I have 5 cats and have found that Frontline is now non-effective, something that a lot of my friends are also finding as the fleas become resistant to it. I have been recommended to use Advocate, and have just done my first round and it is perfect. It is also a wormer, so two jobs in one! Furthermore, your vet should not charge yu for a prescription, so the cheapest online I have found so far is 365 vat at £21.39 for 6,

Just make sure that it covers of all types of worm - i know some spot on wormers dont.

Just a precaution xx

Hi
advocate is for both dogs and cats. it is alot better than frontline because it doesnt just treat for fleas.
advocate treats for fleas, worms, ring worm, lung worm, mites, ticks etc
i use it on my own cats and their fine on it althought they dont like it beginning put on at first but no cats like flea treatments lol
best of luck, Amy

Hi all,

Has anyone else ever ordered anything from the link above on the first few posts from the place called www.discountvetsupplies.co.uk

Chris

advocate is like frontline combo - treats fleas on your pet and the home (via treated hairs falling off the pet). but with added worm control - of all major internal worms - but not tapeworm. so if your cat is a hunter you still need a monthly tapeworm treatment.

i know you can buy it cheaper over the internet than from most vets but IMHO i would steer well clear of anyone offering to sell it to you without a vets prescription. these internet sites can be seriously dodgy and there have been several cases now of counterfeit drugs being passed off as the real thing. those who are willing to break the law and sell with no prescription are dodgy and i wonder what other medicines laws they are willing to break!!

get a prescription and buy from the internet with care or just show your vet the internet prices and see if they are willing to deal (our practice sometimes does). i would not risk putting something on my cat that i was not 100% sure was the correct drug and dose.

*steps down from soapbox*

hope that helps

I use Advocate too (as fleas are now immune to frontline!) and I get 3 pippettes for about £19. My vets is companion care in PAH. They are doing an offer at the moment where you get a free tapewormer every 6 months which is quite good. As someone said above Advocate doesn't cover tapeworms.

Dam i had allready ordered some from www.discountvetsupplies.co.uk and i am now concerned about it as it was the last of my money due to me being out of work at the minute.

They have taken the money off my card but it shows as exchange rate which i am also getting worried about now.

I tried to send them an email to customerservice@DiscountVetSupplies.co.uk but it bounced back saying it had failed to send but in the failed to send text it also had the address of customerservice@vetshoponline.co.uk

If i visit the vetshoponline.co.uk website this then forwards to vetshoponline.com which is a USA site then if you search google for vetshoponline.com i find alot of people saying they dont get there products or had to wait ages to get some. Sometimes 7 months and some ordered where shipped from Australia and other places.

I've been advised to use advocate rather than frontline on Tillie as she has a form of dermatitis. Apparently its a lot more friendly on their skin and less likely to cause irritation - obv depends on the cat but thought some of you may find that helpful if you've got any similar conditions.

New here, but I just phoned a vets local to me and I said that I had some spoton / frontline at home and it said for kittens/cats 12weeks or older, and he recommended that I buy Advocate cause it could be used on kitteks that are 9weeks or older...

I want to buy it online cause its cheaper but without seeing this actually writen on a packet that its for cats/kittens 9weeks or older, Im going to the vets to double check this.

Anyone with Advocate can you let me know if this is true, cause at the moment this is more important to me then any worming benifits the fleet treament could give me....
