Question

Which works better for fleas on your cat...Advantage or Frontline...and where do you get it at the best price?

Answer 1

As I understand it, Advantage is primarily for Fleas, where as, Frontline is for both Fleas and Ticks.  Therefore, if your cat is an indoor/outdoor cat I would suggest Frontline, since it gives you greater coverage.

Price wise, I found http://www.shoppingdelights.com seems to have the best prices.  In addition they have a short article about Tick & Flea Facts that is interesting.

Answer 2

i used avantage and it worked

Answer 3

ADVANTAGE.....well that's what most 'VETS' use , I checked a few out for myself......I have a manx!!!

Answer 4

I like Frontline Plus. But honestly I think it's a geograghical matter, meaning that the fleas in areas oversaturated with Frontline use no longer respond to it. So I think you just have to try it and figure out what works.

You can buy Capstar and Frontline Plus here which will definitely kill all the fleas on your cat and prevent re-infestation.

Use the Capstar right away. It will kill all fleas on your cat with in an hour. It is imperative that you do not skip this. Frontline Plus is only effective if the flea bites the cat. Fleas have a 3 week lifespan and only feed for a few days of that three weeks, so you must use Capstar to kill all live fleas on your cat. After you capstar add on the Frontline Plus with in 12 hours and it will keep fleas off your cat for 30 days. No vet visit required and totally safe. Any eggs that hatch will be killed when they feed by the Frontline.
