Hi all. During the few times I used topical flea products on my cats, the product I always used was Revolution. I bought it from my vets; it seemed to work well and never made my cats ill. I haven't had any kind of a flea problem in years, until now, when I brought home a kitten was apparently had fleas. The breeder I bought her from seems adverse to "chemical" products and recommended a "natural" flea spray by Natural Chemistry, which smells nice but I don't think really does squat against fleas. I'm also somewhat concerned because said product contains oils of clove, cinnamon, and cedar, and I'm nervous about how safe those are for cats.
Anyway, since fleas are now eating my 2 older cats alive, I dug out some old Revolution that I had in a drawer. Yeah, so it expired in 2016, but was still sealed, so I used it anyway. I didn't use any on the kitten because it was for cats 5 lbs and over and I didn't want to risk it. I went to my vets office today and asked if I could buy some Revolution and they said that they now only sell Frontline. Going online, it seems that many pet owners are complaining that fleas seem to be becoming immune to Frontline and its not working too well any more. I have no idea why my vets stopping carrying Revolution - they are a VCA hospital now and maybe that has something to do with it. So, anybody here use either or both of these products, and what do you think?
