how to choose a good product.<\/p>\n<h2>Is Flea Shampoo Safe for Cats?<\/h2>\n<p>The only truly safe flea shampoo is mild dish soap. Every insecticide or essential oil-based flea shampoo has been associated with some kind of negative reaction.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, some products are safer than others, and yes, many people have used them without problems. But there\u2019s always a risk.<\/p>\n<p>If you do choose to take that risk, here\u2019s how to make an intelligent decision.<\/p>\n<p>Never treat your cat with a flea shampoo made for dogs. Because they groom themselves and are unable to process toxins the way some other animals can, cats need a special non-toxic flea shampoo. Always choose a flea shampoo explicitly made and marketed for cats.<\/p>\n<p>Even if you use a product made and sold for cats only, you need to be careful to choose a product made with cat-safe insecticides.<\/p>\n<p>Insecticide safety isn\u2019t as clearly defined and regulated as you might imagine. Some chemicals are believed safe for years before a respected entity starts putting together the pieces and recognizes they\u2019re not nearly as safe as previously assumed.<\/p>\n<p>All insecticides are made to kill, and though we rely on them only killing insects instead of our pets, there is always the risk of toxicity. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to be knowledgeable about the poisons used in your flea shampoo.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Click Here To Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/cats.com\/best-cat-shampoo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Best Cat Shampoo \u2013 Reviewing the Best Shampoo for Dandruff, Allergies, and More<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Is Flea Shampoo Safe for Kittens?<\/h2>\n<p>Not only most flea shampoos, but most flea treatments, are unsafe for kittens under 12 weeks of age. If you have a very young kitten with fleas, the safest treatment option involves a combination of flea combing and bathing with a gentle dish soap as well as steps to remove fleas from the environment.<\/p>\n<h2>Flea Shampoo Ingredient Glossary<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s essential that you familiarize yourself with the insecticides used in flea shampoo and can differentiate between safe products and those that could hurt your cat. Here are a few of the most common flea shampoo ingredients.<\/p>\n<h3>Pyrethrins<\/h3>\n<p>Pyrethrin insecticides are adulticides, so they only kill the adult fleas living on your cat\u2019s body. They don\u2019t do anything to prevent eggs from hatching and while they can ease your cat\u2019s itching and help you to get the infestation under control, adulticides alone will not end an infestation.<\/p>\n<p>Pyrethrins are naturally derived from the Chrysanthemum cinerariaefolium plant and other pyrethrum-related plant species.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is It Safe?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s important to distinguish pyrethrins from their synthetic counterparts, pyrethroids, a category that includes the infamous chemical permethrin. You\u2019ll often hear people fearmongering about \u201cpyrethrins and permethrins\u201d as if the two are equally dangerous to cats.<\/p>\n<p>While synthetic pyrethroids are toxic to cats, pyrethrins appear to be safe as long as they\u2019re applied correctly and in the appropriate concentration. Overdosing, ingesting, or inhaling pyrethrin chemicals, on the other hand, could cause signs of toxicity.<\/p>\n<h3>S-Methoprene<\/h3>\n<p>This insecticide is an insect growth regulator or IGR. While adulticides only kill adult fleas, IGRs prevent eggs and larvae from developing, thus keeping the infestation from spreading.<\/p>\n<p>Known as a juvenile hormone analog, S-methoprene mimics an insect\u2019s hormones and prevents fleas from producing eggs of their own. By interrupting the flea life cycle, this ingredient curbs the growth of the infestation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is It Safe?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www3.epa.gov\/pesticides\/chem_search\/reg_actions\/reregistration\/fs_PC-105401_1-Jun-01.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">EPA\u2019s fact sheet on IGRs<\/a>, \u201cIncidents of toxicity to cats from the use of products containing Methoprene have been reported to the Agency. EPA is investigating these incidents and evaluating domestic animal safety data for Methoprene to determine if the cause of the reported incidents is due to Methoprene or another ingredient in the products.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Pyriproxyfen<\/h3>\n<p>Like S-methoprene, pyriproxyfen is an insect growth regulator. It kills flea larvae and prevents new eggs from developing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is It Safe?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Research on its safety and toxicity is limited. EPA testing on rodents showed, among other side effects, decreased body weight and toxicity in the tested animals\u2019 offspring. While this chemical is generally considered safe, such results are concerning. You\u2019d be justified in avoiding this insecticide.<\/p>\n<h3>Piperonyl Butoxide and N-Octyl Bicyclopheptene Dicarboximide<\/h3>\n<p>Neither piperonyl butoxide or n-octyl cycloheptene dicarboximide are insecticides. Instead, they\u2019re synergists that help active insecticides to work effectively.<\/p>\n<h3>Inactive Ingredients<\/h3>\n<p>In addition to active ingredients like insecticides, cat flea shampoos usually contain some inactive ingredients to improve the consistency, color, scent, and feel of the product. These are usually safe, but it\u2019s important to read the label to check for anything your cat is allergic or sensitive to.<\/p>\n<h3>\u201cNatural\u201d Flea Shampoos<\/h3>\n<p>Here\u2019s the short story on so-called natural flea shampoos\u2014they don\u2019t work consistently and they could hurt your cat. They\u2019re typically made from essential oils, which can be helpful when used on other animals, including dogs, but can make your cat very sick.<\/p>\n<p>Essential oils are primarily composed of hydrocarbons and terpenoids. The problem is cats are deficient in glucuronidase, an enzyme that allows the liver to filter out these potential toxins.<\/p>\n<p>Without this enzyme working to process the terpenoids absorbed by the body, they\u2019ll start to build up and could make your cat sick.<\/p>\n<p>Some argue that high-quality, pure essential oils are safe for cats, but it\u2019s incredibly difficult to determine which oils are pure and which ones aren\u2019t.<\/p>\n<h2>So What&#8217;s the Best Flea Shampoo for Cats?<\/h2>\n<p>Because the formulation has the best safety record of all products on the market, every flea shampoo on this list is fundamentally the same. They\u2019re all pyrethrin-based shampoos varying only in concentration, labeling, and added inactive ingredients.<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-row card-review catscom-card-review cliverse-buttons-fixing\">\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"product-review-heading\">#1 <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/chewy.sjv.io\/c\/1397719\/3054490\/32975?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.chewy.com%2Fsentry-purrscriptions-plus-flea-tick%2Fdp%2F107255\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sentry Purrscriptions Flea Shampoo for Cats<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-51466 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/sentry.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"247\" height=\"366\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"cliverse-card-buttons links-wrap links-amz\">\n                                <a href=\"https:\/\/chewy.sjv.io\/c\/1397719\/3054490\/32975?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.chewy.com%2Fsentry-purrscriptions-plus-flea-tick%2Fdp%2F107255\" class=\"cats-btn pfs-shortcode pfs_product_price_button not-per_measure not-per_day\" data-upc=\"none\" data-price=\"$13.99 At Chewy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">$13.99 At Chewy<\/a>\n                        \n                                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.petco.com\/shop\/en\/petcostore\/product\/sentry-purrscriptions-plus-flea-and-tick-shampoo-for-cats-and-kittens\" class=\"cats-btn pfs-shortcode pfs_product_price_button not-per_measure not-per_day\" data-upc=\"none\" data-price=\"$13.99 At Petco\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">$13.99 At Petco<\/a>\n                        \n<\/div>\n<p>Pyrethrins synergized with piperonyl butoxide<\/p>\n<p>Sentry Purrscriptions flea shampoo is made with 0.50% piperonyl butoxide and 0.05% pyrethrins, so it\u2019s a relatively mild formula.
