∙ 10y agoThe once a month flea preventative topicals are great at keeping fleas and ticks off. There are such products as Frontline, Advantix or Advantage. Just put them on topically once a month and no more fleas or ticks.
The best thing I have found for keeping fleas and ticks off of dogs and cats is the once a month topicals, such as Frontline, Advantix or Advantage. Just put it on topically once a month and no more ticks or fleas.
Go to the vet
Advantage II is a waterproof, once-a-month topical treatment that kills fleas in all life stages. It not only kills flea eggs and larvae and thus prevents them from developing and reproducing, it also kills adult fleas on contact, so they do not need to bite your cat in order to die.
Fleas are most active no matter where you live in the warmer month.
Comfortis works well...can get it at the vet's office...kills fleas in about 30 minutes and protects them for one month...costs about $16.00
They can start developing as early as March 1 depending on the weather, once the ground starts to thaw, that's when the fleas will start to hatch. As is gets warmer you will see them.
Not really. The most effective way of getting rid of fleas is to use one of those once a month flea medications such as Frontline, Advantage or Advocate. The best, most effective brands can be bought from your vet. These are a once a month flea medication that will prevent fleas & ticks from getting on him or her for a month. You apply it topically. Combing the dog regularly will remove dead or dying fleas, and should be done until no more fleas can be seen. Washing the dog using a flea shampoo for dogs is also another method for helping getting rid of fleas. Never use human shampoo, detergent or any other products with strong chemicals in. They may kill the fleas, but will also irritate the dog's skin and will cause unnecessary discomfort.
On average a month has 302400 minutes.
use dawn fish washing soap, the blue kind, its safe and it leaves their cost soft and smelling good, fleas sure instantly to
Flea baths for cats are only necessary if fleas are present. If fleas are present, flea products should be used according to the label.
Depend on where you live. Once it freezes outside there will be no more fleas. If you live in a warmer climate where there is the possibility of fleas year round, then yes. In the colder climates, Frontline should be put on a month before it warms up and fleas start to emerge.
