Effect: good, but ...

I use the Frontline Combo from the vet for my Maine Coon cat who is release prisoners. Rural residential area, lots of fleas and ticks present.
The medication works. Unfortunately, different lengths. 6 weeks against fleas, ticks, however, against only 2. And it's really true. After 2 weeks, the ticks remain on the animal. That's my opinion too short. Above all: When I shall now apply a new pipette? Approximately every 2 weeks? How well get the animal, how expensive is this to be for me?
The application designed each time more difficult. Firstly, because I have to go it alone and he is not cooperative. On the other hand, because he finds the smell of the agent disgusting and immediately cuts off when you arrive with the open pipette. I have long rumkramen so I meet the skin and not the half ends up in fur and therefore is ineffective in the long fur.
In Freigängern the coat must not get wet after application. So do not use in rainy weather.
Seeking honestly looking for an alternative. During the casting time everything is okay, but enough for me not 2 weeks for ticks. For me this means is too expensive.
The notice to apply the funds between the shoulder blades is not useful, because cats can turn your head far enough and lick the points. Increased salivation is then the result. No wonder, it is nevertheless still "poison". So: not higher drankommt the neck, where they guaranteed!
