Q: Where is the Best Area to Apply Flea Drops?
Q: I just watched your video on applying flea drops to the base of the neck. What if the directions say to put it down the center of their back? I understand what you said about them licking it off, and that makes perfect sense. Even if it says to put it down the center of their back, will it still work if I apply it your way?
A: It should work if you apply it at the base of the neck. Which flea product are you using? The ones that I really like are Frontline and Revolution for cats. While there are other great preventatives out there, there are certain pet store over the counter products that can be toxic to cats. Check with your veterinarian first if you are not using a product purchased through a veterinary office just to make sure it's safe for your pet.

My Rotten Brat - Overdose???? April 20, 2009 8:14 PM
My neighbor's cat has been prescribed .01 ml of Buprenex up to twice a day, but he just gave kitty 2. ml, two full syringes full of Buprenex!! He will not take kitty to vet. Should I snatch kitty and take to doc, or will kitty just take a long nap and be okay? Help!

one of my cats goes crazy when I try to put any kind of drops on the back of her neck as described in the instructions, I am finding this impossible to do, I was told an alternative would be to put them at the base of the tail.... is this true?
