yes, we also use Advantage on Trevor. The vet put it on him at 7 weeks. He is also on Sentinel which is for heartworms and also kills round worms, etc.

Last week he woke me up throwing up and had diarrhia. I was so upset, but didn't want to call the vet at 2:00 am. So as soon as the vet opened I rushed him down there and found out he had a terrible case of tape worms. They had wormed him about 10 days before, but they were so bad, it didn't kill them all. The vet came him a shot to kill them and some more pills. He started lecturing me on keeping my dog free of fleas and I had to set him straight that my dogs NEVER have fleas and if he checked Trevor's records he would see that the day after I got Trevor and took him for a check up that he had flea dermatitis. So he got the fleas from his breeder. Luckily it was a visiting vet since mine was out of town. Boy, I hate vets that talk to you like you have no sense!
