| Vectra flea/tick? I went to get some flea med at the vet. Just assumed they were giving me what was on the chart/what Gidget has had before. Got home and realized they gave me Vectra. Has anyone used this? I've seen mixed reviews and info online. I have not applied it yet.

| Never used it and wouldn't unless there was a very good reason to (ticks that couldn't be controlled with other drugs). I'd return it, get your money back, and get something better.

| Thanks. I'll give them a call and return this stuff. I think it was Advantage or Advantix in the past that I've used. Can't remember which one. I'll go look at old bill and give them a call.

| My vet has my bichon on vectra. She used to have frontline plus but the vet stopped carrying frontline plus. It has been 2 years on vectra and we haven't had any issues. It's pretty good I think. No fleas, or ticks ! |

| Never used that. We use Frontline Plus and have never had a flea (or tick)

| I use Advantix. However, my vet is also recommending the Vectra. I am holding out until next year. Waiting to see what happens in the next year after it has been around. Never had any trouble with the Advantix.
