Hi I was looking to change my puppy's Flea/tick medication.

I have been using Frontline because I was told it was less harsh on small dogs. The only problem is that often he will have a flea infestation for a day or so.

I called Frontline and they said this is normal if you take your dog out often where other dogs/animals are. This is because Frontline DOES NOT repel fleas, it only kills them. It also takes up to 18 hours for the fleas to die.

Anyways I'd like a medication that Kills adult/eggs, Repels, AND takes care of mosquitos. A bonus would be one that you all would recommend for a 9 month old puppy only 5 lbs

Am I asking for too much to get something that both works and is not to "harsh"?
