    Hi my poor cat is having a nightmare with fleas. I have 2 cats and I started a new subscription and was putting the flea stuff on monthly but it didn’t work for him and he got covered bless him. I got some advantage and put it on last Saturday. Although he seems to be scratching less I’m sure...

    Hi everyone, just after some advice! I noticed fleas on our two kittens 2 months ago and since then I have had the hardest time getting rid of them. I have spent over £100 on products for the cats and the house and they still keep appearing. The cats are currently kept in one empty room (been...

    Hello, can anyone recommend a safe flea treatment that's not advocate (doesn't work anymore)? The vets suggesting Nexgard, although the side effects seem pretty bad on researching it. This season seems to be particularly bad for it and I'm at a loss of what to do. I've also tried a lot of the...

    Hi guys, I have a question regarding which flea treatment to use. My cat has fleas and I treated her with regular Advantage anti flea treatments, however the fleas keep coming back. I brush her for fleas regularly and keep my house clean for fleas but she is an outdoors cat so I suppose it is...

    I was just done bathing my Pygmy hedgehog and a little black insect fell off his belly and before I could get a good look at it it jumped and vanished :/ I checked his belly and couldn’t find any more and I gently searched his quills and couldn’t see any others, could it have just come from the...

    My two indoor cats (6 months old) started showing symptoms of fleas approx 8 weeks ago now following a visit to a friend with cats. Seems they had been untreated and we have accidentally brought them home to our boys - although they had been treated seemed this was inaffective. I treated them...

    As the title suggests, my cat (her name is Pumpkin) is about 8 weeks pregnant. We didn't want her to get pregnant, but we'll enjoy every little kitten she has. Anyway, a few days ago we went to PetSmart and got Frontline Plus for cats, and we applied it as per the instructions. It's been a few...

    I bought my first kitten a month ago. I paid good money for her and was told she was active and in great health with no fleas or worms etc. A few days being in my home she was lethargic and barely ate. I saw a few fleas crawling in her fur and immediately booked a vet appointment the next day...

    We have a gorgeous 4.5 month old Calico kitten, but sadly when we brought her home at 9 weeks she had fleas . As soon as we found flea dirt she saw the vet and we treated her effectively, but we only noticed after a couple of weeks of her being home (she was very nervous for the first few weeks...

    Hi everyone. My cats had their booster injections today, and now I’ve just realised their wormer is due imminently, and flea treatment due mid-next week. Both are spot on (Dronspot and Advantage), their booster was Virbac Feligen RCP. Does anyone know how long I should wait before giving them...

    Hello, I have 2 indoor Maine Coon kittens Thor and Loki and they are 6 months old. Last month we asked another cat owner to look after them for the night and after about a week or so realised that they were absolutely crawling with fleas! We immediately went out and bought them Advantage and...

    Hi Guys, About 4 or 5 days ago I noticed some fleas on my cat (norwegian forest cat - so long-ish? coat, 5kg) and immediately got to investigating and treating it. Over the course of an hour I probably found about 10 fleas on him whilst brushing him with a comb so I gave him the spot on...

    Our cat brought fleas back from the vet and we’re still not rid of them! We tried a spot on but it hasn’t worked and I know we can’t try again too soon to avoid overdosing. Tried hoovering and spraying the house. Agghh! I despair! I don’t know what to do now, any ideas please?

    My cat has really bad fleas and I combed him with a flea comb a few hours after applying frontline because I couldn’t stand seeing the fleas crawling all over his face. :( I avoided the area where I applied the frontline but I got the rest of his fur wet because I was dipping the comb in soapy...

    Hi.. I have a 2 year old housecat. She hasn't had fleas since she was a kitten and we were able to get rid of them pretty quickly.. But she now has them again, most likely brought in from the outside by one of us somehow.. Anyway, she's been given flea treatment and the whole flat has been...

    Hi all, I rescued a kitten last friday (7/2). We suspect he has been on the street for approximately 2 weeks. On the Sunday (9/2) I noticed a flea crawling through his fur. With it being a sunday, I only had access to Amazon Prime so I purchased Frontline Spot On for Cats and applied the same...

    My cat has fleas and I've started treating her yesterday. I used a spot on from the supermarket and put it on the back of her neck as advised. Today I have come home and noticed she has a patch of hair missing in that area and scratches underneath. She doesn't seem distressed and she isnt...

    Can anyone recommend effective flea treatment brands for cats and dogs? I volunteer at a rescue in Greece and I need treatments that aren’t too expensive and are somewhat easy to administer. So for cats it would need to be spot-on and for dogs it can be tablets or spot-on or a collar. There are...

    When I visited a dog and cat rescue centre in Greece, I could see that a lot of the animals had worms - multiple different types of worms which I could see. I’m not sure of the exact types, I suspect roundworm and tapeworm are the main ones I saw, but there may also be hookworm and whipworm, I...
