Less than mine - they are just over £4 I think, I didn't get much change from £10 for 2 tabs, luckily it was for 3 cats (advantage of small cats!!)

I pay £3.29 each for mine from my vet....is that a good price for the Milbemax Des?......dont worry i dont by em all at once lol!

Drontal are one of the few tablets I fail with, so I pay more for Milbemax, which is a shame, I could save myself a fortune.

What i hate about drontal is that if you fail on your first attempt the coating dissolves and the cat foams at the mouth

You will possibly hate me but I never have more than one attempt.

I dont consider drontal to be huge tablets, even the xl ones, surprised you hve probs with it lottie as you have bigger than average cats and i thought nfc were laid back ? or does that not include medicating LOL

Bilbo is very laid back until he sees a Drontal and if I manage to get one down him I then have to chase him round the house to catch him again to get the next one down and he knows what is coming so refuses to open his mouth lol. Milbemax is so much easier with at the moment him only needing one tablet. He wouldn't dream of biting you though no matter how cross he got he just wriggles a lot and he is very strong due to his size. He's perfectly well behaved if he has to have antibiotic tablets though even if they aren't the palatable ones. Boopy's a good girl and will eat Milbemax and antibiotic tablets straight from your hand!

A blob of dairylea is all you need - no struggle, no faffing

Its is true if you struggle and faf around the coating comes off and they will froth at the mouth due to the vile taste, Mine just dont get the chance to struggle of faf

i can normally get them down in a piece of steak or i use half a milbemax (which iv never had any side affects from).

To be honest I never have a problem administrating Drontal and the cats never seem to be affected by it.

Personally I can't stand Drontal as they are huge tablets and trying to get 1.5 of the XL ones down a cats throat is not exactly easy and makes them really stressed so I pay the extra for Milbemax. It's a tiny tablet and as 1 tablet does 8kg most cats will only need to have 1 tablet and little cats that weigh 4kg or less only need half a tablet

I'm curious to know he its safe to break up the drontal, not all tablets are safe to do this with but is drontal ok? Although this brings the problem of getting the to take it lol

I think so, when the boys were babies the vet snapped a Drontal in half (as they obviously didn't weigh 4kg) and gave them half each.

Milbemax is prescription only, so would require a prescription from the vet anyway. I personally prefer it, as I find Drontal to big, and struggle to get them to take it.

Hippykitty · « **Reply #6 on:** July 18, 2007, 07:13:15 AM »

I know I keep saying this, but I had such a bad experience after dosing Polly with Milbemax, that I would recommend avoiding this wormer. Maybe what happened was a coincidence, but the timing was suspicious.

CurlyCatz · « **Reply #5 on:** July 16, 2007, 20:56:05 PM »

they actually do free p+p on any orders except for food and heavy type stuff.

Millys Mum · « **Reply #4 on:** July 16, 2007, 20:52:46 PM »

Vet uk are often cheaper and offer free p+p on orders of £10+

Purrs links page has the links on (funnily enough!) and ela's site too

if you use the link to them via a cat charity the charity gets a percentage

We get 5% on all none perscription medicines.

Bazsmum · « **Reply #2 on:** July 16, 2007, 00:53:17 AM »

The only other one I know is www.vetuk.co.uk and if you use the link to them via a cat charity the charity gets a percentage

cant imagine you not knowing this one tho?

smudgepickles · « **Reply #1 on:** July 15, 2007, 23:34:06 PM »

I have been looking into buying my wormers from a different company and came across these. Does anyone use this company or have advice on any other companies would be great
