| 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 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.

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

Donating YT 14K Club Member | 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.

| 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. |
