    Can a nursing mother wear a flea collar?
    Community Answer
    No,. It is not safe. Remember that a flea collar contains poisons and the kittens could lick or chew it.

    What about using diatomatious earth on 1-week-old kittens? We have supposedly high grade stuff.
    Community Answer
    You can safely wash the kittens in Dawn dishwashing detergent. It's good for taking care of fleas. And use a flea comb as well.

  • Question
    Is there an herbal treatment I can use on young kittens to treat for fleas?
    Community Answer
    There are some herbal remedies for cats, but you should go to the vet if it is serious so that you do not harm your kittens as kittens are more sensitive than cats.

    Dawn dish soap is good for getting rid of fleas fast. The pH of Dawn dish soap is neutral which makes it safe for use on cats, kittens, adult dogs and puppies. Try it out and keep your home and pets flea-free.
