Advantage Multi! I like being able to prevent fleas, heartworms and intestinal parasites at the same time with one medication. I have also been happy with Revolution in the past, however.

We have always used the Revolution and had excellent results with no issues.

We used to use Frontline, but I felt there was too much in the tube leaving her fur very greasy looking. It also made her act strange whenever I put it on her. This year, we switched to Advantix 2. It's not as greasy, but she still acts strangely for a day or so after I apply it to her.
Anyone else have issues with their Yorkie from these things?

When I used Frontline Plus all my dogs acted "strange" for the first few hours same as with the homeopathic treatment I used previously, Elvis as with most things acted the oddest.

His behavior consisted of hiding crawling low and scurring from place to place in a slightly paniced but not severe state.

I evealuated the behavior because it didbt last beyond the medication drying andwas absent of any slin reaction to be a specific dislike of the treatment itself.

About a year after frobtlibe plus usage Elvis got a lesion and I treated it with triple antibiotic ointment he reacted the same way. I think its the feeling, smell of something weird on them etc...as long as it doesnt last over 24the hours or show any really concerning behavioral reactions or skin hair adverse reaction.

Elvis also acted the same way with any topical aids to pull this brows and nose gairs into a top knot.
