Can You Vacuum Fleas Off a Cat? Exploring the Effectiveness and Risks of Using a Vacuum to Control Fleas on Cats
Vacuuming can be an effective way to get rid of fleas on your cat. Use a pet-specific vacuum attachment or a handheld vacuum to gently run over your cat’s fur, paying special attention to the base of the tail and under the legs. This can suck up both live fleas and their eggs. However, it’s best to also treat your home and cat with flea medication to completely eliminate the infestation.
