I still don't use it because we usually steer clear of new products here until they are proven safe and effective (and I don't want to give a flea preventative during the winter), but maybe someday I'll switch to it.

For now we'll stick with Sentinel, Interceptor, and Heartgard because they have proven themselves over a long period.
If you give your dog Sentinel are you also giving another medication for ticks?
