| advantage and peanut butter I use Advantage on Tricksie and have had to apply 3 applications in a month. She is hardly ever outside and most my home has ceramic tile floors. I have to make sure they are cleaned every morning before I put her down because she will pick up any and everything. Is it possible that this treatment does not work on some dogs? We have no other animals. Checked on Advantage website and it says that you can apply it every week!!!!! Also, the Kong toys, they suggest using peanut butter. Has anyone had a problem with their yorkie being allergic? I am sick about the robbers that stole the pups and put them in a garbage bag. SICK

| Why are you having to apply it so often? Do you mean it is not working and she is getting fleas? I have not heard of applying any of them every week. I use Frontline Plus and my dogs have never had fleas here. Our little Jack Russell had fleas when we bought her but we took her straight for a bath and put her Frontline Plus on -- never another flea.

| My vet advised against advantage, said they had too many complaint of it not working. I use frontline and usually one treatment last 2 to 3 months. |

| My Vet recommended Revolution. We have a lot of stray cats around and when I took Sassy outside, she got a flea. I tried and tried to get it. Saw it only once. Now that we have used the Revolution....problem has been eliminated. |

| Are you sure its fleas?? Do you see any? Maybe just a reaction to corn in her food? Mine are doing a bunch of scratching, but I don't see any fleas or residue from them??
