I use stronghold on my dog and cats, my vet reckons it's the best as it sorts out all the usual things e.g fleas. ticks, earmites but it also sorts out roundworm which is really dangerous if humans, especially children catch it.

Its one of those situations that has its 'fors' & 'againsts' - I have personally used both on my pets - there are many quality suppliers who sell discount pet meds

frontline has been made slightly weaker for general sale, and as combo is more expensive vet practices know that owners would go for the cheaper version.

so we spent a fortune on frontline combi, 'because it stops the life cycle of the flea', but 12 days later my cats have them again!!!!!

i know living next to fields they bring presents back every day for me, but I would expect the new super duper frontline to work.

so its back to the drawing board for my 3.

and I am getting tired of having to treat the house aswell!!!

Has anyone got any suggestions on natural flea repellant that can be used on cats, I don't mind treating them weekly if it gives results......

I have had similar problems,i bought some frontline combo for my adult cats and frontline spray for the kittens,didnt seem to work for long(brothers dog came round)fleabag,always picking up fleas from fields hedghogs and other wildlife.Also on the application site of the combo,cats were very itchy,went bald and sore and my white cats fur is growing back black!!
