De fleaing cats

[wiggal]

Hey guys!

Hope you are all doing good :-)

Right, we have 2 cats who we de flea every 3 months using frontline, last done in May. They are already scratching and we think they have fleas, we live on a farm and there Are foxes and rabbits and all sorts about. Could we frontline them again even though it hasnt been 3 months?
Obviously don't want the flat full of the evil critters but not sure if we can do it again before 3 months is up.

Thanks! :-)

wiggal change your flea treatment. Frontline doesn't work anymore as the fleas have become immune to it. Just Google the question and you will see. I had the same problem as you that's how I found out. Try Advantage, or Stronghold (cheaper than A). BTW I thought FL Spot-on was every 5 weeks - not that it matters cos it doesn't work. My vet has stopped stocking it.

My two cats have had a problem with fleas this year but I use Advocate once a month and sprinkle the dried herb Penny Royal everywhere one evening and vacuum it up the following day which seems to stop the problem. Penny Royal causes the fleas to abort their eggs which breaks their life cycle meaning no more fleas. Because of this you shouldn't use it around pregnant women or pregnant pets just in case.

I had this problem with frontline it just doesnt work anymore. i went to my local vet and got advocat, and its worked wonders, not a flea in site.
And its a de wormers and all sorts of other things

Thanks for the support Justjenni, I have been warning about Frontline Spoton for months. And I meant to say Advocate, not Advantage. It's very good.

Three months is too long. It only kills fleas for up to 4 or 5 weeks. I do my mum`s cat every month.
