Re: Flea treatments


I used Advantage on my cats when they went outdoors and brought in fleas...my present girl is indoors only so not using anything; but the Advantage worked very well.

Re: Flea treatments


I have used the Johnsons 4fleas on mine and it was great to watch the little 'suckers' fall off them dead, but as mine are indoor only and the whole house was treated at the same time they suited me. Teddie gets Advocate at the moment for her worm and ear mite treatment as well.

Re: Flea treatments


I have used frontline on my 2 cats before, but on 2 occasions they still had fleas. I find that stronghold works much better for some reason and it also treats for worms and ear mites too.
