| Anyone else have fleas? Pita is on Revolution AND K9 Advantix and I still have problems with the one or two fleas that insist on jumping on her and driving her crazy. I live in Florida on 4 acres so treating the yard won't help. Is there anything anyone has used orally that helps? Garlic or something?? |

| I know when I first got Mia she came to me with fleas from the breeder and the vet gave me Advantage and they were gone for a couple of days but back after 3 or 4 days! So I switched to Frontline, and I haven't seen one flea since! I definitely think its the best one out there! |

| ALL the people with dogs in my area (myself included) are fighting with fleas. I have since we got Sandy. Frontline works best for us, but if I miss the monthly dose by more than a week the fleas start jumping again. I used a fogger in my house and that really seemed to help.

| Frontline works best. I suggest you take you baby with you to a groomer and have her bathed in in a flea bath and on that very day, flea bomb your entire house and wash all her bedding. A day or two after the bath (putting Frontline on RIGHT after the bat is a bad idea. A day or two after allows the body's natural oils to rejuvionate therefor allowing the frontline to "soak in" better.) apply the Frontline. Just be sure you get in on her monthly. It works wonders.

| No Fleas yet but TICKS! We haven't had problems with fleas, but I have found 2 ticks on her one was just crawling and the other was actually trying to suck her tiny brains out. SO BE CAREFUL everyone watch your little ones. By the way I'm in Ohio so i'm not sure if it is just here or not but just a warning! |

| I use the Frontline Plus and live in south Louisiana where the fleas and mosquitos are the size of horseflies. I've been using it monthly. If you use Advantix, the vet told me that you have to use certain types of shampoo so that it doesn't degrade the potency. Lisa
