this female cat has never had fleas and has a litter of three that also has no fleas with no treatment. i have never heard of such. can someone tell me what kind of cats these are, I'm sure that they are rare. A cat must come in contact with a flea order to have them. In dry climates like Nevada most animals never get fleas and no treatment is ever necessary as the fleas can not survive. Your cat has probably never come in contact with them and if it has may be very good at cleaning itself to remove them.

If your dog has fleas I wouldn't suggest you use insecticide to get rid of them as it could harm your dog. You can easily obtain flea treatment shampoos and preventative measures to help stop them reappearing from any good pet store.

Get rid of them quickly using the appropriate treatment as fleas can lead to other dog health problems such as hair loss if the dog continually scratches in an attempt to find relief from the irritation.
Why does a cat scratch constantly causing scabs and loss of hair and is there a home remed?
The cat may have fleas. Check by collecting some scurf from its coat on a piece of white paper. Dampen the scurf slightly, if any of it turns reddish, the cat has fleas. I don't know of a home remedy. Ask in the drugstore or, better still, ask a vet. If it's not fleas the cat might have ringworm. This needs professional treatment. Skin allergy to flea faeces may be the cause of persistent scratching which can result in bleeding and the formation of scabs. A good quality tubed-ointment type flea-killer applied once per month to the nape of the neck has been known to effect an almost overnight cure from this very distressing condition.
