Frontline Plus

[southernbelle04]

I would speak to a vet as well. We use Frontline Plus with Katie Scarlett and so far have not had any problems. But this will be our first spring/summer with her. We live in the country as well. I hope it will work good. If not, you can bet I'll be speaking with our vet to change. I had heard so many good things about it before we got our KS, but now I have heard lots of complaints about it recently.

Could you give me the name of the all natural flea med you use. I really do not like to use the others but in FL fleas and ticks can/are a year round problem and Zeke has a flea bit allergy that can drive him bonkers.

FYI - Advantix is deadly to cats! So should not be used on them, or if your dogs play with the cats in close proximity.

Permethrin causes organophosphate poisoning in kitties. It shouldn't be used anywhere near them.


If I see fleas, on goes the Frontline (it works around here fairly well). If I was going to give something monthly (just for fleas and not for ticks) it would be Sentinel for us. I like it quite a bit.
