| Best Flea Medication? Please help Hey Everyone! Since my little one reacts very badly to flea bites I thought I would get the opinion of the people who REALLY know: what's the best flea medication out there? We have been using Advantage, but it seems to wear off by the end of the month. Any other suggestions? Also-- where do you order yours from? An online service like pedmeds.com or from the vet or from a pet store? Thank you so much!

I have heard people here say Advantage is the best and others say Frontline is the best. I think it is all a matter of preference. If Advantage isn't working for you, then try Frontline. I get all my petmeds at the vet. I tried getting them at a discount from an online petmeds site, but when I used them, it was obvious that the medications were counterfeit. Never again will I use an online petmeds site. I would hate to get counterfeit heartworm meds and my pups end up with heartworms. I only trust my vet now. | |

I use Frontline Plus. My vet said they had a lot of complaints on advantage. One dose of Frontline usually does it for the entire summer. | |

| I use Advantage but Chachi was on revolution when he had mites and I like it the best because it also has the heartworm prevention. I get mine from my vet and off of ebay

| Ive been using Advantix for my cat and two dogs...not one flea, when spring gets here I will switch to the K9Advantix which kill fleas and ticKs. IF YOU BATH WITH ANYTHING OTHER THAN BABY SHAMPOO IT WILL WASH AWAY THE ADVANTIX/ADVANTAGE. |

| The first time I bought Advantage-(my son had brought home a stray kitten covered in fleas). So my yorkie got fleas too. Bathed him, put Advantage on him, wa la-no fleas, about 3 weeks later FLEAS..went back to Petsmart-told them it didnt last and they said you can only use BABY SHAMPOO or it will wash off-They even have sign posted on their counter that says it-BATH ONLY W/BABY SHAMPOO IF USING ADVANTAGE. Now thats all I bath with and it always works. I like the fact the "K9"Advantix kill TICKS too for spring/summer. |
