| Okay, so thanks to Morgan, I understand what "Program" is. That means that it does NOT protect against ticks, correct? If that is the case, what do you use for tick protection if you use Sentinel?

| [SIZE=3]YES, I just got an email from my Vet announcing that it is FINALLY BACK. Also seems like it is going to be a lower price as well.

| Program is a chitin inhibitor. It does not kill fleas but makes reproduction impossible. Sentinel does nothing for ticks. i do not use tick products. We don't have to here. I hope they have two formulas. Should not need taoework protection if fleas are dealt with. Anybody sitching to Sentinel, remember it dan be nauseating. Always give with a meal, esp. for tummy upset prone pups.

| I called my vet and asked about something for ticks and they told me about this collar they have. I don't see how we COULDN'T have a tick problem in my area but I haven't seen one yet. I guess I'll have to think about it. There are only so many heartworm meds he can take being a herding dog and it's hard to find something with everything for him or with just heartworm med so I can give flea/tick preventative. I don't like the idea of the collar, though.

I just checked Drs Foster and Smith website. I buy from my vet, but checked them out to see what their pricing would be. They say that they are expecting to receive a shipment on 4/22 and a year's supply is priced @ $55.

When all of this started and my Vet ran out of the supply they had, I was at that time able to order from Foster's and Smith and bought enough at that time to last me until now.

| I am really confused... I use K9 Advantix II. Can I use Sentinel???? Are there different Sentinels? I have about 4 months left of Interceptor. Thanks

| Interceptor (milbemycin oxime) is for Heartworm, hookworm, whipworm, roundworm. K9 Advantix II is for ticks and fleas. Sentinel is the same as Interceptor, except it has an additional ingredient (lufenuron) that also covers fleas. Apparently they are going to discontinue Interceptor, so you have a decision to make. Sentinel would cover everything under your current combo except for ticks. I don't know how bad ticks are in your area (I've never had one on my dogs) or if you could get something separately for just ticks. Or, if there would be a problem in using both the Sentinel and the K9 Advantix II together. Or, if someone else makes an equivalent of Interceptor with just the milbemycin oxime alone .....
