Hey everyone. I am wanting to get my cat on a flea preventative but I can't afford Frontline Plus. Is their a less expensive but good alternative to it? I would prefer something that kills adult fleas, flea eggs, and flea larvae.
I'm sure she would take care of her cat in case of accident or illness, I think she was simply asking for a cheaper alternative because Frontline Plus is indeed expensive. :nod: It is a good product and worth the price, but if there was a cheaper alternative, it would make much more sense for her to save the money. I'm fairly sure her kitty is spayed, there is no indication in her post that she isn't. It's much more efficient to save on smaller things like this so there's money in the bank SHOULD a cat become injured or ill.What really bothers me is that if an effective flea treatment is straining you financially, what will the situation be if your cat has an accident or gets ill? I do hope she is neutered. If she isn't, sure as eggs are eggs she is or will be pregnant, and raising kittens is expensive - you use mountains of cat litter and huge amounts of food.
It really depends on where you live. We've had dogs and indoor/outdoor cats while living here for the past 30 years and have never treated for fleas. We currently have an indoor cat and an indoor/outdoor cat, and don't treat. Our neighbor takes her dog for walks in the fields and woods every day and also doesn't use flea treatments. Some years there are ticks, though.KEEP YOUR CATS ON FLEA TREATMENT. Even if they are indoors only, you can track in fleas or so can other animals and then it becomes a major problem!! Yeah, you're putting chemicals on your cat, but it's better than having your house and cats infested with MILLIONS of disgusting blood sucking, disease giving little insects for the rest of your life.
