Hello all,

Just a quick question about flea treatments: Where is the cheapest to order/buy, and what brand(s) do you recommend?

I have a 8 pound, 17 month old cat, who I keep indoors, however I take her out for walks on her harness. I want to protect her against fleas and ticks as it is Spring! I have heard that Advantage is a top brand, but was wondering what people here used, and where they buy it?

Thanks in advance :)

Do NOT buy anything over the counter.  Talk to your vet and get his/her recommendation.

i've had luck with revolution in the past, but each cat is different.  it's a good idea to see what your vet recommends.  you'll probably pay a lot more purchasing directly from your vet than you would getting a prescription and purchasing online, but it may be more convenient.

please be sure not to use anything from hartz.

Thanks for the replies :)

I would never use anything by hartz or over the counter treatments. I'll consult my vet :)

I would call your vet , see what they recommend, and then buy it online, it's at least half the price. The only thing cheap I can get at the vets is OTC antibiotic for my feral.Good luck!
