| Vectra 3D Frontline Plus has not worked for my 7 pound Yorkie ...my vet has recommended Vectra 3D. Any comments about this product? I'd appreciate your input. I'll give her the first treatment this week. |

| We used it when we had a flea problem in our house and worked great. I also have a 7 lb yorkie, a 14 lb yorkie, and a 15ish lb cat.

| Conner was on Revolution. He was vomiting, so I took him to the vet. He was diagnosed with anaplasmosis (from a tick bite). The tech told me that with Revolution the tick has to actually bite before it dies! She told me that I should change to Vectra because it repels fleas and ticks. Since Conner has been on Vectra, he has not had one tick. He also was a little lethargic after the Revolution. He has no side effects with the Vectra.

| Thanks a lot for letting us know about your experience with Vectra. My little Abby has allergies and I wouldn't want to give her anything that could cause her discomfort. She's a rescue and we've only had her a few months. We are still learning how best to care and provide for her. She's the love of our lives...LOL. |

| There is a pesticide in it that is not in other meds. I can't remember the name, something that starts with a p I think. Look it up on line. It's been know to kill many dog's and is a very dangerous chemical. My vet also recommended it, I bought it came here to talk about it was told what I just mentioned above and I returned it to the vet. I looked it up on line and did not like what I read. I will only use Frontline plus. Never had a problem with it. Check this out before you use it then make your decision. |

| vectra I have read a number of reviews by users ...and a lot of mixed results ...some good and some really bad. I'm becoming uneasy about applying it to Abby. I belileve I'll just go back to my Frontline Plus because she had no reaction to it. I suspect the poor result were more my fault than the products because it had been on her for a little more than a month ...probably lost its effectiveness ... 'preciate your input. |
