Re: War was declared on fleas today!


Frontline doesnt work that well on Guinness as he is too big for it. I use the spray but not the spot on. I think i might try the Capstar and then the frontline now.

I've heard the same thing, although I still use frontline regularly. I guess they will eventually build up a resistance though.

I am not sure how manufacturers monitor how effective their product is - and I suspect most of their feedback would be through recognised veterinary sources - so, if you find that Frontline Spot-On no longer works on your animals, you should let your vet know!

The fact that it does not work on larger cats I think is already known and they recommend using the spray instead.
