Bit of a sisterly love here

Took both Kizzy and Misty to the vets for first check up since we had them
Vet reckons frontline "no longer works" as been on market for a long time and sold us some other stuff, and a different de wormer
Misty apparently has a bit of gingivitis and tartar on teeth but otherwise they're both ok, vet said Misty was a bit overweight
Kizzy was meowling a bit but they were both very well behaved

I'm in two minds about front line / advantage / stronghold

I've dapped Casper with an "old" vial of Frontline - initially worked, you could tell his back / tail area was much improved - now about 2-3 weeks in, still better than before dapping . . . but, not 100% clear - Frontline is available on-line and without prescription

Which leads us to Advantage - again, available on-line, without prescription. Dapped both Clive AND FiFi a day or so after Casper - they're still fine not even a hint of bites on back / tail area - well worth getting as the price on-line is affordable and it works

This still leave us Stronghold - this is, at our vets, marketed at the "gold standard" for flea treatment. Of course it is, it's prescription only, so I can buy a prescription for £15 which will enable me to get 6 months supply on line. There will still be a sizeable saving and I've got a couple of vials for WHEN Casper and / or Clive come in with an inaccessible tick, the one time I've used Stronghold it made removing the tick straightforward

So, you pays yer money and you takes yer choice - mine would be for usual dapping I'd get the cats Advantage - just make sure you get the right strength as there are 2 - one for <4kg cats / rabbits and one for >4kg cats / rabbits - and yes, that is correct same one for cats and rabbits

Stronghold is brilliant. A few years ago, Vic was miserable with fleas and none of the OTC stuff worked at all but Stronghold turned him from a miserable recluse into a happy sociable fella almost overnight. Shame it costs an arm and a leg.

See how much a prescription costs from your vet then shop on line for it - a prescription should be valid for 6 months, so you can get a six months supply

Just checked you can get a pack of 6 for £22'odd + the cost of your prescription
