Both our dogs hated Frontline and would cringe at the sight of the packet so we switched to a garlic spray. Worked well and they rarely had fleas. We bought it in a pet shop in Walworth Rd, now long gone. I think you can make your own and use a small gaden spray.

Please recommend what has worked well for your dogs and cats.

We’ve tried Frontline and Advantage and don’t find that they work.

We also use a spray in the house and clean frequently.

 

Dreading this year if we can’t find a solution

For dogs, try the spray that Waggy Wagon, a local groomer, sells.  I don’t know know if it’s suitable for cats as some essential oils are poisonous to cats.  Cat fleas are an absolute nightmare. 

We've started using diatomaceous earth (food grade) for cat fleas. There are a few videos online on how to do this. We made a little face covering for our cats, so they didn't inhale too much.

It's too early to know if it's been a success but we wanted an alternative to the Advantage/Frontline because of the problems associated with it as a pollutant.

One cat didn't mind the application, the other was a bit resistant but it wasn't too hard to get it on.

There is also a tick spray made by Chambers and Co.  It contains rose geranium oil and sulphur.  It’s available on eBay.  Price is £10.  Tick season is upon us.

The frontline Plus stops the eggs hatching in your home, not sure if that was the one you tried, as there is a basic frontline.   I only found it the best for my cat.  Others didn't work.

    • No, signs of sense and scrutiny of "leaders" not knowing the impact of what they have done, so much so that every citizen in the UK will suffer financially as a result of an incompetent, incoherent, unhinged Govt that's impact is effecting every citizen in the UK. Where things were being turned around by the last lot, this lot has already compromised all that work in its first 120 days in power. You may not like it but that's the truth.  We are never going to agree and actually Reeves, Rayner and Starmer need to go, like yesterday. 
    • Worse than gb news   Signs of unhinged minds 
    • This is why you are not the chancellor! Rachel Reeves won't be going anywhere until either she fixes things or Starmer needs someone to blame!
    • I fully agree. I hope you had some khinkali (Georgian dumplings), they're fantastic! They used to have only meat ones but now they also have mushroom ones and they're great. I always try to fit in a honey cake at dessert. Overall I appreciate that their food and menu seems to only improve with time.
