Its getting to be that time of year

Just curious.....what do you use??? I tried Frontline last year and we didn't think it worked well. What about advantage???

I need to order something ASAP. I don;t want to have a problem this year!

What works for you ?

Breny I was an "advantage" user for years. It did a great job for us here keeping fleas away. I'm now using "revolution" for the added things it covers other than fleas. I always dred the "flea season" but haven't seen one in years so that's a good thing! I despise the little suckers.

I use frontline on Phoebe work great never saw a flea, today I use revolution because it seems to cover other stuff will see

We also use revalution, its done really well for us.

I use Sentinel for fleas and heartworm/roundworm. I've found it effective for us - but my babies only go outside to quickly potty and for brief walks. I also use the SheaPet shampoo/conditioner which has essential oils known to repel fleas.

I use Revolution because it does everything. Fleas, ticks, mites, heartworms too.

Yorkieluv · 03-18-2007, 04:29 PM

Revolution is what we use, and it works really well

romeos mommy · 03-18-2007, 04:34 PM

revolution

Breny · 03-18-2007, 04:43 PM

Can you purchase Revolution elsewhere besides your vet? My vet charges almost double for things that I've found online.

txshopper73 · 03-18-2007, 04:46 PM

Revolution is a bit more pricey than the others but I've found that it works really well. Flea season should hit hear around April/May and it gets REALLY bad but only for about a month. I also treat the yard and the borders really well. After about a month, the fleas are no more until next year.

Yorkieluv · 03-18-2007, 04:50 PM

Yep, revolution costs a bit more, but if you take into consideration that it's also a heartworm preventive, the price works. You don't have to buy two different products such as heartguard and advantage, just one.

We travel in our camper. Murfee has 37 thousand miles on him. We have used revolution and been very happy with it. He is in the woods a lot.

Txgurl06 · 03-18-2007, 04:54 PM

when i went to get skoshi's shots it cost 23 dollars and that included the revolution. so i dont think they charge us too much for it.

how much is it usually?

patty58 · 03-18-2007, 05:02 PM

I usually buy a years supply at a time and it costs about $125
