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.

    • The big difference, other than increasingly flaking paint, seems to be graffiti. The question is, will that/ can it be controlled?
    • I took back my 🤣 because I think the idea is unworkable expensive and would produce little result.  There seems to be people in the office next to the toilet but I don’t think they leave the office. I’m not sure what they do there.  The toilets have been in a disgusting state for months and months with many promises to repair they are not functional and they invite vandalism. I shall  try to add a couple of photos. The council doesn’t care why should we?
    • There will always be kids pushing the envelope as the saying goes, but having some boundaries should help most understand what they can and cannot do. I think dedicated, daily park wardens is exactly what is required...with a hotline to SNT teams on the beat. Is there no way money made from Gala or from Park parking fees can be diverted to provide that funding? I feel it would be a really good use of money. The principle aim being to maintain the park as a safe and relaxing environment for all. If funding really cannot be found I wonder if there might be funding to at least train volunteer park wardens?
    • Its almost the same as Grove Vale School , now Goose Green School.
