How to Find Fleas on Kittens Video

Fleas are dangerous parasites, but especially for kittens because they are much more vulnerable at this stage of their lives.

In this short video a practicing veterinarian demonstrates how to diagnose flea problems on kittens.

The easiest way to look for fleas on kittens is with a fine tooth flea comb, which are readily available at any pet store.

As shown in the video, you want to start at the base of the kittens head and work your way to the base of the tail. If there is a flea problem, you will find fleas and/or brown specks on the comb.
