Question Correct Flea Treatment

Hi All,

My father, who is a pensioner, has 4 yr old British Shorthaired, medium sized black male cat.

Unfortunately, it had been quite a while since the cat had flea treatment. After combing the cat down over moistened white paper, after seeing red stains appearing I realised it had fleas.

The cat was bathed and then treated with Frontline Spot-On.

I hope you can clarify few things for me please:

1) We treated the cat with Frontline Spot-On and applying it on on the base of it's skull and few centimetres below with one pipette as instructed........is that sufficient until next month?

2) Generally, is this the best treatment or is there a more comprehensive form of treatment for the whole body with "pet friendly" products that are readily available?

3) If so, can you please mention some of these products?

4) Even after defleaing a cat, is it normal for them to scratch themselves without that necessary being an indicator that they have fleas?

Thank you!


Jay
