I personally would not use a pet shop flea treatment, but would get the kitten frontline spray from the vets. In the past I have found pet shop treatments a waste of money.

trust me this flea treatment is the only one i would use - it certainly isnt a waste of money - have a look at the website i put the link on - ive used frontline and its not as good as 4fleas. my cousin bought a puppy last year from what sounds like a puppy farm it was riddled in fleas - she took it to the vets who gave her frontline - it didnt even clear half the fleas so i told her to get 4fleas and it cleared them all - she has also said she would never use frontline again - also my partner used to work in a pet shop and constantly had people coming in asking for something better because it (frontline) wouldnt clear all the fleas - we had had loads of recommendations before using it and as i said i would never use anything different now for my cats or dogs. im not saying frontline doesnt work for everyone im sure some people think its great but in my experience 4fleas is better.

Each to their own I suppose. If I had a problem now (which I don't as none go out) on adults, I would always go for Stronghold. More value for money as in addition to any fleas also kills certain worms and earmites. Think they might also do a kitten version but touch wood never needed it for littluns

after posting earlier i got to thinking and realised i have 4fleas for dogs but thankfully never had reason to use it, our dog has a johnsons garlic pill each day and i can say not a flea ever..I agrea that frontline is fantastic but i have only ever used for reptiles with mites.With kitten only being 6 weeks i was worried to use it so the 4fleas seems the way to go, being totaly safe at this age.I really dont want fleas in the house and the kitten will not be coming home until im sure they are gone.

You can use frontline spray safely for kittens from 2 days oldi wouldnt touch johnsons/shirleys etc with a extended barge pole either

I agree its up to the individual but over many years have found johnsons and like wise flea treatments and wormers from petshops a waste of time,I find using frontline on my cats and stronghold on my dogs,and indorex household flea spray keeps the little critters at bay

I wouldnt touch the pet shop flea stuff - waste of money - also wont he need worming too if hes riddles with fleas?
I would use what the vet gives you for both
Frontline and Stronghold - I have used both and both are very good.

Yes your right fleas transmit tapeworms,i have used frontline combo which treats house aswell as pet,after i had a bad ongoing problen thanks to a visiting flea farm!

i went to visit kittens again last night and the owner is going to treat for fleas and worms
