I went to the vet's yesterday to purchase Fontline. April is here so Bud
get's put back on flea/tick preventive and Frontline is what I use.
Paul, the receptionist told me about a new product on the market this year.
It is made by Frontline and kills the ticks that Frontline leaves behind.
I know Frontline does not kill all kinds of ticks from past experience.
He stated that he has been using it on his four yorkies with no effects at all.
I am always afraid of new things but being cheaper than Frontline I figured
I would try it.
I purchase 3 vials.
It's called VECTRA 30
Ingrediants:
PINOTEFURAN 4.95%
PYRIPROXYFEN .44%
PERMETHRIN 36. 8%

I really hate these products but I have to use one from April-Oct.
We are loaded with deer and woods all around our development not
to mention fleas in the grass all year long.
I thought you might like to know about this product. I hope it works
and Bud has no reaction to it. I applied the first application this am.
It is used the same as Frontline.
Frontline works for him but I found a couple of ticks on him buried and
not killed by this product. I called Frontline and they stated it does not
kill all ticks. This is suppose to within 6hrs.
We'll see.
