Kennel dip contains permethrin and is not safe for cats and rabbits. If you want to fight fleas in your house, do the following: 1) Get some flea medication such as a Flea spray or a spot on such as Frontline from a pet shop or your veterinarian and apply monthly. Do NOT apply Frontline to rabbits. 2) get flea powder, put some in your vacuum cleaner bag and vacuum your house and furniture and also non-carpeted areas frequently to remove flea larvae which live off house dust., Dispose of the bag in the trash outside. Hot-wash all the pet's bedding, If you do this diligently for a few months you will get rid of the fleas.
