Which flea treatment do you use?

[missladybird]

Still seeing fleas after using frontline. Which would you recommend?

OTT not out. Bloody phone

Stronghold. Fleas are resistant to Frontline here.

Bikerunski broadline is only effective for four weeks I am afraid.

How odd. The dosage prescribed by our vet is for doses every 2 months. I’ll ask him about this next time we go in.

Advantage.
The only one that works

Sorry but this is bollocks. I’ve been using stronghold for about 4 years on different cats and it’s the best I’ve tried. Plus it gets rid of worms.

Oh, and if you do use Stronghold, buy it online as it’s much cheaper. You just need to get a prescription from the vet and upload it to the cheapest place you can find.

So is stronghold better than advocate? Do I really need to indorex as well?

I’ve never used advocate. Is it non-prescription? I’d say if so, then yes, Stronghold will definitely be better. I can’t see how non-prescription stuff can work, really. It’s like buying a pseudo medication from boots when you need something from the gp.

No the vet says it's what they will use once this shitty frontline has finished it's course. Should I try a different vet? I don't see how she can overdose on a different treatment if the frontline she had 2 weeks ago didn't work?

I know nothing about Advocate but would advise caution with the Indorex, especially if you’ve treated recently with Frontline, even if it didn’t work.

Bless ‘em, I do worry about the chemicals we subject our pets to.

Advocate is prescription only. Treats fleas and some worms.

Take care with indirect spray if you have fish. It's really dangerous for them. Cover the tank with a blanket and seal the door.

Indorex not indirect!

I don't have any other pets. Just concerned about the human children!
