Stronghold for Cats

[smurfchops]

Other than at the vet, where can I buy Stronghold (selamectin) for cats, and how do I know it is made by Pfizer ? Many thanks.

In the UK you cannot buy it other than at a vet as it is a POM (Prescription only medicine). You can get a prescription and then buy it from one of the online pharmacies - vetmedic, caninechemist etc. You could probably get it from abroad, but by the time you have paid postage you might as well go to the vet.

The vets cannot charge you for a prescription, or you can use frontline spot on, available without prescription.

I find my cat cannot stand the smell of Frontline and runs a mile. The Stronghold doesn't bother him at all. Are they exactly the same ?
