Hello everyone! I'm taking my two young cats to the vets in the next week or two for a check-up. I've been using the Advantage spot-on for flea prevention but find it really hard to get the nozzle under the fur, as they're both quite nervous cats and squirm and run away from me when I try to apply it. As a result most of it just ends up on their fur and they end up with a greasy mark that they spend the next 24 hours trying to lick off!
As a result I'm hoping to ask the vet for an oral form of flea prevention treatment, but was wondering - are these just as effective as the spot-ons? I know there's an injection as well, but our vets don't offer it as they say it's not as effective (although I'm sure I've read good things about it on here )
Thanks!
