Flea Treatment
I have two outdoor cats. Bathing them with Flea & Tick Shampoo for Cats is part of our routine, especially in spring and summer.
My question is: what is the best procedure to prevent fleas in outdoor cats?

#1. Fleas & Tick Shampoo for Cats - using it mostly in spring and summer.
#2. Dawn dish soap - I add just a drop (it can strip natural oils from cats' skin) when I am giving a bath to my cats.
And I am adding a little bit of it to Diatomaceous earth when I sprinkle my yard.
#3. Pet & Home Spray - obvious
#4. FURminator - my cat with long hair just love it! He is waiting for his 10 minutes daily procedure.
It's a great tool for reducing shedding and keeping your cat's fur clean, but fleas are tricky—they hide deep in the fur.
#5. A flea comb – Fine-toothed and more effective at catching fleas and eggs.
#6. Advantage - I apply it once a month

I use Flea & Tick Shampoo regularly, especially during spring and summer when fleas are most active.
A flea comb is handy to check for fleas or flea dirt and remove any early signs of infestation.
My cats are indoor/outdoor - I need keeping the grass short and reducing flea-prone areas helps minimize exposure.
