how old do kittens have to be to get flea treatment
People will often recommend flea powders, flea rinses, essential oils and other chemicals that are far too dangerous to use on kittens less than 6 weeks old. It is not safe to put chemicals on kittens of less than six weeks of age. Fleas can also be very dangerous to young kittens and can even result in a kitten dying from anaemia so you do need to kill these fleas. If the kitten is with its mother and nursing it is more than likely that the mother cat has a flea infestation so first you need to treat the mother cat.
