Should I use a flea shampoo or a flea collar?

My cat has fleas. We rescued her from the street and we need to know what we should use. We have heard bad things about flea collars. She is 7-9 weeks of age.








Thank You!Should I use a flea shampoo or a flea collar?
You can buy flea drops accually, it works a whole lot better than the flea shampoo and the flea collar. You can buy them at the nearest animal hospital.Should I use a flea shampoo or a flea collar?
Neither one - flea collars are useless, and most of the over the counter flea shampoos are not safe for use in kittens under 12 weeks of age - they can cause toxic reactions that include foaming at the mouth, seizures, and death. Call the vet and get her a safe and effective flea treatment like Advantage or Frontline. It will actually work, and work safely.
I would buy Frontline. It is the best on the market. It lasts a month. You place the liquid on the back of her neck, parting the fur. Check with the vet to make sure it's ok since she is pretty young.





Flea collars just don't really work. She might be too young for a flea bath. You really should check with the vet and see what suggestions they have.
well collars traditionally do not work well. the very best you can do is speak to a vet and get a preventative/killer like frontline. you apply it topically and they work great. in loo of that, use a bath...its far more affective then the collar.
You should use a flea collar nothing is bad about them they work great and besides the shampoo does not work





1.Cats don't like baths


2. You have to give her a bath every day


3. It can be expensive


4. It doesn't work





So no shampoo.
theres a medication you can put on her but i would look at all of them they might have a age requirment
I don't think flea collars work very well. The shampoo would be best, but make sure it's safe for kittens.
Take her to the vet and get a topical treatment, much more effective.
Flea Shampoo
use frontline! its better than anything! frontline frontline frontline!!!
use what the vet recommended.
then so use shampoo!


espessily when shes young
