What Oils Kill Fleas on Cats?

Pet owners often turn to pesticides to kill fleas that infest their pet dogs or cats. If ingested, these pesticides can cause health hazards to the animals and may even prove fatal. Natural essential and herbal oils kill fleas just as effectively as pesticides. However, some herbal oils that kill fleas on dogs may not prove equally effective for cats because cats tend to lick themselves clean. Oils that effectively control fleas in dogs, such as lemon oil, may cause digestive disorders in cats. Have a question? Get an answer from Online Tech Support now!

• How to Kill Fleas Naturally on Cats

1. Neem Oil

   • Neem oil can control fleas safely and effectively on cats. The bitter taste of neem oil prevents the cat from licking the oil off its fur. Neem's therapeutic properties will not cause digestive or other problems for cats if accidentally ingested.

   Eucalyptus Oil

   • Eucalyptus oil makes an inexpensive flea repellant. The oil sprayed on cats expels fleas quickly. Eucalyptus normally does not cause an adverse reaction in cats and is good for their respiratory health, if sprayed on after diluting the oil.

   Lavender Oil

   • Lavender oil mixed with water and sprayed on cats not only kills fleas on infected cats, but also helps make the cats smell better in the process. Spray lavender oil throughout the home, if the home has been infected. The lavender oil works as an effective and sweet smelling flea removal agent.

   Peppermint Oil

   • Peppermint not only tastes good, but also smells good. Spraying peppermint oil on the fur of your cats, and around the house, makes an effective and safe natural flea repellant. Peppermint also does not have any unpleasant side effects on cats if they lick their fur after application if properly diluted.

   Rosemary Oil

   • Rosemary not only has innumerable therapeutic benefits but also is a natural flea repellant and kills fleas on infected dogs and cats. Rosemary oil sprayed on cats and around the house will rid fleas from the animal and the home in a few weeks.

   Thyme Oil

   • Thyme oil effectively kills fleas on the body of cats, does not cause adverse reactions to the animal's internal systems, and offers a pleasant and natural alternative to pesticides to rid cats of fleas.

CAT DANDER MAKING YOU SICK ?

How to get rid of cat dander is an age old mystery. The short answer is there is no way to get rid of cat dander; but you can control it. Cat dander allergies are not the result of cat hair or by dead skin flakes, not entirely at least. Cat dander is what happens when the cat grooms itself and its saliva soaks the dead skin cells leaving a sticky residue on the hair. Dander is so potent it can pollute everything within 50 miles of open space. Use the following methods to help control cat dander in your house thus alleviating cat dander allergies. Oatmeal baths. Since dead skin cells one part of the equation, it is best to treat this condition first. Give the cat an Oatmeal bath once a week to exfoliate dead skin and keep the coat’s natural oils from trapping dead skin. Oatmeal also soothes itchiness and burning, so your cat won’t lick and scratch as often which is an important factor in controlling dander. Dander Wipes. Use dander wipes every day to control the cat dander. Allerpet – a popular brand – can be found in any pet store for as little as $5. Wipes remove dander from the cat’s fur. A cheaper alternative is to use a paper towel dampened with cat shampoo and water. Rubber gloves and hand washing afterwards is recommended by dermatologists. Feed Wet Food. Dry food provides no hydration. Cats that don’t get enough liquid develop skin problems. Water is an important ingredient in wet food and provides the proper moisture a cat’s skin needs. Be sure to provide plenty of water throughout the day, moreso during the spring and summer when heat encourages da

DO YOU HAVE A TO GO BAG FOR YOUR PET'S ?

Are you prepared? Pets Plan Keep a collar, current license and up-to date ID tags on your pet at all times. Consider having your pet micro-chipped. Make sure your pet is comfortable being in a crate, box, cage, or carrier for transport. Keep an updated list of trusted neighbors who could assist your animals in case of an emergency. Tighten and secure latches on birdcages. Fasten down aquariums on low stands or tables. Back to Top Kit Make a Go-bag for each pet. Include: Sturdy leashes and pet carriers. A pillowcase is a good option for transporting cats and other small animals. Muzzles for dogs. Food, potable water and medicine for at least one week Non-spill bowls, manual can opener and plastic lid Plastic bags, litter box and litter Recent photo of each pet Names and phone numbers of your emergency contact, emergency veterinary hospitals and animal shelters Copy of your pet’s vaccination history and any medical problems Portable fencing or baby gates Back to Top Respond Remember that animals react differently under stress. Keep dogs securely leashed and transport cats in carriers or pillowcases. If your pet is lost, contact the nearest animal shelter to report your pet missing. When it is safe, return to your neighborhood to search and distribute “Lost Pet” posters; include a current picture of your pet. Back to Top c Locate all your animals and keep them with you. Be aware that shelters will only allow service animals. In a large-scale disaster, animal shelters will be set up when possible. Animal Care and Control’s (ACC) facility at 15th and Harrison will be an animal sheltering resource. If you must leave your pets behind: Inform animal rescue workers of your pets’ status: On your front door or in a highly visible window, use chalk, paint or marker to write the number and types of pets in your residence. Include their location in your home and the date that you evacuated. Leave plenty of water in a large, open container that cannot be tipped over. Leave plenty of food in timed feeders to prevent your pet from overeating. Do not tie up your pet in your home.
