What wormer do you recommend? I like to use a wormer that you put on their necks as they hate the tablets, it can be a nightmare!

Also what is that treatment that works on ear mites worms fleas and all sorts? I got some from my vet once and cost me the earth, lol
Is it stronghold?

Thanks
indoor cats can be wormed 3 times a year some even two depending on diet(raw) and if you have any other animals that would be in contact with them that do go outside. you could probably get away with just using the profender twice a year with indoors with no outside contact.

Profender is the spot on wormer and you would need to order it from the vets. just let them know the weight of your cats and they can give it to you with out bringing the cats in. be sure that you use this 3 to 5 days before or after any other spot on treatment as it can agitate the skin if used together at the same time.

Stronghold covers fleas and mites as well as some worms but not all, so you will need to still use the Profender.
Advocate also covers ear mites and fleas and some worms but also you will need to use it in conjunction with a wormer.
