<h4 class="dechead">On One Hand: Flea Drops Can Be Toxic to Some Animals
Some flea drop brands used to eliminate fleas have been found to be unsafe for pets. There have been cases of seizures, skin irritation and hair loss. Remember to always check the brand and manufacturer and read the instructions provided with the flea drops. Bath your pet if he begins to show signs of a negative reaction to flea drops. Consult your veterinarian if symptoms become severe or linger.
On the Other: Most Flea Drops are Generally Safe and Effective
If used properly, flea drops can be quite helpful. They are also generally safe, even if your pet licks the area where the drops were applied. Manufacturers of flea drops have tested whether the drops are safe if ingested.
Bottom Line
Use of flea drops usually does not affect pets adversely, but try to make sure your pet does not lick the area soon after application in case of an allergic reaction. When done with the flea drops and your pet is free of fleas, return the unused portion to the pharmacy or veterinarian. These outlets are better equipped to dispose toxic substances.
