Frontline vs. advantage anyone know What is the difference between the two (advantage/frontline)? which is better between the two. i've only used advantage on my cat. never a YT. |
My vet recommends Frontline. Is that advantage or Advantics? My vet said there were too many complaints on the Advantics not working |
advantix sorry i meant to say advantix not advantage.... |
i used advantix on muffie last year with no signs of fleas. this year i used frontline and both kirby and muffie had fleas, very few but they had them. i then bought advantix and no more fleas. my neighbor used frontline for 9 years w no fleas and this year she had a terrible problems with fleas she then bought advantix and all the fleas are gone i dont know if frontline has changed in their formula but it seems this year they have been having problems |
actually i'm not sure anymore which one i meant... what's the differnce between all three? :D i think we used advantage though... we got it from the vet and we applied it to the back of my cats neck and that was it. |
I use Frontline. I tried asking my vet which was the best, he told me some info on each. But then I asked which one he used, and he said Frontline. |
I use advantix and :aint no bugs on me. lol |
I've always used frontline for my cats and had no problems or fleas. This is the first time I used Frontline on my Yorkie. He scratched constantly, even three weeks later,I even saw two fleas on his belly that were alive and kicking. I jusy put another dose on him two days ago, and he's still scratching. I thought maybe I got more in his hair than on his skin, but if he continues to scratch after this second dose I won't be using Frontline on my yorkie again. |
I use frontline on Jake. It works great, I've never you the others. Frontline kills on both flea's and ticks. Advantix says that it kills fleas and repels and kills a majority of ticks and mosquitoes. Advantage say that it only kills fleas. |
Used Frontline Plus for over a Yr now and so far no Fleas or bugs ! |
Maybe I should be using Frontline...the vet gave me a couple of really small tubes of Advantage because Diamond is so small. It takes about 2 mins. to put it on her. I haven't had any problems so far. She does itch and rub her body against anything she can but that is usually when we come back inside from being out and I think it's because the harness gets to her sometimes. |

I don't know about the advantix but I have been using advantage for years now and have never had a single flea or any flea problems. I heard that advantix was dangerous because of an ingredient it has permethrin(sp?) which is dangerous and hartz uses the same ingredient, but I don't know if that is true.:confused: |
The only difference is the price . |
We use Advantage. I know it doesn't prevent ticks so I wanted to switch to Frontline, but Advantage has a dose for dogs under 10 lbs and Frontline's smallest is for under 25 lbs (I think). I thought that might be too strong for Oliver (he's 3 lbs). |
