My cat has fleas. Is Advantage or Frontline better for home treatment?

Question

Hi. I think my cat has a case of feline fleas)ticks. He is excessively scratching himself, and I can see little dark objects moving under his fur with some blood spots. Should I begin home treatment with Advantage/Frontline? Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Male | neutered | 12 lbs

Yes that sounds like you cat might be having fleas so no harm at all if you want to start the treatment with appropriate dosage of one of the two. I would suggest to go for Advantage though as Frontline seems not working so well at the moment. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
