| What should the interval be between Frontline & Heartgard doses? Zoey's prevention meds have been totally screwed up due to an unexplained flea outbreak this fall...I literally haven't seen a flea in years. I hope those fleas just hopped on because of the plethora of wildlife hanging out in our yard. Anyway, I gave her the Frontline every 3 weeks for awhile (as per vet's instructions), and so her regular schedule was all messed up. No fleas lately, so I'm going back to monthly Frontline. I'm thinking heartworm meds and flea meds should be about a week apart. Is this right?

| Have you tried Comfortis?? I use it and it's much better than those other ones...in my opinion.

| Thanks everybody! I'll wait the two weeks then. There's snow on the ground now, so hopefully the little buggers aren't too active.

| Same here. The vets in our area will even tell people that fleas around here have become immune to Frontline. We have used comfortis for all of our dogs for 4 years now!
