Oral preventatives seem to be too strong for him too....What is working for you?

We use Advantage on Toto ... from the vet. "Dr. Lucy" told us not to use the Advantage from Wal-Mart, etc. She also said to only use 1/2 vial because Toto is so small. She only had a flea once [when we were in Missouri] ... I was bathing her and saw it and went into screaming hysterics!! She weighed less than 2 lbs then and everything scared me! Like I have said before, we have our vet on "speed-dial" and she simply had us go to a local vet, got Advantage [applied it with a syringe to the middle of her shoulders] ... haven't seen a flea since! We just apply it once a month ... same day she gets her 1/2 heartworm pill!! I would discuss this with my vet if I were you ... good luck!
