Want for something safe for my 18 year old indoor cat who has never had fleas and flea bites before this as we live in a high elevation. Any advice?

the advantage II is a good product. have used it on my 14month old kitty, and so far have not seen any ticks or fleas. just squeeze the tube on the back of the skull, (move all the fur aside, until you reach it's skin), so kitty cannot lick it.

I have used it on our inside cat and he is 13 years old. We have not had any issues at all. We do not live in a high Elevation area though. It seems to work though.

I tried this on my cat, and it works real well. Never any problems at all. Thanks frostbyte45

I have 2 cats, ages 3 and 9. They have had flea treatments since they were old enough [see directions on product]. They have had no adverse reactions and it does work. Maybe you should consult with a vet before using it on an elder kitty - who hasn't used the product before? - to see if the dosage & ingredients would pose a problem.

I would call The company on that. Ill say if you have fleas in your house on the carpet you should dust or with a layer of salt and leave it for like 2 days it will naturally dry them out and it will vaccum up later. I would do this while you treat the cat since that tends to be how they stay in the house. I'm not a fan of over doing chemicals.

I do. I spray lightly over the whole bed, spreads, comforters etc. No issue from doing that. This year I sprayed the entire house and am not using a flea product on the 3 cats or a dog. Its been month, and no one has fleas yet! We are in SC and its hot,humid, and buggy. But for 4 animals not to have a flea problem this far into summer is very good, and unusual. Love this product.

When I was living in Oregon, I placed this device in my living room which had the most bugs. I always found dead pill bugs, spiders, & earwigs. We didn't have a problem with fleas, since Oregon is mostly cold and wet. All you can do is try and see. You may want to use a can of fumigator (store) which we used before moving in a house.

It is safe to use on your pet and therefore safe for carpets! HOWEVER, if the space is large you should use a bomb and then vacuum it up. I wouldn't have my children on the carpet after it is sprayed. I would recommend vacuum every day and not spray the carpets to keep the chemicals out of the house. Use the Spray for small confined areas that are heavily infested. Wash laundry often. It takes atleast 8 weeks to rid fleas from a house.

I use an internal flea preventative called Nexguard, so don't have to worry.

It has been awhile since I have had, or even petted a rabbit, but I seem to recall their coats not that different than a cats. They may be a little more sensitive so just go easy until your rabbit is used to the combing. It has close set teeth which is why if is great for fleas. Actually my cats don't have fleas, and haven't since a neighbors infestation five years ago so I bought this flea comb because I have Psoriasis. I love to brush my hair bent over and brushing downward. When it is thoroughly brushed I comb my scalp really good with the flea comb before applying my liquid medicine. So there you have it. It has a lot of uses. The teeth can bend if the hair is not first combed for either a cat, dog, rabbit, or me. Just go easy, you're not trying to gouge roads in their skin, just comb, and remove debris, or fleas. If you are going for fleas it is a good idea to have a jar of alcohol handy to immediately dunk the comb into before the loathsome little critter jumps off and back onto your pet, into your hair, your carpet, on your bed, or even the lawn where you could end up with an outdoor infestation problem.

I have used this product on my cat for 14 years. I have never seen even one flea on her. I empty the tubes into a glass vile and use only what is recommended for my cat. She gets treated once a month. Advantage has never failed her. Buying in bulk is a whole lot cheaper than buying those small, single-use tubes for cats.

I hear some flea populations can be more fierce than others. But here in southern California, I put this on a stray cat that adopted me as she wanted to come in my house. She's been using it for two months, and I only find a few fleas here and there. Perhaps two a week - she is still outdoors everyday. You might give it a try! :) You're a kind soul!

Be very careful with kittens, you can poison them quickly with these types of flea control. The product must say 'Kittens' if it is safe for use. I recommend using a different product on a kitten. I hope this helps.

I would not. Go to Walmart they have a natural flea spray in the pet section (has cloves in it). for $4-5 dollars, it will kill the fleas on contact. This Frontline was a waste of $60. I will never order it again, not what it was 10 years ago.

I have no experience with Advantage 1, but do use the 11 on my indoor/outdoor cat, and no fleas...she spends a lot of time out and in my gardens, loves to hide in the bushes. I'll stick with Advantage 11. Hope it works for you too.

Sorry Joe, I only used this in my house. For out in the yard (almost an acre) I ordered some chemicals from another online site. Just Google fleas in yard. I sprayed the yard with a pump sprayer.

This one is for medicinal purposes mainly. You may want to visit your local hardware store for flea killer.

Stop in at a Petsmart. They usually have a Vet at Banfield and would probably advise you about the product for cats, or you could call Proden directly.

Suspend SC is not the best choice for indoor flea control because you can not broadcast spray it over carpeted areas. I recommend using Ultracide for indoor fleas. Ultracide is a very effective flea control aerosol that provides immediate kill of adult fleas and prevents formation of new adults from eggs or larvae. http://www.amazon.com/Ultracide-flea-Tick-Professional-Control-Product/dp/B002QS0WDO Ultracide spray is very effective at killing fleas and their eggs. Also use a flea powder on carpets to kill multiple stages of larvae growth... http://www.amazon.com/NaturVet-Flea-Carpet-Crystals-lbs/dp/B003FVWCFM/ref=sr_1_21?s=pet-supplies&ie=UTF8&qid=1372616547&sr=1-21 this combination will rid you of fleas completely in about 3 days.

I really don't know. At the time our cat was very tiny and she had brought in the fleas. She was a drop-off so we got her something for baby kitten. Was really great on dogs and probably would be ok in smaller amounts for cats.
