Any stuff you can get from your vets. The stuff you can buy at the pet shop doesn't work very well, it isn't stong enough.

Frontline the spray is best or the spot on works too but with the spray you can do the house too look on ebay or on line 1st for cheaper price as when i went to vets it would have cost for vet to see my dog then for the stuff too! i managed to get it for a 3rd of the price it should of cost.

depends whether u wanna get rid of them off your cat or from your carpets bedding etc.last time i bought some for my house feom my local vets it was around �15 which was quite expensive but the can was huge and did all the carpets 2 double beds and 2 sofas and chairs.the cheap stuff from pet shops doesnt do the trick in my opinion.if you wanna get them off your cat try something like frontline available from your vets.hope this helps

Nothing from a supermarket or pet shop as it will be a waste of your money. Get a good one from your vet.

I learned that the hard way!

Frontline spray works best, but the spot on is effective, and cheaper online.

i tend to buy both frontline and spot on from asda and alternate the two - cheap one month, expensive the next! it just spreads the cost a bit more. if i notice the critters scratching a bit more tho (i.e. summer or when the central heating is raging) i will use the frontline more. find out what works for you - and you can get stuff cheap online from bestpet.co.uk or .com (can't remember which) that is the same as from a vet but much cheaper

I use Frontline for cats (drops on the back of the neck) every 5 weeks for my two gorgeous girls and also have a can of Skoosh for carpets, soft furnishings etc (but I've never had to use it because the Frontline works so well).

The best prices I found were from petvetcare.co.uk (6 months supply of Frontline for one cat for �15.46) - most places charge about this for just 3 months supply! Here's the link - http://www.petvetcare.co.uk/acatalog/copy_of_c opy_of_copy_of_Frontline_For_Cats.html

Acclaim spray for soft furnishings works very well and lasts for 12 months - costs �12.15 for a large can. Skoosh is a bit dearer (�14.59) but works on fleas, eggs, larvae and pupae.

I would agree with jugglering. Frontline spot on for the cats and skoosh for the house. I get my frontline and my drontal wormer) from www.petmeds.co.uk. Free p&p. items have always arrived within 3 days. Jugglerings site looks cheaper though so i may try there next time (although once you have used petmeds, they tend to email you a newsletter once a month which contains a discount code, so my last set of frontline (6 pack) cost �15.80.)
