I am extremely worried about all of the negative disscussions about the Permethrin pesticide in Vectra! It also doesn't seem to be working that well since I am still finding so many ticks on him.

We have tried Revolution, and now I'm scared of Vectra- I have heard horrible things about K-9 Advantix, what about Frontline Plus? I feel like there is nothing left for us to try!
Well, I'm not comfortable with permethrin, but many people are.
It comes down to what works for your dog and use the least amount possible.
I don't like Revolution either, so I'm picky I guess.

Frontline Plus is fine (doesn't mean it can't be toxic over time), but some of the other products may control ticks better. It's worth a try though.
