I took my cats for their vaccinations and check ups last week. The vet searched through my white cats fur and produced a fair amount of flea dirt
I said that I didn't understand that as she'd been frontlined two weeks previously. He said that frontline was ineffective and that I should get a prescription treatment as frontline was sold anywhere these days. I said that the surgery had sold it to me in the first place - his response was that fleas had built up a resistance and that stronghold was the recommended one these days.
I then said that I'd been sold frontline for my dog about 4 weeks ago by them - he responded by saying that it was cat fleas that had built the resistance up!
Are they having a laugh? Do they just want me to get my flea treatment from them or is frontline now useless? I've checked Ben and there is flea dirt there + he gets ticks and they are usually still alive when I find them
I paid a small fortune for the frontline combo and can't retreat him for another month - I feel like taking the rest back and demanding a replacement pack of stronghold.
