I don’t typically put any Flea Preventatives on my kitties. However was exploring products at my vet. Advantage Multi seems to be a one To take care of multiple parasites and such. My question is should I purchase it? Or will they be fine without any preventative? My dogs are on preventative year around however many breeders recommend no preventative so just wanting opinions.

I do not put on or give any flea preventative to my cats

(For my dogs it’s been years - I keep frontline plus and most recently ordered frontline gold to keep on hand )

I posted recently about the FDA warning on flea meds)

Surely others will chime in

Hi, as long as your dogs are protected, you should be fine. Usually treatment starts from May to July, depending on the weather. The one year I decided not to give my dog Flea meds, she gave both me and the fur cat fleas. I had to take both to the vet ($$$) to get treated. . . and had to buy a new set of bed sheets :( Not sure if fleas would even be attracted to a hairless cat?!
