Mortified...Miles and Koji have fleas :(

Even though I am barely seeing one flea a day, it's so disappointing when I'm about to finish flea combing the cats for the day, finding nothing then at the minute one scuttles across the fur (seem to be catching them in my fingers after disturbing them through combing, they just don't die do they! Squashing doesnt work, have to literally rip them in half to kill them otherwise they leap away!)

We used to dump them in a glass of water, there is some satisfaction watching them drown

After 3 failed cycles of Frontline and de-fleaing the house I finally managed to persuade my vet to give me some Advocat. Put it on the kittens this morning and by the comb through this evening there is nothing but dead fleas!!

Would totally advise Advocat in the future. I'm finally free of the evil fleas!! Hurrah!

If you can get your vet to write a prescription you can buy it for £16 from Online Pet Supplies UK, Pet Medications, Pet Supplements, Pet Shampoo - much cheaper than the vet will charge.

I can't remember how much they charge for a prescription?? Was £20 from vet. Still cheaper than 3 cycles of frontline!! Thanks for the advise.
