Consult a veterinarian for flea control products. Use flea collars. Flea collars are impregnated with an insecticide that is distributed through the pet's fur, generally by grooming, to kill fleas. Do not keep flea collars on the pet permanently. Be careful to check for dermatitis under the collar.
Dust pets with a pyrethrin or salicylanilide.
One disadvantage to dusts is that they can be ingested during grooming, particularly by cats. Suggestions For Indoors Vacuum pet areas at least twice a week and discard the vacuum bag immediately. Exclude pets from carpeted areas so fleas are not a problem there from the start. Work borate products registered for fleas, including boric acid and borax, into carpets as an effective treatment. Boric acid may discolor some carpets, so be sure to test a small area first.
