| Not a pill Revolution is not a pill but administered to the back of their necks like Frontline. Yes, it is necessary to have your dog checked for heartworm prior to giving it to them, but my vet only charges $15 for the test, which I have done every 18 months just to be careful. We have had a lot of rain here in so called sunny CA and have had more standing water, so between heartworms and west nile, I want to be extra careful. |

| Fleas, Ticks and other nuisances My vet recommended Frontline Plus and I have never seen a flea or tick on either dog. That works for me. I do have to give Heartguard too but it's no big deal, they will eat it without a problem. |

| My vet has always recommended Revolution for Baby. She has been on it since she was about 12 wks old. I think it saves on cost because it does everything; including heartworms! |

| If you are asking about Inseptor pills, they are from the vet, and I honestly don't remember the cost, but it wasn't outlandish. It prevents all but tape worms. It is a tiny pill that Jack eats without fuss. I use Frontline Plus drops.

| My vet suggested I use Advantix for JPop.....that's the one with the cute puppy at camp in the commercial. It guards against fleas, ticks and misquitos, and he gets heartguard every month. So far so good, even tho, I do occassionaly find a tick. By the way, I'm in hot, humid Louisiana. |

| I use K9 Advantix. I used to use Frontline but the vet switched when we got Riley. They both seem to work wonderfully. I have also heard great things about Revolution, and BAD things about Hartz products. I don't know if this part is true, but I heard Hartz products can cause brain damage. Even if that isn't true, I have heard that they can be very dangerous all together! |
