I know there is a lot of cat lovers both in East Dulwich & on this Forum.


Looking for advise...


Whats the best flee treatment to go for ?


Online there is mixed reviews on all the products & brands. Some people say Frontline is great, others say its over priced and that the cheap stuff is just as good.


Any advise is much appreciated.

Do not use Bob Martin! I bought some for my cat, administered it, read online reviews and promptly threw my cat into the shower and washed it off him much to his discontent. The reviews seem to indicate that people have used it on their animals and have had their cats having fits and seizures with most of them dying horribly! I have no idea whetehr these are authentic or some rival company posting loads of fake reviews but I can tell you that my friend?s cat had a seizure which was horrible and died in my arms and she had been treated with Bob Martin!


I took mine to the vet on Lordship lane and got some prescription ones from there and he has been fine and flea free!

Advocate does more than just fleas - probably why it is a little bit more expensive but I feel its reliable. One of our cats gets a skin reaction to some bites which we are not sure of even though she has not got fleas and this is the only product that calms her skin down and helps her. I think it also treats worms too and it also treats ear mites. A good all in one.

Advocate does NOT prevent or treat ticks (unfortunately)

I know because I too use it for my cats. The only effective

treatment for ticks as far as I know is Frontline, so if

your cats are unfortunate enough to get ticks, as mine have done

in the past, you will have to use Frontline too at least for a few

months until they are clear.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
