I'm with everyone else....Bella isn't outside much, really since I have no yard, so only when I'm walking her. I've read so many bad things about flea meds causing horrible neurologic problems that I stopped treating her as a preventative. I'm with Ellie May.....if I ever see a flea (which I haven't since I stopped using it anyway) we'd bathe with Dawn and then if that didn't lick it, we'd use Frontline, but only until the fleas were gone, and then back to nothing at all.

I also use Interceptor and had been planning to skip during winter, but it doesn't look like it's going to stay cold enough here this year to be able to skip. I'll have to look it up again, but I think it has to STAY below 56 F for 2 weeks solid before it's ok to stop and then once it stays above 56 F for 2 wks you should start giving it again in like 4-6 wks. Again, I'd have to look that up again, but we keep having 60+ days here and have been, so I guess we'll be treating year round
