Dog fleas are a different species than cat fleas, and flea collars are designed for the specific flea type. A dog collar on a cat would probably be less effective, or may not work at all.
Can you use a flea collar while using frontline on your dogs?
Frontline by itself should be sufficient to deal with your cat or dog's flea problem. Using a flea bath will reduce the effectiveness of the Frontline (you should only wash your dog with a gentle shampoo to maintain Frontline's protection).

Can you use frontline and a flea collar?
No. Frontline products should be used on the specified species. This is because one of the main components of Frontline, S-Methoprene is needed in a higher dose in cats. This is because it does not last as long in a cat than in a dog. So, if you used Frontline for dogs on your cat, it may not be as effective. However, this higher dose is still safe to use on a dog - so you could use Frontline for cats on a dog.

Is there a homemade flea repellent that actually works?
There are many natural products you can buy and one is 'Sergaents Nature's Guardian. You can also go to a large Health Food Store and ask their advice. Putting a small amount of crushed garlic or (no odor garlic oil) into your dog or cat's food is also said to repel fleas. When giving the oil please check with your vet to be sure how much you should give your dog or cat. The old saying 'if you have a cat, you have fleas' is true. Still, just having a dog that is out in the backyard off and on is enough to bring fleas indoors. People also bring fleas into the home! If someone is cutting their lawn they will often bring in fleas without knowing it. Fleas love the corners of rooms so every day vacuuming is a MUST and get in those corners as well as vacuuming carpets, mats, under the cushions of sofas and the sofas.. I use a piece off a flea collar in my vacuum bag and you can also do this with a natural flea collars. It is best to use a spray or oil put between the dog or cat's shoulder blades rather than a flea collar of any sort. Flea collars can often cause irritation around the neck of pets.
What to do put dog flea med on cat?
You should not put flea meds for dogs on cats. They are much too strong and will make the cat very sick if not actually kill it. If you have done this by mistake, the cat should be bathed thoroughly with a gentle shampoo IMMEDIATELY. Do NOT use a flea shampoo to bathe the cat!
Your Cat has tapeworm your dog was dewormed in October do you need to still get him checked out or dewormed again?
I would get your cat and dog dewormed for tapeworms, but it may be ideal to ask the vet first. Just remember that the flea is the intermediate host. In other words, the only way your cat or dog can become infected with tapeworms is for them to ingest a flea that has eaten tapeworm eggs. Your dog or cat could eat feces that is full of tapeworm eggs and never become infected with tapes, they have to eat the flea itself. A flea jumps on the dog or cat and the cat or dog bites at it and accidentally ingests it. Then they get the tapeworm. So deworm for tapes for both the cat and dog, make sure the medication says it will get rid of tapeworms. You can find this medication at your Vets office. You have to purchase a different one that is safe for cats so read the label carefully, as cats and dogs need completely different doses. Never give a cat wormer meant for a dog. The next thing you have to do is to keep your animals from becoming re infected with tapeworms, is to keep the fleas off of them. Use once a month a flea & tick preventative. You just put it on topically, right on the skin once a month.
