Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Male | 15 lbs

I used hartz ultra guard on my adult cat and he had a bad reaction to it. We gave him a bath with dawn and now he is back to his normal self and we're keeping a close eye on him. Is it safe for my 5 week old kitten to be around him? I don't want her to get sick.

Yes, it is safe for your kitten to be around him. i do not recommend using any Hartz products, they are terrible and side effects are so common. here is the list of the best flea products on the market. Spot ons: Revoulution Advantage Advantage Multi ( Frontline (ticks as well) Bravecto spot on (ticks as well) Tablets: Comfortis Collar: Seresto ( (ticks as well) House spary: Indoorex
