Question

Which is the best flea spray for cats? I tried FRONTLINE flea treatment but it didn't seem to work. Pet's info: Cat | British Shorthair | Female | spayed | 17 years and 10 months old | 3.6 lbs

I personally don't recommend any over-the-counter flea sprays for cats, as they tend to not be very effective and many can be dangerous depending on the chemicals used. Cats are very sensitive! The best over-the-counter flea treatment available for cats is Advantage. Better options for fleas, which also prevent intestinal parasites and heartworm disease, are Advantage Multi (Advocate) or Revolution (Stronghold) - these are prescription medications you can get from your veterinarian, or order online with a prescription from the vet.
