Hello, I'm new here.

I've been working as a vet assistant for over 5 years plus I have 5 cats of my own. I use Frontline Plus on all the kitties and have never had a flea problem. Our hosp. used to carry Advantage but have switched over to Frontline Plus. It's a personal choice depending on your individual situation and your vets preferences. You need to treat all the pets in your house otherwise fleas will just hop over on the one that isn't treated.

As for tapeworms... A cat can only get tapeworms 2 ways, eating rodents or eating fleas. It takes about 3 months for signs of tapeworms to show up. At our hosp. we only treat the animals that show signs of tapeworm (small rice sized, white segments in stool or around rear end). We don't treat animals that don't show signs. At our hosp. if a person is a client that we've seen before, we will allow them to just pick up the meds. But that's just at our hosp.
