Frontline Combo

I would like to buy some Frontline Combo for my cat, as she is going mad with fleas.
In this country, this is only by prescription, and I refuse to pay outrageous vet's consultation fees, in order to obtain one.
Can anyone recommend an overseas suppliier ?

    Thanks for the reply.
    I would prefer the Combo because she's had the problem for a few months now.
    I've tried other products (not Frontline though) and they haven't worked.
    I want to use something that will definately work straight away.

    I don't know if the combo is quick to work but most flea treatments usually kill the eggs etc within 48 hours,are you applying every month to keep her 'topped up' so to speak lol. I have also used Effipro as it was cheaper then frontline and that worked fine.
    Ok writing post whilst morgan had replied...slow typer lol, good to know how effective the treatment is so thanks for that.

    I refuse to pay exorbitant vet fees when you can buy the treatment (rightfully) in other countries, such as France.
    I know my cat and I know what she needs.
    Advice on suppliers please !

    I just bought some from France.
    £29 for 6 months supply (includes postage).
    I doubt if any vet in this country could match those prices.

    Yes, I stocked up last time I was over there. Couldnt believe my eyes when I saw it there on the shelves. I bought so much they gave me a lovely zip-up pouch for free and I keep all my pet stuff in it now.

    No one seems to dispute what I have said on this thread.
    If anyone has flea problems with their pet, PM me and I will give you details as to where to obtain Fromtline Combo.

    I know you're desperate, but according to vetuk.co.uk website, it says that frontline combo is coming soon prescription free. I have no idea how "soon" is, you could try ringing them I suppose.
