my vet said that the only thing that works really welll is the shampoo, she said the shampoo needs to be used before any other topical, to actually KILL them, but i have a cat , and he was terrified when we washed him, he cut up my moms arms and i dont think we can wash him again, ( my vet said do it once a week for 4 weeks) we are using a powder on him , will that wok? if not what do you reccomend using instead of shampoo?

@TheShannonMontana There are safe options for cats. Without endorsing a specific product on this site...we recommend You call vet hospitals and ask what they recommend for cats.

My dog has a lot fleas and hot spots ! and we would take him to the vet but he is an aggressive dog. and will most likely bite you! And he doesn't let us put a mussel on him because he knows what it is even the sight of a mussel he goes in attack mode. What can we do he is a white dog and you can immediately tell the red spots on his back and tail hes even loosing his hair!!

@BubbleProductions51 - possibly the vet could give a sedative for you to administer prior to the visit. some veterinarians do house calls.

I literally went to PetSmart after watching this video and I asked for chewable flea control for my cats and they said they never heard of such product for cats. Can you please tell me where I can get one for my cats? Thank you!

@bstunt We recommend that you talk to your veterinarian regarding flea control specifically for your pet...not the pet store.
