Your pup is definitely having a reaction to the Frontline. Do you have fleas and ticks in your area or are you being super preventive?

I do not give my girls flea protection at all. The shampoos I use for weekly grooming contail essential oils that are natural flea/tick repellents, as are our conditioning spray we use daily. We haven't had any issues at all.

I use Frontline also, and Finnigan freaks out trying to dry himself off on everything! He always does this when he gets even a little wet. I don't use it in the winter, because we just use it because of the ticks in spring-fall.

I have a cat that goes outside and then sleeps inside....so he is the culprit of the fleas. My pups don't have fleas (I don't think) but occasionally I will see them scratching and I can't think what else it could be.

It was 93 here yesterday. Ugh! I don't think winter is ever coming for us.

How frustrating for you, and i cant imagine watching it and feeling helpless to "make it better". I think I would look for another alternative as it sounds like a possible allergic reaction. In my opinion. Let us know if you find something that works that maybe is a milder formula? I would be interested. I do know there are other alternatives out there but have not heard any "first hand" opinions on their effectiveness. Take care.
