| Revolution vs Frontline/Advantage question My breeder is VERY against Revolution and only uses one dose of Advantage when needed My vet is against Frontline/Advantage bc she said they are pesticides and Revolution is a medication so safer and better I'm not sure which to go with and need to chose bc we are dealing with fleas right now with our other dog so want to put preventative on them both Can anyone weigh in with their experiences or info they have? thanks! (I do not like to over treat and am very cautious about using meds) |

| let me add.....if i recall correctly, my vet was involved in either the creation or the testing of revolution that could either make her very well informed or make her biased lol |

Donating YT 30K Club Member | I use Revolution on my 3. But I only use it in the summer. I hate putting anything on them but I did get fleas last summer so I started using it again. So far no problems that I can attribute to Revolution.

| I prefer pills for heart worm rather then a topical I just don't feel safe that its giving the needed protection. I would go with the advantage for the fleas but that's just my opinion, you have to do what you feel safe doing.

| I've used Frontline for 13 years. I use it without an issue. I don't trust Revolution.
