I've had a different experience with Johnson 4flea tablets for puppies aged from 4 weeks, didn't do a thing, I was advised by the vet to use Frontline. Frontline doesn't kill the fleas it brakes the cycle. That was three years ago mind you but I wouldn't go back to off the shelf stuff.

Pets at Home do sell prescription flea and worming treatments but you have to weigh your pet. They will weigh your pet if you take it in. Personally I would prefer to take them to the vets they get a check-up at the same time so its worth it to me.
