Merial, Makers of Frontline, Make Flea Treatment Affordable

I lost two cats due to complications of flea infestation due to treatments being so costly.

Why is this important?

This week I had to bury two of my beloved cats, Abby and Arsenic. They caught some fleas and, while I waited for my check so I could treat all my animals, complications developed, resulting in both cats passing on after a two-day valiant struggle - all because flea treatments are so expensive. Lack of wealth should not mean lack of love and responsibility for the family pets. This summer's flea infestation has been virulent on many pets; treatment should be affordable.
