| Which Flea/Heartworm Prevention?? So, I am looking into which flea and tick and heartworm prevention I should use on my yorkie. I have been looking around on what 1800petmeds has to offer and found this stuff called Sentinel. From what I read, it prevents heartworm and fleas both. Is anyone familiar with Sentinel? What are your thoughts on it? Does anyone else have suggestions for flea/heartworm prevention? |

| I'm right there with ya! Haha Have you ever split up a larger dose of Advantix? I'm planning on using that too.

| My two were on Interceptor till it was discontinued. Then went on Heartguard but have changed to Sentinel few months ago. I used to put advantix II on them but I kept finding ticks on both Magnus/Zoey too often. |

I heard from a few people that said the same, when using the frontline and advantix II they still found ticks and fleas on their dogs. I dont trust the topical stuff. | |

So far so good with both Magnus/Zoey. I haven't seen any negative reaction so I'll keep them on this stuff unless I hear/see otherwise. | |

| I use Revolution on Deuce. He has problems with most of the other meds. It seems to work for us.

| Heartguard Plus for heartworms. Flea/tick meds as needed (usually only summer). K9 Advantix works better for ticks around here, but sometimes I'll get Frontline since it's cheaper.
