Worm and flea tablets

[littlemissM92]

Hi decided to work and flea cat ourselves rather than vets stuff. Surely they all do same job but vets just want u to pay them instead of a shop? Does anyone use the bob Martin stuff this is what I think I'm going to use ? Thanks

watching with interest i was always told the stuff you can buy over the counter isnt as strong as the stuff from the vets, that's prescribed for your pet and is more effective

i suspect if your cat is an indoor cat the Bob Martin stuff would be fine if they're a free range cat with a penchant for mousing you'll need the hardcore stuff

I echo PPs. Your vet will weigh your cat and ensure the right dosage is prescribed and that the treatment is suitable bearing in mind any other medical conditions your cat may have.

Do not buy Bob Martin. You can't buy the right stuff in a supermarket.
Consult a vet.
You can get meds over the Internet but you need a prescription from your vet so won't necessarily save a whole load.
They don't all do the same job. Some will be ineffective and some may even harm your animal.
We use advocate and a spot on wormer. (Used to use drontal)

Agree with the Bob Martin stuff. Lots of chemists will sell the appropriate stuff.

Drontal and advantage where what my vet advised actually may go with them

Regards to his weight I weigh him at home on scales

We buy our flea treatment from the vet but bought wormer from pets at home. It's the one that the vet recommended (drontal I think it is) but it isn't one you just pick up off the shelf, they keep it in a locked cabinet. You don't need a prescription but you do have to give your details and the details of your cat to buy it.
I'd never use a Bob Martin product on my cat. I think scrimping on flea treatment is unwise unless you don't mind getting flea infestations. My mum used to buy the cheap Bob Martin stuff from Tesco for her indoor only cats. After an unholy flea infestation that took over 6 months and a lot of money to properly get rid of she now treats them regularly with prescription stuff even though they don't go out. I wouldn't risk it.

Just a word of warning - some cats react badly to spot-on treatments. Our cat foamed at the mouth and afterwards suffered with excessive thirst. When we asked our vet for advice, she said it's not uncommon. We use advantage tablets - pop them in his mouth and stroke chin until it's gone. he's a very chilled, easy to handle cat though ;)

I use advantage for flea treatment and panacur for wormer

He must be! I get vanishing cat/cat on ceiling if I try that method . Fortunately mine are fine with spot treatments. I'd like to try the injection, but not sure if my vet offers it.

Does your vets have a health pet club? That normally works out cheaper,

Is there an injection you can have for fleas or did I imagine that? Trying to get spot on on my think coated long haired fluff balls is quite a challenge!
