Can I ask about your brilliant flea treatment please?

Milbemax.

I use Profender for worms. It's a spot on vet treatment.

For fleas I'm using Stronghold, also a vet treatment.

I would recommend to anyone one that is using Frontline Combo from the vet to consider switching to something else.

I was using this religiously for years and then in October my cat got fleas and we had a house infestation.

It was awful, horrible, miserable. I spent weeks hoovering, spraying, moving all the furniture and doing laundry. I had to spray myself with mossie repellant as i was eaten alive; trousers tucked into socks, you get the picture.

Our vet said that lots of people were experiencing the same and they speculated that fleas were becoming resistant to it. Our vet no longer recommends Frontline Combo.

I'm considering switching up the flea treatments so say 3 months on Stronghold, then 3 months on Advantage and so on.

Also, there is an injection you can get from the vet that renders the fleas sterile. I think i may get this for our cat when he gets his annual jabs.

I think you'll need to get a prescription from your vet if you buy online.

You could use Broadline spot on fleas, ticks, round and tapeworms. I use it on my cats.

We use the Drontal ones. Going up to XL next time.

We use panacur liquid for worms. And on the advice of mumsnet, advantage flea treatment from Amazon. Works a treat.

Another Milbemax fan here as the pill is really small & most importantly thin.

Means it can be easily hidden in my fussy cat's food, just tried to get Drontal Pill from Vet down mrs fussy pants this week.

Broke pill in half, mixed in with favourite real tuna & cut up bits of stewing steak, came back to collect dirty bowl only to find all food gone & just the two pill halves left neatly in the middle of an otherwise shiny dish.

Quite skillful i thought :)
