Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / August 2006Frontline or Advantix?
Do I have the names right? I'm pretty sure that Rita has fleas. She won't let me blow on her to find out for sure, but I've seen the occassional flea jumping around the apartment, AND it's summer. Even as an indoor cat, that usually adds up to a flea-ridden cat. (she's been scratching and biting herself more than usual, too). I have used that back-of-the-neck flea stuff successfully before, so I can order directly from 1-800-Pet-Meds, but which one is my best bet? Any opinions or suggestions?

Advantage. You may need to spray the apartment to kill any fleas in the carpet and any eggs. Repeat in two weeks.

Any particular brand of flea spray that works better? Pet meds has Zodiac. And Advantage is on sale, too. Cool.

A few people have mentioned some problems with Frontline so maybe it would be best to stick with Advantage.

Subsequently, I end up carrying them inside. Advantage is the best for cats. It works within 24 hours. kili > Do I have the names right? No you don't. Do not use AdvanTIX on cats. It can be deadly. Use AdvantAGE for cats. > Do I have the names right? > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > Jane I've used Frontline for years, with no problems at all. Once the vet was out of Frontline so I took Advantage. I believe it is cheaper, but I didn't see any other difference. Joy >> Do I have the names right? >> [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] >out of Frontline so I took Advantage. I believe it is cheaper, but I didn't >see any other difference. Some people say it's gentler on the cat, but Frontline also works on ticks - I have deer, possums, racoons, skunks, who knows what else, and many cats that spend a lot of time in the weeds, so I have a tick problem and therefore Advantage isn't really an option.

I don't know if you can get "Stronghold" in the US. It's a spot on that kills fleas, worms and earmites all in one go. I use it for my two, I have to buy it from the vet and it is quite expensive, but worth it as I can't imagine what it would be like to pill either of mine for worms. Kitty would slash me to pieces and Boyfriend would faint and never trust me again. Tweed I always thought Revolution was the best because it also prevents against all sorts of other nasties, ticks, heartworm, etc. SignatureBritta Purring is an automatic safety valve device for dealing with happiness overflow.

We use Revolution because of the variety of protections it gives. Before, we used Advantage and Heartguard. The cats did not like Heartguard, and it was a hassle getting them to eat it. Now , we just put the Revolution drops on them once a month. However, I don't think it protects against ticks. Annie > However, I don't think it protects against ticks. We use Revolution as well (even though the cats *hate* it). The dog formula says it prevents infestations of dog tick (Dermacentor variabilis) and it's the exact same compound as the formula for cats. SignatureVictor M.

When I had dogs, though, and used Frontline, it wasn't much help with ticks, either, although the company claims it works. kili |
