Nonprescription flea repellent?

I would like a flea remedy I can buy at PetsMART/wherever. I do not
want it to require a prescription.

Kitty has tape worms again and I want to make sure the fleas are
killed first.

Thank you.

What are you going to use to get rid of the tape worm?

Advantage and Frontline are available online
I'm sure there are other places to get what you're looking for but here are
a few.

Whatever you use, I would make sure it's safe, and stay away from
products made by Hartz. Calling the vet's office only takes a moment,
and they can verify the safety of the product you want to use. As far
as I know, there aren't any effective OTC preps for tape worm.

If you have a regular vet, he'll probably sell you Droncet over the
counter and not require an exam.

Why does your cat have fleas and worms? I thought he was
an indoor-only cat?

What hat did you pull that idea out of? My post clearly had
nothing to do with over-the-counter tape worm medicine.

What the hell are you talking about? It is a legitimate question. If your
cat is indoor only,
how did he get fleas and worms?
