Don't do it at all. So yesterday I was watching animal cops San Francisco and there was a case of this neighborhood stray cat, everyone just take care of it. Well it started shaking and throwing up, it couldn't even stand up. The woman tell the animal cops that she had took it upon herself to treat the cat for fleas. Well they ran tests and done xrays.
They finally looked at the flea treatment box that the woman had given them. It was for dogs and big dogs at that. It was for 60 to 90 pound dogs, so she poisoned the cat. So they gave the cat fluids and such and now he is fine. But really I know she meant well but if you don't know what you're doing, please don't do it. I read a article in the local newspaper last summer that said that a lot of pets end up in the hospital cause owners think oh I'll just use any old flea stuff, its all the same.
Also it said that owners don't pay much attention to the weight requirements on the front of the box. It was more or less a warning to be careful with flea products.
