Product Information

CAPSTAR tablets start killing fleas in 30 minutes and achieve greater than 90 percent effectiveness within six hours. In addition to its fast-acting effectiveness, one of the big advantages to CAPSTAR Fast-Acting Oral Fela Treatment for Cats is that its dosing doesn't change depending on your cat's size, as is the case with a lot of topical treatments. Instead, CAPSTAR will work for any cat or kitten more than two pounds and over four weeks old. You should only use high-quality flea collars if they're recommended by your vet.

You should aim to use a flea spray to help stop fleas residing in certain places in your home, while another more suitable (stronger) flea treatment gets to work on ridding your cat of them. As soon as you notice there are fleas either in the house or on a pet, take action. The Worst Thing You Can Do: Nothing These can be sprayed everywhere and as a result need to be safe for use around children. Their ingredients aren’t as strong as traditional flea treatments that rely on insecticides. Revolution Plus comes in three concentrations for cats weighing as little as 2.8 pounds or as much as 22 pounds. It’s safe for cats 8 weeks and older and is only available by prescription. What We Liked: Flea powders remain on the coat and only kill adult fleas, not the larvae. This means they do not work long-term and are not a good treatment choice. Flea collars for cats

Application method. The most common flea treatments are topical spot-on solutions, tablets, and powders. Topical spot-on solutions definitely lead the way in terms of effectiveness, but they can be accidentally ingested and some leave an oily residue. Tablets are also a good option if your kitten has sensitive skin, but they usually need to be given more often. Powders are a good short-term option but need frequent reapplication. Pyrethrins: Derived from the Chrysanthemum cinerariaefolium plant and other pyrethrum-related plant species, pyrethrins are commonly used in flea powders and shampoos. Pyrethrins can be toxic to cats in large amounts or if used incorrectly. This chemical is a neurotoxin that causes overexcitement of the flea’s nervous system, eventually causing death. Because of its potential for toxicity in both cats and humans, it’s not recommended for use as a flea treatment for cats. Do Natural Flea Treatments and Home Remedies Work? Topical and oral flea treatments typically contain one of two types of insecticide: adulticides or insect growth regulators. Adulticides kill only adult fleas, which account for roughly 5% of the infesting flea population. Although adulticides are sometimes used on their own, particularly in oral medications, they’re often combined with insect growth regulators which slow the infestation by preventing the fleas from reproducing. Flea medication can be given as a tablet or injection if you find it difficult to give your pet a spot on treatment. It works by preventing the flea eggs developing into fleas. Flea combs for cats

While Vet’s Best claims that diluted essential oils are safe for cats, some experts consider essential oils unsafe for cats in any form. This formula also contains sodium lauryl sulfate, which can cause respiratory issues in cats if ingested. A 10 second burst treats 1 square metre of surface. The 500ml can will be sufficient to treat a typical family home.All you need is a spray bottle, lemon juice, and water. Add 10-15 drops of lemon essential oil to a gallon of distilled water (to make sure it doesn’t get moldy) and mix in 4 tablespoons of organic lemon juice. Shake well before each use, then spray your cat or dog down (avoiding their face) and then allow them to shake off any excess spray. Do not use near an open flame, as many homemade flea sprays are flammable. You can also add some catnip to your mixture if you like! Remember that sprays remain one of the most cost-effective flea treatments around, but we definitely wouldn’t rely on a spray alone to kill fleas that live in your cats’ fur. Although in many cases Frontline products for dogs should not be used on cats, the spray is labeled for use in both cats and dogs. This is largely because the dosing can be specifically catered to the size of the pet.
