What is the fastest way to get rid of fleas on a kitten Under 8 Weeks Old?
The best flea treatment for kittens under 8 weeks of age is using a cat flea comb. Be careful when using the flea comb, as the kitten will have fine hair. Dunk the flea comb, that is holding the fleas, into a bucket of water containing mild soap.
Dislodge the fleas into the bucket, by swishing the comb around. Repeat the process.
If there are many fleas, consider giving the kitten a bath.
