I know this has been done to Death but i havent a clue ..

I need pet insurance for my 4 cats & I haven't a clue where to go for it or what to consider etc as I am a rarely new pet owner.
Ideally I would like the insurance to include Flea Treatment as I know this is possible with some .

I was told today by the pdsa that flea treatment for 3 tiny kittens would be £75 so im going to be registering with my local vet as soon as I have insurance

Any help/pointers would be hugely appreciated

Also while im waiting to register with my local vet what flea treatment can I use that will work & won't cost a couple of arms n a leg as im told frontline no longer works

*Farely not Rarely

Flea treatment £75! What are they talking about?? I'm really not sure about flea treatment for kittens. On little kittens we used to use Frontline spray, but i'm not sure what we do now (I don't really deal with kittens much). Hopefully someone else can advise.

Advocates not expensive if you buy it over the Internet, or you can have flea protection injections.

Lonecat was talking about a flea collar the other night, just avoid bob Martin stuff, it's awful stuff.

Some vets do a monthly scheme where you get flea treatments.

Frontline does work, but in some areas of the country it doesn't work as well. There are different strengths available and the stronger ones only through the vet.

I prefer the pipette ones that go on the skin at the neck. You have to be careful with kittens about the doseage.
I tried the sprays but my cats groomed themselves and they ended up foaming at the mouth, crying loudly, and a trip to the emergency vets. Luckily they hadn't ingested much.

thecatneuterer That's exactly what I thought & also the kittens are a month to young to be flead yet I was told when I rang up to get a check up for my cat they told me to bring her kittens as well [confused{ needless to say it was a waste of my time & I won't be going their again !

Fluffy & Delia So the frontline does work as long as I live in the right area how on earth do I work that out ?

I have found Advocatd on a pet chemist website & its reasonably priced to so I will give that a try

I don't think any insurance policy would cover flea treatment, it's an ongoing and predictable expense. Whereas vets monthly payment plans might. Frontline for 3 cats is available online for about £12.50.

Before applying spot ons check they are suitable for kittens the age your are. In young kittens frontline spray is the only safe product.
I have never come across an insurance that covers flea treatment and I wonder if you are thinking of health plans that you spread the cost of vaccinations, flea and worm treatments over the whole year.

My vet once gave me frontline for kittens. But ive never seen it since. I definitely wasn't imagining it but not seen it anywhere!

I alternate advocate and frontline. I go to the cheap vets for this and the nicer one for anything complex.

It nay be a health plan im thinking of
The flea treatment is suitable from 8 weeks so i will wait until then to get them done
