I just got back from the Vet and we had a discussion on this very topic. I came home with K9 advantix. He prefers frontline (he sells both) but he suggested the K9 advantix for Mayzie because the dosage is smaller. Where we live, we don't have a real problem with fleas. My 2 Golden Ret. didn't have a one last season. I think he told me that both of them can go in one spot. He said bigger dogs you have to go down the back. He also told me not to apply it within 2 days before bathing or before 2 days after bathing her. I just paid 11 dollars for a single dose. I know it would be a lot cheaper for the 6months + 1 free dose (7 months) but this was not a good week for the extra expense. The 7 months was 59.50. After our mild winter, I think I will be the GR's on a regimen this season also. I will choose frontline for them. I think the vet said he feels that does a better job on Ticks (but don't quote me on that one). |
