Anyone Recommend A Flea and Worm Treatment ?

8 replies

We have two cats and have a vet plan at Vets 4 Pets. We have flea treatments ( Advocate) which we give monthly to our cats and worming treatments ( every 3 months). The flea treatment is in pipette form.

However , the worm treatment is tablet form and it’s impossible to give to our cats! We tried forcing it down them, even though it’s half a tablet. We even tried crushing the tablet and mixing it in their food- they know it’s there and won’t eat it !

So we need a worming treatment in a pipette form. Does anyone know or can recommend a combined flea and worm treatment, so a treatment in one pipette form ideally?

Dont think it’s really worth paying £25 per month for our two cats when they won’t take the treatment.

I’ve seen one online called Stronghold? Anyone used it or know anything about it ? A vet’s prescription is needed though.

Is Bravecto Plus sold in the UK? It's a combination treatment in a pipette, given every three months. No prescription needed, at least not in Australia.

Thanks. Anyone else recommend anything?

Dronspot pipette.
Profender pipette (vet prescribed).
Just wormers not fleas

Ah ok, hoping to find one treatment ideally

I just saw that Bravecto Spot-On is available in the UK, but needs a prescription. Damn!

It's the tapeworm bit that's the tablet. There aren't any single application things that cover tapeworm as well.
There are spot ons dronspot or profender that you can add to your regime once every three months instead of the tablet.
If you ask your vet they might well swop product within your plan package .

I used to get flea & worm treatment from the vet's, and yes Bravecto is prescription only.

It was not cheap so I buy it myself now, I use Frontline Spot On for Fleas monthly and Panacur once every 3 months. A fraction of the price and (touch wood) no infestations yet for the couple of years I've been using them.
