How to safely prevent fleas on my 6-week-old outdoor kitten?

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.

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

Frontline spray is safe to use on kittens from two days of age. If the kittens are that age, you can safely use it on them. It can also safely be used on Baby. You will also have to disinfect the environment, as fleas live in the home and not on the animal. 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, or a flea bomb would work well to kill the fleas in the home. If you do use a spray like Indorex, do not allow Baby and her kittens in that area until the spray is completely dry. I hope this helps.

Cute kitty. This is likely a flea and actually you can bathe kitty as early as 2 weeks of age, since that is when most kitties can regulate their own body temperature. Fleas are very small and move very fast. They can cause itching and also they can carry tapeworms which can come out in the stool and look like little grains of rice. And actually Pinky is old enough for topical Revolution flea prevention, which is ok to give to kitty’s who are at least 6 weeks of age. Ask your vet for a prescription, since this is not available over the counter. But you can go ahead and bathe Pinky now, just blow dry him a bit to speed up the drying process if it is cold temperature where you are. I hope this helps and best wishes with your kitty and these fleas. Take care.

Use a fine toothed comb and gently brush her. Live or dead fleas will get caught in the comb. You may also comb out flea dirt which is digested blood. It appears as black specks similar to pepper flakes. If you moisten a cotton ball with water and rub the specks, they will leave rust colored streaks. This is evidence of flea dirt which means there were fleas on your kitten. Frontline Spray is safe to use on a kitten of Ginger's age. You will also need to treat the environment. This means vacuuming everywhere and washing all bedding. Follow up with an area treatment such as Knockout ES to prevent reinfestation. The Frontline Spray should be used monthly for at least three consecutive months, preferably year round or until she is old enough/weighs enough for a topical preventative.

Mavrick is so cute! Newborn kittens can be very fragile, and unfortunately sometimes some of them don't make it. The best advice I can give you is keep her warm and fed. and weigh her daily to make sure she is gaining weight. It's safe to use Frontline Spray on her to kill the fleas, so I would use that instead of bathing her every day. Be sure to disinfect the environment from the fleas, as they can be a continuing source of fleas. 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. Just keep her out of any room you use a flea spray on until it's dried completely. If there are any health problems or concerns with her, be sure to take her into a vet immediately. Best of luck, I hope this helps!
