Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / November 2004Sergeant's 'Gold' : Okay for our cat?
PJ has been scratching lately, but I didn't know what brand of flea treatment to get him. On the grocery run to Wal-Mart today, I found they had 3 brands; Sergeant's regular and 'gold' varieties, Hartz (nightmare stories), and another ("Nexxum" or something, about $7.00 ). Is the Sergeant's Gold okay, or should I hunt around for Fronline or Advantage? Here's what Sergeant's has Etofenprox...........................55.00% Pyriproxyfen...........................2.20% INERT INGREDIENTS......42.80% Anything frightening there? I remember that it was pyrethrins that made Hartz so dangerous and that they refuse to recognize the problem. Any help you can offer, thanks alot JM -> PJ has been scratching lately, but I didn't know what brand of flea -> treatment to get him.

It's just a good idea not to use OTC flea treatments on your cat.

Thanks for responding, Sue. No OTC...hmmm. I'd like to find less expensive places for *good* flea control for PJ. Maybe the vet would write a prescription I could fill at petmeds.com (or something like that). JM Does anyone use Revolution? Pros? Cons? www.mimiforsyth.com >-> PJ has been scratching lately, but I didn't know what brand of flea >-> treatment to get him.

Or from eBay (much more cheaply than any vet), or at pretty much ANY online petcare drugstore...no rx required. The only thing I know of that currently requires a prescription is Revolution, and that's because of all the additional "miracle" stuff it cures. Online, you can get Frontline and Advantage for not a whole lot more than the dangerous grocery store crap. >It's just a good idea not to use OTC flea treatments on your >cat. -> On Tue, 02 Nov 2004 04:08:15 GMT, Suzie-Q <sme617x@earthlink.net> -> wrote: -> -> >In article <10od5g7a4f9pl39@corp.supernews.com>, -> > "DemoDisk" <packrat@nospam.com> wrote: -> > -> >-> PJ has been scratching lately, but I didn't know what brand of flea -> >-> treatment to get him.

They highly recommended Revolution over Frontline for *cats.* Just FYI.
