Flea and worm treatments

[alessandrae83]

Which do you use? Is it good enough? What is a good price for getting them from the vet? Thanks

I get the wormer treatment from the vet. IIRC it is about £8 a dose, but was half this before the cat was too fat to take half a tablet. Flea treatment is quite expensive from our vet, I had been using Spot On from Amazon, but it stopped working, and I have recently bought a Seresto flea collar which is meant to work for about 8 month. The vets recomended it. From them it costs 70 quid odd. I ordered from the internet, and it came from a place in Portugal for about 30 quid. Go figure. You can get them at Pets At Home for about 50. Not sure how good it is, as I will use it when the current (vet) flea treatment expires in a couple of weeks. My concern is that the cat's current collar is quick release if she gets caught on something, and this one isn't.

Please do not buy from anywhere outside the UK, any online pet pharmacy should be UK based otherwise you have no guarantee that the product is real or safe.
Personally my favourite product is bravecto plus fleas, ticks and roundworms in a spot on once every 3 months. My cats do not catch anything so they get a tapeworm tablet once a year.

I use stronghold plus flea treatment monthly and then profender worm treatment every 6 months

I use Advantage and Drontal, bought online usually at VetUK. Advantage is the only non-prescription one that works.

On Lonecat's recommendation I use Bravecto Plus every 3 months and Profender every 12 months (he's not a hunter and the garden is catproofed)
