Re: flea injection

I remember this injection being very popular when I lived in Portsmouth. I personally have never used it, I always use Frontline. But talking about new things. I was amazed when I asked for Drontal at the vets for Degas & Foxy. Instead they just squirted some liquid on the back of their necks and said all done!!!! I was amazed it was soo easy. But a word of warning for anyone who is going to shows. When Degas had it, it left like a greasy stain on his coat for around 3 days. It has disappeared, but I would have been really stuck if he had been entered in a show

Re: flea injection

Frontline is one of the most effective flea medication we've got and unfortunately one of the more expensive. The product has been around for a long time and we are starting to see some resistance, which is a concern and the reason we recommend using Frontline Plus rather than Frontline TopSpot. Frontline Plus contains (S)-methoprene, an ingredient that prevents reproduction by fleas that aren't killed by Frontline alone. Because Frontline depends on natural skin oils to spread itself around, it's best to wait about two days after bathing before applying the product and avoid bathing or swimming for a couple of days afterwards.

Re: flea injection

Hi

I had my last cat injected with program. It works by rendering the adult fleas infertile and is brilliant for preventing home infestations. However, it doesn't actually kill fleas so you may need to initially de-flea in a more traditional way.

Fleas live for about 2 weeks on average so once your cat/dog is injected, it will take a month or so for all the live fleas to die & any eggs already laid to hatch and die if you don't use any other methods. This is fine but remember that the flea has to bite your pet in order for Program to work. Once the cycle has been broken and all fleas are gone, it will be fine because even if your pet picks up a flea outside, as soon as it bites, it is infertile.

From memory, I think it cost around 40 quid for a 6 month injection.

Hope this helps.

Re: flea injection

About 12 years ago probably just before frontline came out I used to use the program liquid that you put in your pets food in my case cats. I also used flea collars from the vet but once frontline was available I didn't bother with the program

The injection has certainly been available my way for quite a few years I have to say
