Frontline Flea Treatment Can now Be Bought Without A Prescription

Great news frontline for dogs and cats can now be bought without a prescription so will be avilable most places soon. Still not the cheapest flea treatment but it works and is fantastic.

Search around on the net and local pet stores and see which ones are the cheapest. This could also mean now the price may drop a bit as competition picks up for those selling it.

No longer do the vets have the monopoly of charging extortionate rates for it :j

    can you tell me how you found this out, and whether it applies to the combo version?

    usually buy mine in France where it costs half as much in their high street vetinerary stores.

    I paid £9.99 for 3 cat frontlines. It is not the one that makes fleas sterile though www.vetuk.co.uk I saw it on here about 3 weeks ago. That included postage and they arrived within 3 days.

    Frontline became available without a prescription at the end of May. Try somewhere like https://www.bestpet.co.uk They do 6 x 0.5ml pipettes for cats for £16.70

    This only applies to Frontline as the combo contains an ingredient that requires a vet's prescription.
