hookworms, ear mites, scabies, etc. This will give you peace of mind. You can get this product easily by going to one of Petco's VETCO clinics inside their stores. Take Ford with you as the vet will need to see him. They do not charge an exam fee so all you will need to pay for is the product. Hope this helps.

Hi and thanks for your post! Yes, it is recommended that even indoor cats be on flea preventative. The reason for this is fleas can find ways into your home and even hitch a ride on you! It only takes one flea to induce a flea allergy and cause an infestation eventually so it is better to prevent. Dealing with fleas on your pet and in your house can be a real headache. I hope this helps and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!

I personally still recommend it because you can bring in fleas and ticks on your clothes thus accidentally infesting Kodi. Visitors can bring them in as well. It's best she's protected. I hope this helps!

Yes of course you can give your pet cat Holly a flea preventative like Revolution or Advantage multi, but there is no tick preventative out there for cats at the present time. If you do decide to use another product on Holly make sure it is labeled safe for use in cats.

Revolution does not repel fleas. The fleas still have to get on Sage in order for the medicine to work. The fleas could have been new and not had time to fully die from the revolution yet. 80% of a flea problem is environmental. It is best to drop him off at the vet for the day while you treat your house and yard to full get rid of the problem.

Great question! I don't recommend using a flea collar, they aren't very effective and often cause skin problems. You can give her Capstar, which is a one time pill that starts killing fleas in 30 minutes. It is safe to give nursing mothers. Then follow up with Revolution. It's a spot on treatment that is also safe to use on nursing mothers. You will also have to disinfect the environment. Wash their 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.. Make sure Miss Kitty and her kittens are away from where you sprayed the flea spray until it is completely dry. As for the kittens, they are too young for flea treatment and do not put anything on them. You can gently bathe them in warm water and Dawn dish soap, using a flea comb to get all the fleas out of their fur. Be sure to dry them completely so they don't get cold.
