What proactive flea treatment do you good people use for your cats?. I have always used Frontline, not cheap but never had any flea problems with Pogull. I see there are several alternatives some of which are less expensive but don't know if they are any good.

For the sake of a couple of quid I don't want a flea bitten puss or worse still lots of fleas in the house but if there is something that is equally as good and cheaper then the money I save I can spend on Zebedees (mice) as Pogull has taken to destroying them at the rate of 2-3 a week!.

We used Bob Martin spot on flee treatment on our cat for the first 4/5 months and didn't really have any problems but decided to get Frontline. Costco sells Frontline for around £30 for a pack of six much cheaper then anywhere else.

Thanks it's £18 for six Frontline from Petmeds at the moment (until midnight Wed) 10% off code is FIXED10. I was advised by the vet not to use the Bob Martin treatment as it was not very good.

Yeah although we never had any problems with Bob Martin we decided to move to Frontline because of vets recommendation even still the vet insisted that Frontline wasn't good and tried to prescribe some POM flea medication.

Sorry I meant £20 oh and thanks for the code smile

I understand you can only get the combo version of frontline from the vet.
