First I was using Parastar. He got fleas like 2 months ago. After the Parastar I tried the Seresto Collar. He didn't like it and I didn't like it, so I just tried Frontline Plus 2 weeks ago. I walk him over 3 miles a day. He was biting himself a little bit yesterday after our walk. I investigated and found nothing. I was doing my daily grooming/brushing today (on a table with a white pillow case under him) and a little bit of flea dirt fell-just a little bit. I tested it with the paper towel and sprayed it and smeared it, it was flea dirt. Is this something I should worry about? Did the Frontline Plus not work either? Why is he a flea magnet? I get him groomed every 4 weeks and keep his hair short. Oh and he's also on Sentinel so I don't have to worry about the eggs....right?
Can anyone suggest why I'm having such bad luck or maybe this is normal. And what flea and tick prevention I should use? I was thinking Comfortis for fleas, but then I would need something for ticks. Or just keep using Frontine Plus?
