Anyone know of a good, safe flea med for kittens? My 8-week-olds have a fairly bad case of the bloodsucking parasites, and no amount of flea-combing seems to cut down their numbers, and I hate to bathe them, as the water almost immediately turns red and they squeak terribly (and in obvious pain). I feel sorry for the tiny creatures, and would like to help rid them of the fleas before the fleas rid me of them.

Flea Control For Kittens?

At 8 weeks old the vet should be able to give them something, but I would not uise any OTC product on them, especially if they have a bad infestation they should be examined for anaemia.
They should now at 8 weeks old be old enough for Frontline Plus. It works great!!!
If you use Frontline and Capstar together you are bound to get rid of the fleas completely. Capstar is a pill that causes the fleas to start dropping dead in 30 minutes. Lots of vets will prescribe flea medication without charging for an office visit.
Advantage, is the best!
My vet prescribes Advantage rather than Frontline. I thought the two were about the same but I guess not. CommonOddity042, I know from experience that Advantage works, so I would recommend that. Note: We are talking about Bayer's Advantage, not Hartz (who should be sued by Bayer for using that name and misleading people)
