I haven't done all my research but everytime I hear Frontline i get the willies. Mostly because I met a friend recently who thinks his dog (not a yorkie) died b/c of Frontline and something in the ingredients. I'm not sure how true this is and if his deduction is accurate but it makes me cautious. Hopefully some senior yorkie talkers can weigh in! |
When the dogs were puppies I used frontline, but I learned that it doesn't have a tick preventative in it and will only kill the tick AFTER it's already embedded itself. By then, my dogs could have already contracted lymes. Ticks are really bad in this area too and a lot of them are lymes carriers, so it worries me.
I was just looking at Sentenial, Interceptor, and also Revolution. Revolution apparently has an all in one heartworm/flea/tick preventative...
Revolution: Flea Control Medicine For Cats & Dogs - 1800PetMeds. I'm anxious to see what others use and say.
