Is kennel dip spray safe for my home with cats, rabbits, and dogs?

I actually do not recommend flea dips at all, and don't know of any veterinarians who still do them. It's much safer to give an oral medication to get rid of the fleas, such as Capstar, then treat Lipton with a monthly flea preventative after that to keep her from becoming re-infested. Capstar tablets are very inexpensive, normally less than $10 in my area. You should be able to get them from your vet :)

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I would recommend getting Mayor on a flea prevention from a veterinarian. These are given every 30 days and need to be used for at least 3 months. You must also treat all the pets in the home. The fipronil products are safe to use at home- just follow the instructions on the packaging. The most important treatment is treating Mayor monthly with a product from his vet. He is the source of the fleas. Kisses to Mayor!

Hi and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I don't believe in using any dips anymore since we have such great flea/tick products and other ways to treat mange or other skin problems. Using dips is very antiquated and should be avoided at all costs in my opinion. We have gone away from dips starting in about the mid 1990's when flea/tick products starting coming out. Also we have learned how to treat mange and other skin problems with newer drugs and techniques where dips are no longer necessary. But to answer your question, yes you will smell a residual odor on Duke if he was dipped for a parasite problem, etc. The changes if any of the hair coat should resolve over time if any are apparent. Good luck with Duke. Again I would advise safer methods to treat whatever it is you were having treated.

Flea dips are not really used anymore now days, bit the you will need to buy a good quality flea treatment and that should solve your flea problem. here is the list of the best flea products on the market. Spot ons: Revoulution Advantage Advantage Multi Frontline (ticks as well) Bravecto spot on (ticks as well) - for cats Tablets: comfortis Collar: Seresto ( (ticks as well) House spary: Indoorex

I worry about this product, because it contains a pesticide that can be toxic if used in too high of a concentration. However, the way this is meant to be used is more like a bathing product. It should be diluted per the manufacturer's directions and then the cats should be bathed per the directions. After the bath, the solution should be thoroughly rinsed and is not meant to stay on the skin, so there should be no concern of them licking it. I prefer other products for controlling fleas though, because this one would have to be repeated. Other products like spot-ons (i.e. Frontline, Revolution) or tablets (i.e. capstar) will control the fleas for an entire month. Treating for fleas is not just restricted to the host, because fleas can reproduce and nest in the environment and continually cause an issue. Below is a link to a short article that explains treating the cats and environment for fleas: https://www.petcoach.co/article/5-tips-to-get-rid-of-fleas/ I hope that helps and the kitties get better soon.

You can safely use it, just keep Mia out of the room where you use it until the product is dry. I would have her visit a friend while you treat your house and car, and once it's dry, you can take her home.

I like all of the Bayer products. They have topical treatments for the pet, flea and tick collars that last eight months and a safe in house spray to treat the furniture and carpet. Bayer products are sold at PetCo. They are a reputable company that stands by their products and I personally have never seen a problem after treatment. As with all products please read the label carefully and follow the directions. I recommend treating all of the pets in the house in addition to treating the indoor rooms.
