My question too. I have used Frontline on and off over the years, but am really concerned about the hazards it might pose to my dog and myself. These are chemicals and they are absorbed by the skin - just doesn't sound very healthy to me. I generally use Frontline only two or three months out of the year. The rest of the year, I use some natural flea products that my local dog stores sell. One of them is flea & tick wipes - I use these before going out into the woods and then again when we come inside. I also keep my dogs' hair short in the summer so that I can easily find any ticks.
