Jackson already had lymes last year (and was treated for it) so I'd like to keep him lymes-free here on out. I tested him in January and he came up negative, yay! I did purchase Frontline for the winter since ticks are not as relevant in the winter so the Frontline worked for us for these past few months. We use Iverhart Plus pill for heartworm which has worked great.
I am just now looking into another options for flea/tick though with spring heading our way. K9 Advantix worked REALLY well for us last year... it also repels mosquitoes which is nice, and I believe it's supposed to prevent the tick from even latching on, whereas Frontline doesn't, like you said. The K9 Advantix apparently has a questionable ingredient in it that is considered not very safe though but it was the only thing that worked for us in the summer. I am highly interested in the all-in-one type pills so will be curious to hear peoples opinions on Revolution, Comfortis, etc. Just realized Revolution is topical as well... I hate putting that stuff on his hair, it's sooo nasty and gross.
