@MsCHINADOLL1990

I would never put anything on my cats again, I would rather comb the fleas out one at a time, but if you must put a product on the only one I would even consider trusting is Frontline and even then be careful and watch carefully.

My new kitten had a drop of this on his neck, and, he slep with his eyes open and started shaking. I'm afraid to use anything anymore. He is alive, and Jayy will be under intense care. I need a treatment, or he'll die anyway.

@FunsizedBytch

Your kitten needs to be treated by a vet.

Ok So what is safe to use to get rid of fleas on a cat ?

[hzierhut]

@eurobarbiegirl

Dawn dish soap is safest. If you must use a flea product, Frontline is the only one I would usr

[krissygirl333]

OH I totally agree, BUT how am I to know !!! word of mouth. I never heard of this !!! I just shampooed my dog in HARTZ bullshit and she is sick. My VET told me to use HARTZ for fleas. I am leaving his clinic. AN IDIOT. I am pissed. I am posting this on facebook. I hope she gets better.

@TimeTravelerTN Try looking at the ingredients and see if it does use Pyrethin or Pyrethriods.Front-Line and Advantage are usually the safest ones.Pets aren't normally harmed that Front-Line,depending on just how sensitive your dog is.

My kitty Faith almost DIED from using BioSpot Spray crap!The lady told me to rub the spray into her fur,and that it was safe enough to use on my cat and my 3 kittens.SURE!My little kittens were fine,but after 10 minuets she was bleeding from her nose,having seizures,couldn't walk,had trouble moving.Her eyes swelled up.Three days later she pulled through foaming at the mouth due to getting that crap out of her.She's okay for the most part now.NEVER using that crap again!!!

I am currently going through the horror of bio-spot product now. My poor cat. I took her to the vet and not much they can do to rid her of the poison. Just something to help calm her nervous system down and wait it out and see if she is able to pull through. I am so angry. How in the hell are these companies able to keep thier poisons on the shelves? These things are just harmful to pet but to us too.

This is why I only get my flea and tick meds from my Veterinarian. My vet only sells the Advantage line of products, never had a problem with any of my animals with Advantage. 3 Cats and 1 Dog.

I'd like to point out that I used their product wrong too, I put it on him and washed it off. Did not leave it on for 5 minutes like the directions say to. I guess if i'd just learn to follow directions my dog could be dead instead of slowly getting better. Dam what was I thinking using it wrong?

[iamaretard]

I'd like to thank sergeants for almost killing my dog twice. Once because I used their flea/tick shampoo on him, that had no warning about seizures or nerve damage on it. Then again when because of the damage it caused to him he fell off the bulkhead and into the lake and wait, the dog that loved water cant swim now. So as he started to sink, I had to go in after him. But thats ok because it was a hot day after all and we needed a good swim.

[FightingForSanity]

May change the labels?! You better pull that bullshit poison off the shelves, you idiots!

[redhawtmella]

I used Hartz One Spot years ago on a cat. All of her hair fell out, her skin was inflammed and oozing. I had to give her steriod injections to help her. I've never used it since. I prefer not to use ANY topical treatments on my dogs, and only use Sentinel.

[samiama11]

I would NOT use rubbing alcohol on your pet!! It can be absorbed through the skin! That's why we don't give people rubbing alcohol baths to bring down fever any more!!! Please use care with natural remedies, remember pyrethrums are derived from chrysanthemums!! We love our pets for sure so find a vet you can trust and ASK! My vet is super cool. They use all kinds of alternative therapies , treatments. Good luck!

[loveablepooch]

This is exactly why I use flea & tick repellents made from natural oils such as cedar oil & lavender oil. They are both SAFE for cats AND dogs (do not use on rodents or small animals) and they smell nice.
