| Flea comb... Someone asked about what we do for fleas and i forgot to mention that at least twice a day I run a flea comb thro Pita. It is a small comb with teeth very close together. If i come across a flea I send it down the sink! It saves on bathing her every time I see a flea! |

I had tenants once with a cat that let the place get infested with fleas and after emptying the place, cleaning and bombing twice I had to call an exterminator to get rid of them. | |

| Yes I know what you are saying, Pita gets Revolution once a month AND K9 Advantix and she takes a Brewer's Yeast every day, I bathe her once or twice a week also, I live on 4 acres with a ton of cats and various animals so fleas are a part of our daily life, so i was just saying in addition to everything else I do i flea comb her. The other medications only work when fleas bite, so with the comb I can get fleas off of her before they have bitten her. I just make it part of the routine when we come in from playing outside, this way I can prevent flea infestations. |

I just wanted to note for others that might read ONLY your 1st post about the comb and think that was all they had to do to stay flea free. | |

| I use advantage and have only had a problem with fleas when I didnt stay on schedule with putting it on. I use the flea comb to comb Chachis hair out after giving him a bath.
