It depends on the brand you get and the vet you go to. Some vets do not go for the better brands because they cost more. But I am not saying the more costly ones are better, although sometimes this is usually the case. Over-the-counter treatments such as Bob Martin are usually ineffective or at worse, potentially harmful to the cat due to the ingredients. Brands such as Advantage and Avocate can only be acquired from a veterinary pratice are pricey but very effective with minimal chance of harmful reactions.
