| flea Good day all! I think I saw a flea on my baby this morning. I was wondering what you all use on your yard. I plan to get some flea shampoo for her. I have never had flea issue on any of my dogs.

| My dh found a flea on Brutus and was freaking out, he wanted to bomb the house, etc. Brutus is on Sentinel and I also have my yard treated for fleas and ticks - better be safe than sorry.

| I apply Frontline Plus on both my fluffs. It's a monthly topical application and we've had great deal of success with it. I can take them to dog parks with no worries. |

| This is such a bad year for fleas in Alabama. We did not have a winter to speak of. I had been using Frontline but it was not working this year. We are using Advantage Mutil which is a topical for fleas, ticks etc and heartworm also. So far we have had good response...Good luck!

| We purchase Advantix II... it is better than Frontline because it REPELS fleas as well. Last time I did the comparison, Frontline doesn't. The heat makes fleas come out-- one day I saw 1 on Avery and the next there were 10. We try to avoid using flea meds unless it's during the summer or he has them. Go through 1-800 petmeds... you get free shipping and can find a $5 off code.

| We are using Vectra 3D and I also treat my yards. Fleas have not been an issue for us. Now ticks are another story.
