What brand of flea preventative/medication do you use? I'm jusr curious... I haven't used anything on Ellie in awhile. She doesn't really get fleas to often. I think I would go the Dawn dish soap route next time and hope to never use an actually preventative again. But for those who need to use them, what one do you use? |
I usually give a tab of brewers yeast with garlic and I use the minksheen shampoo on my babies. |
just ordered frontline yesterday for the coming months. |
We use Revolution on Rudy & Lucky. |
I used Frontline for years, but it stopped working for me this past summer and I had a big problem with fleas. I switched to Advantix (not Advantage - not waterproof) and have stuck with it ever since. |
We use Revolution, as is guards aginst heartworms as well. So far we have been very pleased. |
We've been on the Revolution for puppies/kitties that treats fleas and heartworm and I love it....no reaction and not one flea..but then again I'm a freak about this so we get our yard treated too.:D |
We use Frontline Plus during flea season but I don't keep it on my dogs 365. |
Revolution for me too! |

Someone I know used one of the flea products listed above once on her dog and the dog had an itching and restless reaction to it. The company said give her a bath in Dawn and put vitamin E on her. |
I use Revolution. |
I started with Advantix and still use it to this day with no prob.:thumbup: |
Recently switched to Advantix from Frontline.:) |
It's been months since I've used any flea preventative on Ruby. I did use Revolution and would go back to it, if this summer they start getting fleas. |

I feel very lucky we don't have fleas bad enough around here to have to use anything. Once or twice (over years) I've seen a flea after being outside but used Dawn in the bath and didn't have to apply anything else. I used to use Frontline and would go back to that if forced to. |
I use Frontline Plus. Every 2-3 mos spring-summer-fall. One vial (up to 22lbs) split between the 3 of them. I've been using it that way for 11 yrs, per our vet's instructions, with no flea~tick problems. When we only had our Maltese I used 1/3 vial every 2-3 mos. |

Sentinel is great..it's a tasty little pill(so the shepherd takes it with her food once a month) and it's also for heartworms..I don't like any of the stuff you have to put on their shoulder blades, as they go and roll over as soon as you put it on them, trying to get it off, and makes them look greasy |
Crap...I messed up my vote. I meant to vote Advantage and ProMeris...but Sentinel got selected instead of Advantage. So far I like advantage the best |
I use frontline during the warm months but right now I dont use anything but just to keep any away that might still linger around since Im in the south..I use BioGuard..its a very gentle shampoo that is suppose to get rid of fleas and if your using a preventative...it wont wash it off. So its like extra protection during warm months and a lil protection during the cold. Lol. I give my furbaby a bath once a week...hes a lil boy that by the end of the week I dunno how he does it but he is soo raggedy lookin and def due for a bath. But I use the BioGuard once to twice a month dependin on if there was many warm...er days. Lol |
It is so good to see that people have heard about Hartz and aren't using them!:) It looks like Frontline wins. |
I use revolution (I love it)I am surprised there wasn't a place for it. I also made a mistake and voted for something else I caught it last minute and couldn't go back. |
