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). |
I have been using Frontline Plus this year - so far, so good. Sweetie weighs six lbs. - Frontline Plus for 1to 22 lbs. I usually only use 1/2 of the dose & save the rest for the next time in a pill bottle, capped. We've seen ticks this year alot on us, but Sweetie hasn't had any, thankfully. Hope this helps...... When we got Sweetie she only weighed 2.5 lbs. and we used the regular Frontline on her. But I know how it is to worry you are going to hurt your baby with chemicals. Good Luck. Cyndi & Sweetie:) :animal-pa |
When we 1st brought Teddy home @ 6 weeks old, he was "ATE" up with fleas I couldn't get them off of him...So the very next morning I took him to the Vet and he gave us advantage, it worked like a dream!! He was up & playing in no time!! I never do anything for fleas with my babies...I don't have to they never get any...Maybe it's because we have our yard sprayed by professional every few months??? Maybe they kill the fleas out??? And we live in town.
