| What do you use for flea prevention? I had an alzoo flea collar on her, but it smelled! What do you use? |

| We use sentinel which covers heartworms, fleas, and intestinal parasites.

| I use this also. But she has been extremely itchy lately and I thought I saw a flea on her! I will call the vet, but her recent itching has been out of control and I have some sort of small insect bite on my leg (she sleeps in my bed). I'm wondering if I need a topical too, or maybe she just has allergies and my bite is unrelated. |

Sentinel won't prevent adult fleas from hopping on the dog...it works by disrupting the female's ability to lay her egg case. I haven't had any fleas ever using frontline (I did 1/2 doses) and this summer we are using sentinel with good results.

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | I've never needed it and I'm not even sure why. We've lived in various states, but my dogs have never gotten fleas. I'm going to go knock on wood.

| We sentenel too, but we have never had a flea problem since moving to town. My DH keeps a nice manicured lawn and I don't think they like the constant mowing, watering and fertilizer. Having said that something is biting my dogs but it doesn't look like flea bites.

| Never had a flea problem anyway, but we've been using Nexgard for fleas/ticks (more so for ticks) and haven't had any problems yet!
