I use Frontline Plus for Crimson(yorkie-4lbs) & Dooley(pitbull-70lbs). BTW, + Heartgard Plus.
Revolution (fleas & heartworms in one)for the cats Biggles(Spyhnx) & Buttons(DSH)
I use Trifexis(fleas & heartworms-but not ticks) for Milo(poodle-7lbs). I ocassionally add FL to his in the summer for tick protection.

As you know...we are in the south... they are everywhere. Some people treat their yards and home. I haven't done that but many people do. I treat all my animals every 30 days and never see fleas. You just can't trust the "all natural" stuff IMO.

IMHO, Frontline has been around awhile. I trust it. And you can't go wrong with it. If you are worried, buy a single dose from you vet to try.

How big is Sophie. Some people half the small dose because it is labeled for 0-22lbs. I think that is .5ml that she would need but I wouldn't know how to properly save the rest if you didnt have another dog or cat to use it on. Maybe someone can chime in.
