Frontline also, is a bit expensive. $60 for 3 months! My question is, would it be bad to use a flea/tick collar or flea/tick spray when he goes outside? I also just got a free sample of Minksheen and it says it has repellant in it... does it actually work? Or should I just stick with Frontline? The problem is, it seems vets push and push for Frontline and Advantix, but don't teach you about other options for our dogs, so I'm clueless as to what I should do. |
I purchase Frontline from my pet store $39.00 for three months.
I wouldn't be without it. It is my understanding that ticks are very
bad this year. Buddy was just at the vet and he tested positive for another
tick desease that seems to be around this year. He is on Frontline also.
21 days of antibiotics. I would never use the spray, heard horror stories about it.
When we purchase a pet we have to think of the expense that goes along
with it. Get the frontline and be safe. Frontline also does not cover every tick.
We can only do the best we can to prevent them from getting sick.
