Worried about my cat getting sick from flea treatment.  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 92/100. beautyqueen26 (34377)   ranked 20 out of 774 in pets 5 years ago

My cat cleans herself after flea treatments and I'm worried that she'll get sick.

I don't want to use harmful chemicals on her fur, but can't live with the fleas.

I'd love to find an over the counter non-toxic flea control solution, safe for use on pets.

Please help!

Go to wal mart look in the pet section they have flea and tick medicine that comes in a tube that you squeeze behind the neck and it works great. I use it on my cats it cost about5 bucks but it will last all summer long. Good luck!

Buy a big container of garlic powder and put in on the cat food. Fleas can't stand it, like the little vampires they are! It really works, but not on ticks, so if that's a problem go with the treatments.

Are you for real? Is that true? I totally have garlic powder in the fridge. I'm going to try it, but if my babies get bad breath, I'm blaming you! LOL! :)

It really does work, it takes a week or so before they start to jump ship, so its better as a preventitve. And don't tell me your cats have creat freash breath already! I won't buy it! LOL

This may sound crazy but I use the regular blue Dawn dish soap. The hardest part is getting the cat to take a bath.lol. All you need is a little bit of it, lather it up good and then rinse well. You'll be amazed at how many fleas die. The only thing is that it won't keep the fleas away.

That's a really good tip. I'll try it out.

What kind of flea treatment do you currently use? The one I've found most effective for both dogs and cats is Frontline Plus. Put it at the back of their necks. They can't reach that part by licking themselves.
