Owning 5 cats and 2 dogs, I spend quite a bit of money on liquid flea medication for them every spring and summer. I have priced pet supplies at several locations, like the veterinary’s office, pet stores and online. It is amazing the various cost ranges for the same flea medication, from $32 to $40 for a 3 month supply for one pet. The cost for 7 pets can cost over $280 for 3 month’s supply.

I believe one of my cats is allergic to the flea medication because of the bad skin reaction he has. I sure wish I knew what would work best for him. I have tried flea collars and they are not effective for the entire month or do not work at all. For cats that do not go outside at all, I have a hard time understanding how they get fleas. As a family, we are not bitten at all from fleas, so why do the cats get them? I vacuum my house flooring two to three times a week and take the vacuum cleaner outside and remove the bag. The dogs are in a kennel with dirt flooring and I can understand how they can come in contact with the fleas. Seems like every year we go through this same battle with the fleas and the cats.
