| i would get a spot on capsule but not bob martin ones , the ones you get from vet or pets at home ( locked in cabinet )are good and dont forget to get a spray for your house , i highly recommend zodiax maxi

| Yeh I'd definitely get the household spray too - our dogs got them once and I had to do it cos they just wouldn't bugger off!
I use the double strength Bob Martin ones from Sainsburys - they work fine and my dogs are down the farm rummaging around rabbit holes every week and it keeps them flea free, although the ones from the vets work too its just a pain to get there for them! |

| I think frontline do a dual cat AND environment treatment (although that might just be in Cyprus... Ive not seen it back home before) but I agree with Mara don't put the bob martin spot on stuff on your cat it practically ate through my cats skin |

| just watch that the spot on is to kill and prevent fleas as we had one that was just to prevent (can't remember who by but from pets at home i think). if he is infested i would fog the house, use a tablet to kill the fleas (we had a very infested kitten once, within an hour of him having the tablet the fleas were all crawling off him half dead it was awful), then use a preventative spot on for both fleas and worms |

| Thanks for the advice ladies He doesn't have many have only seen 3 or 4 over the last few days but we gave him a tablet and we are giving him dewormer today. Was going to get that Bob whatshisface spot on but have read many bad reviews like what happened to Jade |

| i hate to sound like a complete nag but take it from someone who really does know our cat got fleas and everything i tried from suermarkets etc did not work my whole house ended up being invaded, we were all bitten i know you say only 3 or 4 but believe me that littles feckers can live in cracks in the floors ,between laminate and they lay eggs buy the truckload i was mortified and disgusted , I certainly would not skimp on costs in this situation nothing worse than seeing your kis scratch like buggery cos they got bit |
