 Best Flea/tick meds
Hello all!! I've had my new baby for a little over a month now, and she has been on revolution which seems to work well for her. However because we have deer ticks in the area her vet wants me to try her on something else. I have read a lot of the threads on here about the different options as well as online and I can't seem to make a decision! For heartworm i'm leaning on interceptor as opposed to heartguard but for flea and tick meds I'm really debating between the topicals Advantix or frontline versus the oral, nextguard. I've read bad reviews on all of them. Frontline seems to be the safest but least effective. I live in Virginia right outside of the Washington DC area. Advantix scares me because of the pesticide it has in it that's toxic to cats, not that I have a cat but that level of toxicity scares me. And I read about other horror stories relating to nextguard such as dry itchy skin, vomiting and in some cases seizures and the development of pancreatous. For people who live in my neck of the woods I would love you your latest input! I travel up to the New Jersey New York area often so Northeast input is needed too! |
