Broadline for cats

[meriad]

Has anyone used Broadline as flea and worm treatment for their cats?

Any views opinions?

Yes, I have been using it on Tilly for the lat 10 months. Works OK and is easier to get on.

Yes, I've used it on mine and all the rescue cats use it as it may not be cheap but it does work out cheaper than separate flea and worm treatments. It seems to work fine, but I'm not too fond of it, personally. There seems to be about twice as much of it as there was of Frontline so I find it hard to apply without it dripping everywhere, and I also find it makes a really sticky, greasy patch on the back of their necks that lasts for weeks. As he's mostly white, it really shows on Daz, who had a grubby grey patch on his neck and shoulders for a good five or six weeks after I applied it. I've got no major issues with it, just minor annoyances.

Surprised you had that mess, Crewella. Don't seem to get that problem with Tilly (though she is long haired, of course). As for applying it I find the plunger affair easier to handle than the Frontline capsule and there is no tell tale snap due to breaking the end off to alert a sleeping cat. Compared to pilling Tilly for worms its a doddle!
