Flea Resistance

I had a case today of 2 cats that regularly received their program injections and still had fleas. It is common for cats having twice yearly program injections to still get ‘hitch-hiker’ fleas from straying out of their area or other animals may visit their home.  In this case however, the owners had even given Capstar tablets which to me are the ultimate tablets to kill fleas.

Program will actually reimburse these cases and needs to hear about them as it is a very good and expensive product. I was then forced to give the poor cat some more flea drops (Advocate in this case). They are all safe and can be used together but is obviously all very expensive!
