NO. It wont! You have to get an actual flea shampoo that has the proper ingredients in it for killing the little critters You should also get a spray or flea powder to do your house, especially if theres carpets as fleas will live without the animal and will eventually go back on the animal.

Why would you think that dandruff shampoo would take care of fleas? Call a vet and they will recommend a proper flea shampoo for you kitty. If your cat has fleas bad you should to take it to a vet or groomer for flea shampoo and then you should take care of your house so that she doesn't get them on her again. Do you not realize that they bite humans as well? If she is an indoor/outdoor kitty you should treat her monthly with with Front line for cats. If you let this go, you, your family and your pet will suffer. Fleas are as serious as roaches. Good luck.

No! You need to use flea shampoo and leave it on for the five minutes that is recommended, and also spray the cats bedding the carpet and furniture with flea spray to get rid of all the fleas.

you should never use human products on cats, it will prove to be damaging to their fur and might cause it to start dropping. u shud get cat shampoo that is meant to kill the fleas and help to treat the problem. also only if ur cat is more than 5 months old shud u use a shampoo that will kill fleas. if ur cat is still a baby constant grooming and washing with slightly warm water will help, or else u can bring ur cat to the vet and get it treated.

I would use the vet i used the spray as they say to and my cat had a VERY bad reaction to it and in 2 days had awful skin problems .
And after reading alot of posts on products that are for fleas on cat many many have bad reactions from that stuff .
Don't forget your cat will lick the stuff off and no matter how good you dry it your cat will injest some of it . Anyways after the massive leasons broke out on Jennys back i had to take her to the Vet anyways so save some cash and let the Vet take care of the fleas plus you won't run the risk of maybe killing your cat because he/she can't handle something that is in the product

No, but it might kill your cat.
Seriously, you do need a good flea killer from the pet shop and follow the instructions. Pets like cats and dogs should only be shampooed on occassions as it washes out natural oils from the fur and can cause skin irritation..

Nope ! H&S is ment for human beings who have no fleas !!
But yes, it will make it fluffy and nice, and smell good do.
Use medication to get rid of fleas and then you can beautify your cat with H & S !

it may be too strong for the cat, havent tried it, but wouldnt recommend it. also cats hate water and freak out. go to the veterinarians office or petco/pet supply store and tell them your cat has fleas, they should have a shampoo or spray with instructions.

Shampoo won't do it. You need to use a permethrin insecticide on the animal and the animals bedding.
