You can flea and worm over six weeks of age.

We have used Bob Martin for the fleas and Drontal for the worms.

Hurr1cane · 26/10/2014 16:16

Do not use bob Martin. One of my cats had a severe reaction to it and died. The vet said the reactions are quite common and they don't know why it's still allowed to be sold.

Go to the vets for flea stuff or buy advantage online

Photos when you've got him/her please!

What Hurr1cane said!

Don't go near Bob Martin and also my vet has said Frontline is proving pretty ineffective now too.

We use Stronghold.

Hurr1cane · 26/10/2014 18:17

Agree about frontline also. Vets stuff is best but advantage works well too. You can buy off amazon.

Many, many vets do the first flea and worm treatment free at a kitten check. You will know then that the product is not only effective, but also safe for the size and weight of the kitten.

Agree with everyone else re. Bob Martin's products being the Devil's Invention!

He'll need registering and a check-up at the vet anyway, so as Lone says, may as well get the flea/worm treatments then.

Take the kitten to the vet for flea and worm treatment and first vaccination.

chockbic · 27/10/2014 18:19

One of the vets here said that Bob Martin have changed their formula.
