Any reviews (good or bad) on which flea killer is best PROGRAM or ADVANTAGE. I have 4 indoor cats and.....?

Question

i need the best protection for the best price!!! Thank you to all who reply.

Answer 1

Advantage is generally more effective because it actually kills fleas, whereas Program just prevents them from reproducing effectively. So, if a flea jumps on your cat at any point, it will not die if the cat is solely on Program. However, its progeny will be unable to develop from the egg stage. For that reason, it is often recommended for strictly indoor animals like yours, since it is unlikely there will be a new source of fleas.

All that said, in my experience, Advantage is just generally more effective (and much quicker).

Answer 2

Program doesn't kill fleas, it sterilizes them, thus preventing an infestation. It's a preventative; no good if you already have fleas.

I like Frontline Plus best because it kills the flea eggs and larvae as well as the adult fleas and you only have to use it every 6 weeks.

Take the kitten with you, while you cross to the vet. They can inform you what to make use of at the kitten, due to the fact that it is so younger. Better to have THEM deliver you the data that you wish to have, as an alternative than depending on others, who MAY (or won't) understand what they are speakme approximately! I'm utilizing the NEW flea product, referred to as ProMeris. It's doing a wonderful process.......I wasn't having a lot good fortune with the others. This is a brand new components, not like any of the older ones. You're going to ought to "deal with" your condo for fleas, too, you realize........ Good good fortune.......

Answer 4

I go with the vet. Mostly because I think it is better to put something on the OUTSIDE of your cat for flea control rather than using something that goes through the digestive system every month.

Answer 5

PROGRAM doesn't kill fleas at all - in fact it doesn't work unless fleas are biting and sucking blood. Stick with Advantage or Frontline.
