My cat still has fleas after treatment. How can I get rid of them?

Question

We washed our cats with flea and tick treatment Monday 2 times to get rid of them. That night we gave them pet armor plus. Thurs as we comb them they still have tons of more fleas now. They were jumping and saw about 13. We stopped combing so more wouldn't come out. I was thinking of putting a color on her but not sure if that is bad double medicating her. We washed her again with dawn soap. What should I do? Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Mediumhair | Female | 9 years and 8 months old | 10 lbs

Unfortunately Pet Armor is a very poor product, and I don't recommend it. Flea collars typically don't work unless you get a good one like Seresto. I would get them Capstar. It's a one time pill that starts killing fleas in 30 minutes. It's safe to give with the Pet Armor, and give it daily until two weeks have passed after you put on the Pet Armor. Then applied a good flea treatment program like Revolution or Advantage. You also have to disinfect the environment, as that will be a continuing source of fleas . Wash their 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. I hope this helps!
