| Tick and Flea Defense I have a small 6 pound 16 week yorkie , and our vet gave us the usual free vector 3D to use on her, i don't really like it. She scratches around her collar a lot ( probably the just the collar) and her lower back close to her right leg. I didn't really see any ticks or flea, but I don't want to continue using it on her. What would you suggest I try? I was thinking Frontline but i also would like to stick to the natural way since she eats pretty organic ( slowly transitioning her to raw). Any help will be great! |

| We have always used Frontline Plus. I have heard reports of it not working but I personally haven't had an issue. The Seresto collar is one that many are suggesting to try. I didn't want to use a collar that might break my dog out though.

| Puppy's will scratch at there collars because they are not used to them. Frontline doesn't really work any more. I really like nexguard both my yorkies have never had a reaction.

| DO NOT use vectra 3d my baby had a bad reaction! My vet still tried to push the product even after she was in clear visible pain. It worked for a year and after that we got her a collar. |

| What do you guys do for very little dogs? I'd like to get something for my 2lbs 6oz pup but all the drops are 5+ lbs and I don't want to use more than absolutely necessary. What would you guys recommend?

| All these drops are for bigger dogs. Frontline for instance goes 4-10 lbs.The smallest I can get is 3-10lbs but most of them say don't use it on dogs smaller than that. Since my dog will probably never reach 3lbs I need something I can use with her on a regular basis. I'm ok with spay form or a homeopathic solution as well as long as it works...

| I wish I had one I trust. We just got the puppy a 1,5months ago and I'm in the process of finding one that has some good personal reviews, doesn't want to sell me the stars off the sky and doesn't cost an arm and a leg for the procedures we will likely to have...
