Miracle cure for fleas?

that would be great, my chiwawa goes outside alot and she gets them bad.

Just read all the suggestions which are all great. The tablet from the vet really works well. If you really only want to use natural remedies you can try Tea Tree Oil or lemon verbena, apparently the fleas dont like it. My vet says that the only way a cat collar will kill fleas is if the flea trips over it and breaks his neck

It's not really a miracle cure, but you might want to try using a "critter comb" several times a day until you don't see any more evidence of the fleas. This combs out the fleas and traps them in the comb's teeth where you can wash them down the sink. I used to use it with my indoor/outdoor cat before the days of Frontline.

Try boric acid crystals. They cut up the fleas and dry them out. But, it's completely non toxic for pets and animals. It's pretty cheap too. This is a great way to control fleas in the house without nasty chemicals.

Flea collars are pretty ineffective. Is his skin condition caused by flea allergy? Have you tried Fronline or Advantage? You probably need to treat the whole house - guessing thats whatr you ahave done from your post. Also wash any bedding etc he has contact with. One suggestion would be garlic in his food, can use odourless powdered forms which might be nicer for both of you!

there is nothing worse they are hard to get rid off. we have 26 dogs so we have to keep right on top of things or it would be totally out of control. we find the best thing is a tablet you get from your vet which kills fleas,worms and heartworm all at once. but more importantly you have to do a thorough house clean and wash everything in hot water to kill the eggs and larvae. good luck.

Could your cat wear cat clothes and the medicine be put on that like front line? Ask your vet maybe the frontline could be applied to a collar and not the cats skin... Its just a tiny bit that goes on the back of their neck... or see if it can be applied to a cat clothing or something. I usually sprinkle my cats sleeping area with flea tick repellant, and that helps. They have powders that do not irritate skin, if you apply it carefully. - DNatureofDTrain
