Melody will be due soon for flea treatment and I am having trouble deciding what to use, if to use, etc. She is INDOOR ONLY. I do, however, see the point of having the protection so she won't pick up fleas at the vet or when the windows are open.
Since she was adopted a year ago, she has had Bravecto applied once every 3 months. It is expensive--just over $70/dose from the vet. I have been looking around and see that I could get Bravecto for about $50 on Chewy--assuming the vet will write the Rx for me to use elsewhere. But, Melody just seems a bit 'off' for a week or so after each application. I was thinking of trying something else.
What is everyone's experience with OTC flea medications? [I prefer topical over oral--because I'd like to keep my fingers on my hands.] Do you have favorites or ones you would avoid? Good source to buy them-web or store?
Its getting closer to cold weather here in Ohio and I am not feeling really pressured to decide as the temps dropp.
