My pet has fleas
There are many different ways to get rid of fleas but not all products are safe for puppies and kittens.
Please read all labels before using any product on your pet.
  • Flea Shampoos - Kills adult fleas on pet but does not prevent fleas.


  • Fleas Spray- Will prevent fleas for two to three weeks and may leave a residue.


  • Flea Dips - Kills fleas for two to three weeks and may leave a residue.


  • House Treatments - House treatments are an excellent form of flea control but can be dangerous to your pet if precautions are not taken. ALWAYS READ ALL LABELS!


  • Yard Treatments - Same as house treatments.


  • The Flea Pill - The pill taken once a month orally does not kill the adult fleas on your pet but it prevents the new eggs from hatching. Other flea preventatives must be used along with the pill to maintain flea control.


  • Flea Combs- The flea comb is an excellent method of flea control on puppies and kittens.
