| Flea issues Not sure if this is the right place but what can I use for fleas that actually work? I have used Revolution, Frontline and Bio Spot and they all stop working in about 2 1/2 weeks. Shadow gets a bath before application and In 2 weeks you will start seeing a few and by the time another application is due he is almost covered. Is there anything natural that will work for little guy? |

| I use Advantix and never had a problem. Vet told me to bathe 2 days before or 5 days after an application. Maybe give that a try?

| I forgot that there is 2 types of Frontline. Ours was Frontline Plus. My mother in law has had the same issues with the Frontline. Maybe we got some old stuff because I bought mine at a vet supply store and not my vet. I think I'm going to look into the Frontline spray because we had good luck with that on our cat. |
