    Ask if your vet does Advocate... they do a version for dogs as well.

    It's a combined flea and worming treatment that is just a pipette application as normal flea treatment. It's much easier than attempting to get worming tablets etc down your animals neck...

    It definitely costs me less than £10 for 3 pipettes- and it's at least £12 online.

    It's really good stuff! (My vets is Companion Care- within my local Pets at Home centre)

    Frontline is not very effective! Alot of people no longer use it on their pets. Try Advantage, Advocat or Stronghold - these are far more effective & faster acting.

    I've had no problems with Frontline yet and I have two JRTs and two Bengal Cats and I foster dogs as well. I wish Advocate was without prescription though because that has a wormer too and I have to practically crush the tablets up into powder to put in my Cats food.

    At a first appointment with a new vet, it was a big sell, he said frontline was useless and to use 'advocat' - which he tried to get me to buy - he said the mere fact that frontline was available pretty much everywhere now, spelt out its lack of effectiveness.

    I had been using Frontline for many years successfully for my 2 cats. Because 1 of them was very prone to flea irritation we had to give both cats Frontline every month and also fleas spray the house every 6 months instead of the normal yearly.

    To save money versus what the vet was charging I started buying it online.

    Then the vet started saying (like others have heard) that fleas are getting used to Frontline and we should switch to Advocate, but this was "prescription only" so we had to buy it from the vet (or alternatively get a chargeable prescription supplied by them to purchase online).

    I did wonder at the time whether this was a ploy by the vets to protect their revenues?

    However I found the price from my vet for Advocate was quite high compared to Frontline so I switched back to using Frontline with no problems.

    The vet then said that a good option would be to use Advocate in the Summer and Frontline on the Winter - using different chemicals would stop the fleas becoming used to each one. So now I buy 6 vials of Advocate from the vet each year (3 months X 2 cats) and 18 vials (9 months x 2 cats) of Frontline from the web (usually VetUK) and also use Droncat Cat (spot on wormer) twice a year.

    Doing so I am making 75% of the savings from Frontline vs. Advocate.

    Why do I still buy Advocate? Just in case the sensitive cat does get fleas again from only using Frontline.
