Want to learn how to remove fleas from kittens? The truth is, there are a lot of different ways to get rid of fleas. What works best varies depending on the situation. Is your kitten older than 12 weeks old? What’s their health like? Have they already been treated by a veterinarian? Are they currently showing symptoms of flea allergies? Do you want to spend a lot of money on expensive store-bought flea treatments or are you looking for a more affordable option? Fleas aren’t just annoying…they can cause serious harm to your cat’s health. Seriously, if you can’t handle a tiny flea infestation, get out of the house. Just kidding. But it is important that you get your kitten treatment for fleas as soon as possible. The last thing you want is for your kitten to scratch itself too much and make itself sick with an infection. Good thing we’re here to help you deal with flea bites on kittens! Flea removal from kittens is necessary to make sure that they stay healthy and their fur is not damaged by their parasites. However, it’s important to remember that fleas can be harmful to newborn pets, so it’s vital to take certain precautions during flea removal. We discuss those precautions below.
How To Remove Fleas From Kitten
Introduction
Kittens are cute, but they can be a lot of work. Even if you give your new kitten routine grooming and baths, fleas can still happen. Removing fleas from your kitten is essential for their health and well-being. Here, we will discuss how to remove fleas from your kitten, as well as when you should see a veterinarian.
Routine Grooming
Grooming is important for kittens, and it’s also a good way to check for fleas and any potential health problems. Kittens can be quite sensitive to over-grooming, so work with your vet to find out how often you should be bathing them.
- How to groom a kitten: To start grooming your kitten, use warm water and a small amount of mild shampoo on her back or belly area first (you should not use conditioner). Then rinse off the soap thoroughly with cold water until all traces are gone before moving on to another part of her body. Kittens may try biting you during this process so make sure you have some toys handy if necessary!
- Frequency: You should brush your kitten at least once per week; depending on how fast she grows her coat may require daily brushing after about six months old or so
Flea Comb
- The flea comb is a fine-toothed comb that will help to remove the fleas from your kitten’s fur.
- Begin by starting at the top of your cat’s head and gently combing through their fur in the direction of hair growth.
- Use long strokes from their tail to their head, making sure to get all areas of your cat’s body between these two points as well as under their neck and along their legs.
- If you have a lot of fur, continue this process until you have completely covered every inch of your kitten’s skin with a stroke down one side and then up the other (you do not need to take the same path each time).
Using a Bath
- Get your kitten ready. Fill the tub with warm water, and leave the room while you get the kitten accustomed to being in there.
- Use a flea shampoo or a mild pet shampoo. The best way to remove fleas from kittens is by bathing them every couple of weeks, but this can be difficult if they don’t like being in water. If they are reluctant, try introducing them slowly over time by having them play in shallow water or giving them baths outside so they can go right back into their yard after drying off (and then later indoors).
- Don’t worry about getting soap in their eyes—you’ll be rinsing it out quickly anyway! Just make sure you turn on the faucet and have towels ready before placing them into the tub so that nothing goes wrong during their first time getting wet.”
Killing Fleas with Shampoo
You can treat a flea infestation with the use of a commercial flea shampoo. It’s important to make sure your kitten is not allergic to any of the ingredients in these shampoos, so do some research before purchasing one and read all instructions carefully. Use only a small amount of shampoo as it will not be effective if too much is applied. Rinse thoroughly and dry your kitten. Repeat as necessary until all fleas have been removed from their fur.
Natural Remedies
- Natural Remedies
In order to remove fleas from your kitten, you can try using any of the following natural ingredients:
- Lemon juice
- Garlic oil (this is applied topically)
- Tea tree oil (also applied topically)
- Peppermint oil (applied topically)
- Coconut oil (applied topically or taken internally)
Regularly grooming your kitten and keeping him or her clean can reduce the risk of fleas.
Regularly grooming your kitten and keeping him or her clean can reduce the risk of fleas. Fleas are attracted to the hair, so regular grooming helps to keep it free of debris and fleas. A thorough brushing can be done with a comb or a brush, depending on what’s more comfortable for you. If your kitten has long hair, brushing will prevent matting and help keep their coat shiny and healthy; however, if you’re planning on keeping your pet short-haired (and it’s not too hot outside), consider cutting his or her coat short so that there’s less access for parasites to get trapped in the fur.
