We were told this for Milbemax and Advocate as again has the same active ingredient. However , the drugs company have confirmed after running trials that no side effects occur and it's safe to use both at the same time.

Milbemax and Stronghold can be used on the same day provided you have an accurate weight for the cat. The danger of using the combination is when overdosing of Milbemax occurs.

remember not to give milbemax and stronghold on the same day, i was told to advise 2 weeks apart. As they contain the same active ingredient so you can cause an overdose.

If you want tapeworm only treatment you don't have to use a multi wormer, you can use Droncit. That's what we recommend, alongside Advocate (prefer it to Stronghold for the lungworm cover).

Yes drontal is good too, as is milbemax. As someone pointed out above, stronghold doesnt do tapeworm so should worm at least every 6months to cover for this. Both drontal and milbemax safe to use with S'hold.

Do you know what sort of worms they are? Stronghold doesn't treat tapeworms (looks like rice) so we would recommend treating them with drontal or milbemax every 3-6 months for these worms or more freq if they are big hunters.

Drontal is good stuff though isn't it?

What age are the kittens?

Shouldn't you be treating with Panacur when they are young?
