Luckily, there are dozens of flea medicines that help solve the problem. Below are 7 of the best flea medicines for cats that are affordable and work really well.

1. Bayer Advantage II Flea Prevention for Large Cats

This is one of the best if not the best flea treatment there is for your cat. It works through contact and doesn’t require the fleas to take a bite for the treatment to work. It not only kills adult fleas but also its eggs and larvae.
