I really think Frontline Plus attracts ticks around these areas, LOL. I swear, I did not put any flea/tick stuff on him all summer (well, I gave him one dose of K9 Advantix in June) and saw NO ticks (or fleas) all summer long. First week of October comes around, I figure I'll give him a dose of Frontline Plus to be safe, since he hasn't had any in a while. Suddenly finding ticks left and right on him. Stopped it, and again, haven't seen any ticks since. It's just so strange.

I don't really like Advantix as much due to the permerthin, and think Frontline may be a bit safer of a choice, but I think I'm going to apply Advantix to him once every 2-3 months and not bother with Frontline anymore.
