Get Stronghold from the vet. Only thing that worked on our former fleabag cat, and whenever we've tried moving away from it with subsequent cats we've had fleas again

im annoyed at my vet, she said this collar would give me great results! as would the rest of the crap ive bought from them. if i go back in there right now the stronghold will be shoved somewhere painful. Grin

cat is a flea magnet. ive had him a year in dec and all ive done is pay out for if flea treatment (oh and ball removal Wink )

somethings got to work!

There is a pill you can get that kills them, almost instantly. Hmmm saw it in a show based in nz I wonder if you can get it over here.

is it vet prescribed or shop bought?

i'll look into it.

It maybe that you have a flea burden in your garden such as a hedgehog. No product in the market continually kills fleas instantly seresto and advocate are the best killing in 2 hours.
The tablets (can't remember their name) kill fleas at that moment in time, but has no ongoing effect.

he's not allowed out back garden as it communal so goes out front and where ever else, i know theres foxes in the area so could be culprit.

so if he does get fleas the soresto kills them? i thought it repels them all together?

need to do more research i think. thanks

Seresto kills fleas and repels and kills ticks.
