Because fleas are so problematic, flea prevention is essential! Commonly prescribed preventives include oral and topical medications—although injectable flea prevention is available, as well.

Thanks for using Boop by Petco! In my opinion, the best two flea and tick preventative medications are Bravecto and Frontline plus. Any of those would be good options for him. Good luck and have a good night!

Lice are not terribly common in cats. I don't really feel like Frontline or fipronil products work very well anymore. I prefer products like Revolution or Bravecto. Seresto collars also offer great protection.

I'm sorry to hear that you're having this problem! Fleas can be very frustrating to get rid of in some cases. I will tell you that in my experience, Frontline Plus is not effective at all anymore for fleas - I regularly see pets who are using this product and still covered in fleas. Advantage II is the most effective over-the-counter topical flea product for cats. Stronghold or Advocate, which are prescription flea meds you can get from your vet, would be even better. Once you get the cats on a good quality flea control medication, it should be much easier to eliminate them from the environment.

I like advantage better than Frontline. That said, some veterinary office will sell flea products one unit (one month) at a time. They only require a physical exam once a year most likely, so they can establish a patient client relationship. I really like revolution or Comfortis for flea medicine but if you have to pick between advantage and frontline I prefer advantage. You could also alternate advantage one month, frontline one month then go back to advantage. Thank you for using Boop by Petco.

Hello, & thank you for using Boop by Petco. I would wait at least another 2 weeks before using another topical. In the meantime, you can definitely use one of the oral cat flea products. You can purchase Capstar in most bigger pet stores. It only lasts 24 hours, but you can administer it several times a week until you can use another topical ( I recommend either Frontline Gold, or Bravecto for cats ). Or you can purchase Comfortis from your veterinarian. With this, 1 pill will last 30 days. I like Revolution, more because it gets heartworms plus hookworms & roundworms, but it is a topical, too. So use an oral tablet for now. They work great. Take care.
