| Flea Medication What type of flea medication works best on our little yorkies. I haven't had any problems yet but I have an indoor kitty and I don't want my little pup bringing any little hop hop critters into the house. I do give him heartgard for heartworms but I haven't yet started a flea prevention system.

| I use revolution, which is the heart meds, flea, tick and ear mites, all combined in one application. Works good for Mia so far.... |

| We also use the Revolution. It is dosed based on weight which is closer to our babies sizes. They have a 1-5 lb and 5-10 lb dosage. some of the meds cover too broad of weight (i.e. 1-30 lbs.) and those are way too strong for our little ones. We have never had a problem with the Revolution. It is topical on the back of their necks and you can bathe them after 24 hours of application although i always wait a week afterwards just to make sure. |

| Thanks so much for all of the responses. I use Revolution for my kitty even though he is strickly indoors but I wasn't aware that it was available for dogs. I sure like how it is all-encompassing. Do you purchase it from your vet or is there a website online that I can get it for less $$$?
