Flea Treatment Cost FAQ
Everything you need to know about budgeting for year-round flea prevention.
Annual flea treatment for a single cat or dog typically costs between £60 and £180, depending on the treatment type, pet size, and how often it is applied. Prescription-strength or combined flea and tick treatments generally cost more than basic over-the-counter options.
Spot-on treatments are usually slightly cheaper per dose than oral tablets, though tablets can work out more cost-effective for pets that groom off topical treatments, since less product is wasted.
Yes. Flea treatments are dosed by weight, so larger dogs need higher-strength packs, which cost more per treatment than the smaller packs used for cats and small dogs.
Most spot-on and tablet treatments are applied monthly, while some collars and longer-acting products last up to three months. Year-round prevention is generally recommended even in colder months, since fleas can survive indoors.
