Any cat lovers who might know where to buy this product that accepts paypal,i just got some more from our vet & i think there has to be somewhere on the net cheaper.:shrug:
 
How much do you pay ?
Might help to know, thankfully my daughter is a vet nurse so I get it at cost.
Don't forget it also prevents lung worm and new and nasty thing
 
Well i paid £7.00 for one,but when i read it the leaflet said up to 4kg cat,now my vet knows that my cat is heavier than that they have been treating him for 7 years,so i was not amused.

to buy it on the net last time i checked you have to have a prescription you can google it hope this helps. shell
 
Cheers for that.:thumbs:
 
You can't beat frontline, it kills everything dead (except your animal of course lol)
Harvest mites can be a pain in the summer if you live near fields and frontline seems to be the only one that works on those!
 
But is frontline worm & flea all in one & do you need a prescription?.:)
 
No, you can buy it over the counter in a vets, or on ebay even! And yes I think it does both. (You might want to check though)
 
Frontline does fleas and ticks Tori, not worms.
We've recently had a dog become very ill due to lungworm and advocate does prevent this, it's a nasty thing and can kill

IF you can buy it without prescription, it's not the best stuff! ;-)

Don't buy cheap stuff, you'll regret it!

And DON'T use Bob Martins! It WILL hurt your animals.
 
Frontline is far from cheap! I have cats so hopefully lungworm isn't an issue for my kitties. Each to their own :) as long as we're keeping them healthy.
 
We used to use advocate but our cats kept getting fleas so we switched to frontline and they have been clear since.
 
This thread reminds me that it's frontline time for the cat - better check we have plenty of elastoplast...
 
Thanks for all your replies guys,we have always got our stuff from our vet so i guess you just get what you pay for.
I might just stick to what we normaly buy from our vet as we have not had any problems with it.
I just thought i would do a search for any online cheaper options but would never put our beloved cat at risk,cheers.:):D:thumbs:

Yes Tori they can, do a google search for details, they get the worm from slugs and snails
 
I worm my cats, I've never been warned of lungworm or needing anything more than the frontline and worming tablets I give them? I think maybe the wormer I get must cover that too, but I'll certainly check, because my Thomas brings in snails all the time! Thanks :)

I always find that anaesthetising the cat with a shovel to the back of the head helps to prevent nasty scratches.

I'd rather use a blowpipe and dart - like we do when it's milking time...
 
This seems an apposite time to post this old one:

How To Give Your Cat A Pill

1. Pick up cat and cradle it in the crook of your left arm as if holding a baby. Position right forefinger and thumb on either side of cat's mouth and apply gentle pressure to cheeks while holding pill in right hand. As cat opens mouth pop pill into mouth. Allow cat to close mouth and swallow.

2. Retrieve pill from floor and cat from behind sofa. Cradle cat in left arm and repeat process.

3. Retrieve cat from bedroom and throw soggy pill away.

4. Take new pill from foil wrap, cradle cat in left arm holding rear paws tightly with left hand. Force jaws open and push pill to back of mouth with right forefinger. Hold mouth shut for a count of 10.

5. Retrieve pill from goldfish bowl and cat from top of wardrobe. Call spouse from garden.

6. Kneel on floor with cat wedged firmly between knees, hold front and rear paws. Ignore low growls emitted by cat. Get spouse to hold head firmly with one hand while forcing wooden ruler into mouth. Drop pill down ruler and rub cat's throat vigorously.

7. Retrieve cat from curtain rail, get another pill from foil wrap. Make note to buy new ruler and repair curtains. Carefully sweep shattered figurines and vases from hearth and set to one side for glueing later.

8. Wrap cat in large towel and get spouse to lie on cat with head just visible from below armpit. Put pill in end of drinking straw, force mouth open with pencil and blow down drinking straw.

9. Check label to make sure pill not harmful to humans, drink glass of water to take taste away. Apply Band Aid to spouse's forearm and remove blood from carpet with cold water and soap.

10. Retrieve cat from neighbour's shed. Get another pill. Place cat in cupboard and close door onto neck to leave head showing. Force mouth open with dessert spoon. Flick pill down throat with elastic band.

11. Fetch screwdriver from garage and put cupboard door back on hinges. Apply cold compress to cheek and check records for date of last tetanus jab. Throw away T-shirt and fetch new one from bedroom.

12. Ring Fire Brigade to retrieve cat from tree across road. Apologise to neighbour who crashed into fence while swerving to miss cat. Take last pill from foil wrap.

13. Tie cat's front paws to rear paws with garden twine and bind tightly to leg of dining table. Find heavy duty pruning gloves from shed. Push pill into mouth followed by large piece of fillet steak. Hold head vertically and pour 2 pints of water down throat to wash pill down.

14. Get spouse to drive you to Casualty, sit quietly while doctor stitches finger and forearm and removes remnants of pill from right eye. Call furniture shop on way home to order new table.

15. Call RSPCA to collect cat and ring pet shop to see if they have any hamsters.
 
Pills get administered by the vet!
We now do the worm treatmant via a drop on the scruff of the neck, like frontline - very quick and easy. Parents used to have a dog that was the easiest ever to get a pill down - lob a couple of good boy choccy drops at him to catch, followed by the pill and that was it - job done.
 
Well, it was only a couple of worm pills per year and one of those got lobbed down her throat at flu-jab time, so not a masive expense (and cheaper than the shots and plasters for me!)
 
Cheers Marc,will have a look at that.:):thumbs:
 
Looks a good site,what do you think of this.

WQe get our Frontline from Sainsbury's - still have to get the worm drops from the vet's - or pay for a script.
 
I just ordered the electronic flea comb which kills fleas as you comb the cat & worm tablets no problem,no script.:):thumbs:

I have had this now for a few days,it takes 2 AA batteries,what you do is pressing the button comb your pet as normal.
When it comes into contact with anything like fleas,eggs or that nature it basicly electricutes them.
It does not hurt the cat or frighten it & so far it seems worth the money,sometimes before i started using this our cat as probably others do as well & that is he sometimes jumps around having a bite at his back end.
Since i have been using this he has never done that so far,so looking good.:):D:thumbs:
 
Hi James ,
I hope your vet is not selling you advocate on the basis of the lungworm scare as that is in dogs only .
We use frontline in the cats for tick / flea and then worm with drontal or profender for those impossible to tablet . :thumbs:
David
 
We got the drontal worm tablets online,but the above electronic flea killer is brilliant.:):thumbs:
