Title: Anyone use Broadline for fleas and worms?
Post by: Tempest on November 08, 2014, 16:37:28 PM

I usually use frontline every 5 weeks on my 2 cats and they have Milbemax tablets every 3 months for the worming side of things. One of them is impossible to get a tablet down though so we have to take her to the vet nurse to have it done each time.

Last time we were there the vet nurse told us about Broadline which does both worms and fleas and is a spot on treatment so I thought that might save us a few trips to the vets as we can administer that ourselves at home :)

I just wondered if anyone had used it and how you rate it really? I also noticed that you need a prescription to buy it online which is something I've never done before as frontline doesn't require one so if anyone has any advice on that side of things and how easy it is to get a prescription via your own vet I would be really grateful :)

My vet is now charging a lot for prescription and some also want to see the cat, so even more cost!

You will need to ask your vet

Sounds like a good idea - I wish they did it with other mixtures as I would not use Frontlne these days.
