Is there a cat food that has flea killers in them?

Question

My cat seems to have problem with fleas. The vetenarian pscribed flea medication that we rub on her neck does not really work.

Answer 1

there isn't a food with flea killers on them, but there are a variety of different brands of flea medication that work slightly differently. try either frontline for cats or advantix for cats.

also, clean out areas where fleas like to live. wash your bedding, carpet, floors, anywhere your cat goes that you can wash - do it.

Answer 2

No, nothing you put IN the cat can really be effective with the fleas. If the flea problem is bad in the house the medication may not appear to be helping the cat. So consider treating the HOUSE first.

Advantage or Frontline are very effective in killing the fleas that get on the cat and if the fleas are constantly breeding in the house it will not seem to help.

Answer 3

Yeah, fleas hate garlic, but do NOT give your cat garlic. It's toxic to them.

There IS a pill that vets administer called Capstar, but this only kills the adult, biting fleas on the cat. It's usually only used in severe infestations, and does nothing for repelling fleas.

The stuff that your vet gave you to put on your cat's neck was probably either Advantage or Frontline Plus. I prefer Frontline Plus since it kills the adult fleas, larvae, and eggs on your cat and repels fleas for up to a month.

If you're still seeing fleas, don't automatically assume the medication isn't working. The fleas can jump off the cat when they catch wind of the pesticide, then infest your carpets, funiture, and bedding. And then they'll occasionally try to jump back on your cat. We're having this problem now, and I'm going to treat the apartment. The nice thing is, once they bite your cat, they're poisoned and will die. But don't count on this to take care of them completely since there are probably eggs and larvae in your carpet. They'll keep growing to adulthood, laying more eggs in the carpet, then jumping on your cat, biting it, and dying. See the vicious cycle? It's imperative that you get rid of the fleas IN your home. There are some good suggestions on this site;

But stick with the flea medication your vet gave you. OTC products should NOT be used since they can be toxic to cats.

(Sad Sara obviously didn't read this. Again, DON'T use OTC flea treatments. Not even flea collars. Flea collars HAVE poisoned cats before....not to mention they're pretty inaffective).

Answer 4

There is a really good prescription pill you can break up in

their food (one time) to kill fleas. I forgot what it's called because

I haven't had cats for a while. I think it is called Advantage.

Now I'm kind of glad I don't have cats - fleas, meowing all night &

waking me up, litter box. But the cuddling was nice.

Answer 5

lol no. But there are lots of other things to kill fleas for kittys like a flea collar which is very cheap in the pet stors or there is shampoos and some other liquids you can put on their fur.
Most imporantly though , make sure you bathe your cat, that is one of the best ways along w/ the special flea shampoo.

Answer 6

If you had fleas, would eat something that would be able to kill them? Essentially, you would be eating poison, and so would your cat. Use the medicine the vet gave you consistently and appropriately, and you will purge your cat of the fleas.

Answer 7

fleas hate garlic

Answer 8

If there was one I would be very hesistant about feeding it to your cat.

Answer 9

no, I don't think so but you can ask your vet
thank you
