    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.

    Mine (or rather my kitten's vet) will - free flea check plus general health check once a month, £25.94 for 6mths supply of frontline.
    And no appointment required.

    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 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 !

    And meanwhile your poor cat is made to suffer being bitten by fleas because you were too mean to get her sorted out straight away.
    How cruel are you? :mad:

    personally I would put my pets welfare first rather than my pocket.

    As for 'i know my cat and know what she needs'...are you a vet and able to tell if she is ok for the treatment etc?I'd assume the answer to that is no!

    If someone continually stole money from your back-pocket, would you let them continue doing so ?
    I thought not !

    I'm sure that is for normal Frontline and not Frontline Combo.

    I like to know the what and wheres of any drug/ flea treatment I put into/onto my dog. IF that means giving my Vet a bit extra rather than lining someones pockets then so be it. Why would I want to risk lining someone elses pocket with drugs that might be fake? Therefor harming my dog? Erm I think not.

    So in answer to your question you thought wrongly.

    My dog gives me his best so I return the favour and do whats best for him, and in my opinion thats using stuff checked by DEFRA and recomended by my Vet. If that costs me a few pennies more then so be it.

    Doesn't your cat have regular checkups @ the vet then? I don't mean to pry but vets are well within their rights not to sell direct to you without sight of the cat.

    Well, I have heard that certain probucts that are prescription only (and non-prescription in other countries) are likely to be sold 'over-the counter' soon in the UK.
    So that puts your argument to bed.
