I've been using a combination for flea/heart worm control for several years on my yorkies. We live in a heavily infested mosquito area in the summer. It is just getting to the point where I have to look at another route to take. I've always used "Advantage" for flea control, and "Sentinal" for heartworm. Never seen a flea. Well, I am really tired of having two differnent meds to administer each month. I am planning to start using "Revolution" on Monday since my yorkies are due to have their heartworm/flea meds on Sunday. I've purchased the Revolution although I have a slew of Advantage left over. I am completely out of my Sentinal. Do any of you use Revolution and if so, do you like it? I know it covers a more broad spectrum of gastrointestional worms than the Nemex and Panacur I use for the other types of worms. (so see, there's a 3rd med I've had to administer every 4 months.) I did try to consult my vet on this, (she was out of office when I was there yesterday, and I was "sold" on the Revolution by her vet tech.) But nothing is better than actual yorkie owners experiences with certain products...Just wanted some input while it isn't too late for me to return it and seek another route...

One of our really sweet members informed me a while back of a place that I could order these same meds. So if this is a product that is safe, and works, I can order it in the future for less than I would pay at my vet.

Anyone?
