Even before you suspect your cat or dog has picked up a flea, you should act proactively and start a flea protection program. In the case flea prevention and flea control, taking action before your pet becomes infected is always best.

There are a number of propitiatory flea treatment brands on the market, but I like to follow my veterinarian’s choice and he uses Frontline Flea Treatment. A couple of years ago we had a tiny, abandoned kitten turn up in our front yard. Her tail had been torn almost clean off her body—the wound it created was alive with maggots—and she was covered with fleas and tics.

My vet treated her with Frontline and told me that Frontline kills 100% of fleas within 12 hours of application, while ticks will die within 48 hours of contact with a treated pet. Each application lasts to protect your pet for a full month.

He sold me a pack of three treatments costing well over $50, but by the time these had run out I had already found that Amazon sells exactly the same product at a 42% savings. On his recommendation, I also switched my two Dalmatians from Advantix to Frontline. In his opinion Frontline flea protection lasts longer.
