| I've always used frontline but to be honest with you last year I didn't feel like it was working as well as it always did in the past. So for this year I"m going to have to switch to something else myself. I'd like to hear some new flea treatments myself..

| I use advantix because it is the only one that is for Fleas, Ticks and Mosquitos...Even though I use that, I still use Heartguard for the wondermutt...and I will for the new baby. I used Frontline Plus for one summer and never will again.. The ticks are too bad here and it was completely ineffective. I hope this helps.. Brenda

| We have used Frontline and Advantage, and we think Advantage works the best. We get ours from the vets also. Very reasonable as well. |

| I use K-9 Advantix and it works well. Frontline Plus caused a skin reaction in my bulldog. I buy from Drs. Foster and Smith online. They have the lowest prices on flea and tick products, by far. Julie |

| My breeder said to use Revolution and that is what I use. I think it works great, for heartworm and fleas, ear mites and ticks. Barbara - Emmie and Izzy B's mom

Prevents and controls fleas Prevents heartworm, ear mites, Treats and controls sarcoptic mange, controls ticks treats and controls intestinal hookworm and roundworm. Plus it comes in a dose for puppies less than 5 lbs. I haven't put it on just yet because she is in heat and not feeling well and i didn't want to risk any kind of a reaction.
