Tick & flea treatment

[CleopatrasAsp]

Sent hubby out to get Frontline or similar for my three doggies - he came back with Fiprovet and I was horried at the price of 91 TL for three doses.  Surely there must be cheaper and equally effective brands available.  Your advice would be much appreciated.

Frontline starts at 25 Lira per dose for a small dog

Whoops - that should have read 'horrified'.  Thanks Andy for your quick reply.

have you found a cheaper version of Fibronil yet? I worked until recently for the company that makes it, I'm sure I could get hold of some and bring it over in future.

As the owner of 4 dogs, I always buy from the internet through Bestpet, its free postage in the UK but may not be worthwhile to them to send a small amount to Turkey.  Flea and tick treatments are expensive everywhere,  Flea collars are ok on small dogs but my greyhounds would need one round their tails as well!!

Re Replies #'s 4 & 5.  Luckily when I was back in the UK in June I was able to bring enough back with me to keep my gurlies pest free for a while yet.  It's weird in some respects, my eldest dog whom we rescued as a very small pup rarely suffers from parasite infestations.  She suffered with a form of eczema when she was little which took a long time to clear up and I often wonder whether she built up some sort of immunity to these pests.
Thank you all anyway for your helpful suggestions.
