I'm sorry your cat has fleas! You can take it into Petco to be treated for it, and you can buy the medications you need there to treat the fleas. I would call you local Petco to get an office visit price, and I will give you the flea treatment program I typically recommend. First, I would give him Capstar. It's a one time pill that starts killing fleas within 30 minutes. Then follow up with a spot on treatment, such as Advantage or Revolution. This is a treatment that has to be used once a month. You will also have to disinfect the environment. Wash his bedding in hot soapy water, and vacuum the furniture and carpet surfaces. You can use a spray to kill fleas in the house, such as Indorex, or a flea bomb would work well to kill the fleas in the home. Good luck, I hope this helps!

Thank you for contacting Boop by Petco. I personally have found some resistance to Frontline, so I will give a flea treatment program that has always worked for me. First, I would give him Capstar.

my dog has fleas. one of your grooming options are for fleas. do i have to take him to a vet first or can i bring him in to be groomed and have the Skin itch solution applied to him during grooming to resolve his issues
Rather than using the grooming option for fleas, do the following: Unfortunately fleas only hop on the body of your pet when they want to feed, then they hop off again and stay in your pet's environment. So you need to treat all pets in the household as well as the environment (which contains the fleas, their eggs and larvae). Flea treatment:  1) Get some flea medication such as a Flea spray or a spot on from a pet shop or your veterinarian and apply monthly 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 and eggs 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. Flea products: Spot-ons and/or chews Advantage, Advantix Advantage Multi (Advocate in the UK) Frontline (ticks as well) Bravecto spot on (ticks as well) - for cats, in tablet form for dogs Simparica,

My kitten has fleas. Do I take my kitten to the Petco Vet to exam her and to find out if they could remove it and add a Fleas Collar to prevent additional fleas
Usually monthly treatment is needed if your cat has access to the outside. you can go to the vetco clinic for that, i do not recommend an additional collar on top of the treatment that you and your vet will choose.

We have 2 50 lb. hound mixes that we have been using Bravecto on for several years successfully. We also have 5 indoor cats, 2 of which came back from the vet recently with fleas. Our dogs have been scratching non-stop
Oh no, that's terrible! I can give you a flea treatment program for the cats. First, I would give them Capstar. It's a one time pill that starts killing fleas within 30 minutes.

You can also give the dogs Capstar to get rid of the fleas they have on them now. I hope this helps!
