Fleaing cats!?

Question

Are there any herbal remedy ,for fleaing cats?

Answer 1

Fleaing? Where are they fleaing to??

Answer 2

no. Herbal remedies do not work. WHile you prat about using them, the poor cat is scratching like mad, your home will be infested and you may also have flea bites up your legs. If your cat has fleas it willalso have tapeworms, since flea larvae is the intermedieary host and the cat eats them while grooming. There are no herbs which deworm either. Go to the vet and ask for flea treatments and a drontal tablet. If you get something like frontline drops, advantage or whatever flea treatment, apply it every single month without fail and your cat and your home will be flea free and you won't have to have people looking at the flea bites up your legs and knowing that your home is infested.

Answer 3

Actually, as far as an herbal remedy, I don't know, but there is a product out that is a little better than frontline. It is called Revolution. Not only does this rid the flea problems, it controls worms and ear mites. Much better product. Don't try things that are NOT going to work. This will put your kitty through some pain. They sometimes scratch until there are sores and they get infected.

Answer 4

I use a combination of brewer's yeast and garlic tablets, powdered and mixed with a bit of his food. One of each, twice a week tends to work wonders, unless it is a heavy season for fleas.

As for the house, put a pie tin of soapy water in the middle of a room and put a small goose-neck lamp so the light shines down on it at night. Fleas will come and jump into the water and drown.

Just as an FYI, fleas can go for up to 4 years without feeding.

Answer 5

You can get herbal sprays to put on the cats that are -supposed- to help with fleas. The problem with most flea sprays is that they have to be sprayed and rubbed on pretty much daily if they're going to be effective. Don't know about you, but my cats hate spraying noises near them so they freak and it's hard to get the squigglers to stay still. Frontline Advantage Plus is best for fleas. It's not herbal, but it's effective guarenteed, and it helps give your kitty relief from flea biting faster and more effectively.

Answer 6

I think that most pet shops sell herbal flea collars but im not sure how effective they are because i always use frontline.

Answer 7

Yes but am not sure how effective they are. The best products are the frontline ones. Either the spray for cats or the little spot one you put at the back of the neck. The spot one is easiest to use. Hope this helps

Answer 8

None of them work well to de-flea you cat. Get Frontline

Answer 9

Do you mean de-fleaing a cat..The only product I use is Frontline
you can go to 1-800-petmeds and look it's on the net

Answer 10

Hi,

I've been told that garlic can help, but I'm not sure how effective it is as I haven't tried it. It's a "traditional" repellent for fleas.

Johnson's do a garlic tablet - i've attached a link to one of the sites that sells it.

Let us know if you find anything that does work!! xx

Answer 11

frontline is definately the best. if your cat is riddled however, i would go to the vets and get them to do it that once, to make sure you gfet them all off, then use the frontline regulary afterwards. not sure about the spray, and yes, my cats hate the spray noise too, but the dab on the neck stuff is once monthly i think, and is about £10 for 3 months supply.
