I wear a flea collar myself.

More pets have had deadly reactions to this product, than been helped by it. Owners buy this product, hoping it will give their pet relief from fleas, instead, they end up watching the poor things suffer from hair loss, swelling, skin irritation, and suffereing from grand mal seizures. Unless you want to lose your pet, or drive to a pet ER in the middle of the night, hoping they can save them, DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT! Expensive as it maybe, Frontline would be your best bet. Avoid cheap knock offs, it's not worth what it'd really cost you in the end.

No i have heard this about sergents as well on a site they said there pets got very sick. I bought some and was going to use it and glad i didnt. I heard they become sick and need to be washed over head to toe and run to a vet. Not sure why this is even on the shelf. Save your money buy frontline or adavantage. Amazon.com has flea kits for $15 for 8 months and i have used this guy and they work great!! Plus i save $$$$

Frontline works much, much better.

Years ago, a newborn kitten was dropped in the middle of the road in front of a friends house. The mother was probably moving the litter and got scared by a car and dropped him. His eyes weren't even completely open yet. He was heavily infested with fleas. So we bathed him in warm water and Amway Liquid Organic Cleaner. The Amway LOC is so viscous that fleas can't get out of it. It also breaks the surface tension of water, so the fleas can't jump out of the water and thus, they drown. However, it is largely coconut oil and safe to bathe animals in. Each time we bathed him (and we did it nearly every day as this was before Frontline was on the market and he kept getting reinfested from her other animals), we'd have 50 to 100 drowned fleas in the bottom of the basin. This isn't the best way to treat fleas. It obviously doesn't prevent reinfestation. But it is a way to get fleas off a kitten or puppy too young to treat. If your other animals are treated your little one shouldn't have to deal with the level of reinfestation that that little guy did. Before Frontline, there just wasn't any good way to ensure your other animals didn't have fleas. If you use this method, be sure to work the soap into his hair in a ring around his neck before you wash the rest of him, otherwise the fleas will run up to his face and jump off when you put him in the basin. Since you can't put his face under water, they'll escape. But as long as you have it around his neck first, they'll be trapped on his body. Then soap up the rest of him and lower him into a basin of warm water to rinse him. The fleas will drown and rinse off with the soap.

Sargents makes kind of crappy products all around. See your vet about specific products for a kitten that young. Here is a supplement recipe I created and use for my animals that improves hair and coat and naturally controls fleas: http://hubpages.com/hub/Vitamin-Rich--Immune-Booster-Dog-and-Cat-Food If you start your kitten on this now, it should kick in within a month or so and you can fade any flea products you are using. To get rid of an infestation now, though, you will need to use some sort of medication or product. Again, see your vet for something specific to a young kitten. Hope this helps! :) Suzanne

I have 9 cats, and find Frontline Plus best for their flea control....I've used it for years.

I've noticed at Petco that they have the Brewer's Yeast and garlic pills for dogs .... I've given them to my dog for about a year and a half and he's NOT had any fleas or ticks etc .. However; I read that Garlic is NOT good for Dogs ... Does anyone know the validity in this statement ??? For now; that is what I continue to use ... +5
