Small~Fluffy · #1 (**permalink**) 24-03-2009, 04:17 PM

Can anyone advice please.
My little girl is 23 days pregnant (hopefully) and for the first time since last summer just found a flea
The frontline spray says it can be used BUT can it safely?
I can't find any on the dogs and still waiting to grab the cat...

I also will Skoosh the house if safe?

Can someone please help as don't wont to risk the pups health but dont want fleas either

if it says it is ok to use on pregnanct bitchs etc it should be fine.

I fleaed and wormed mine before she went to stud. so it was already in her system.

I flea them once every 3 months, which is nearing the end, but didn't expect a stray flea
Never really suffered from them, but hubby has cut the lawns and its been hot & sunny for days now, so wondering if the cat brought it in.

She was wormed beforehand but not frontlined

Thanks for your help

Thanks Trish
I decided to do the cat & the other 3 dogs + the home in the end.
Even though it says its safe, just didn't like the idea of doing it.
Hopefully thats enough ammunition to see the little blighter off

I only use the flea preperations from when it gets warm (normally around now) until around the end of September.

Hi DT
We normally do every 3 months but the winter one we just do a little round the neck and cheeks as the flea has to go to the dogs mouth to drink, so will always pass by the neck and cheeks.

Think it was the cats new pet it wont be missed
