Flea treatment

6 replies

NC4Now · 18/08/2018 12:36

My boy is scratching like mad, and we’ve all got bites.
I did him last month with Frontline and again two days ago.
He’s still scratching.
Any suggestions?

Get something from the vet that is prescription only , OTC flea treatments are generally a waste of money now as the fleas are immune to them .

Frontline is crap.
Ask your vet to sign a prescription (£8 at our vet) and get something decent online.
Cost us £100 online after vet quoted £300!!
4 ddogs and 2 dcats!!
For now fill LOTS of shallow dishes with hot Fairy water - we caught soooooo many with these!!

Vet for a treatment for the cat (advocate/stronghold plus). Indorex spray for the house

Advocate is supposed to be better than frontline.

It's said that the ingredient in Frontline is not as effective anymore.
Pets at home and online websites sell Advantage. Much cheaper than the vets and works the same - (same active ingredient as Advocate)

Ok thanks - I might pop into PAH today, rather than waiting for the vets tomorrow.
