How to Completely Remove Fleas from a Cat's Body

To thoroughly remove fleas from a cat's body, you can use topical insecticides containing ingredients such as selenium sulfide and methoprene. Since young cats have weaker bodies, it is necessary to choose low-dose insecticides or use tools such as combs to comb through the cat's hair and remove fleas, which is a safer method. For adult cats, you can choose the appropriate dose of insecticide based on the cat's weight, and thoroughly clean the living environment and items used by the cat.

How to Remove Fleas from Adult Cats

First, use a flea comb to remove fleas from the cat's hair, then weigh the cat and choose an appropriate dose of insecticide based on the weight. Topical insecticides containing selenium sulfide and methoprene have a good effect on flea removal. Note that cats should not be bathed for three days before and after the insecticide application. Also, if there are multiple cats in the house, infected cats should be isolated promptly and the living environment should be treated with insecticides.

How to Remove Fleas from Young Cats

Young cats can use low-dose insecticides containing selenium sulfide. If the cat's weight is less than 1 kilogram, use it under the guidance of a pet doctor to prevent poisoning due to excessive dosage. Since fleas are highly contagious, infected young cats should be isolated from healthy ones, and the cat's mother and littermates should also be cleaned of fleas.

Points to Note

After treating the cat with insecticides, we need to conduct a thorough insecticidal treatment of the living environment to prevent repeated infections by family members and cats. First, isolate the cat to a safe place, spray insecticides containing non-propiconazole around the house, wash and disinfect all items used by the cat, and finally open the windows for ventilation.
