| If the active ingredient in Frontline is a human carcinogen, what about Advantage? I switched to Frontline because my current vet doesnt' carry Advantage, only Advantix and my dog is allergic to the tic provention in Advantix. If the active ingredient in Frontline is a carcinogen, I will go find Advantage on my own. Does anyone know about the active ingred. in that one.

EXTOXNET PIP - IMIDACLOPRID It looks like fipronil is a possible human carcinogen and Imidacloprid (Advantage) is most likely not. They both can cause side effects though as can anything. Even natural remedies have their share of side effects and these natural products aren't regulated, so in my opinion quite a few of them are very dangerous.

Take it or leave it....I just wanted to update you on some info I found out, and let you know what I've decided to do after digesting this info. Do what is best for you and yours. Bella doesn't go outside too often, and when we do, she is mostly on sidewalks, etc...--she potties on a pad. So, her risk of getting fleas is decreased anyway, however, we will still be able to bring fleas into the home (on our shoes) especially during "flea season", so I'll have to be watching closely then. Also, to mblab.....any areas that you don't get the Frontline spray directly on will still be protected just like the Frontline/Advantage drops protects even though it is only placed between the shoulder blades. It moves around on the skin with the sebaceous oils, and it is more than likely absorbed into the skin as well (just like the drops) . I do think you should wear gloves and be careful to not get it into your pups eyes/nose/etc..., but it will still work effectively if you only get it on her torso. AND, my thinking is, the product has to be a little less harmless if you are only using it on an as needed or seasonal basis instead of keeping it on them year round. Less toxins has to be good.....and I haven't heard of anyone's dog's death being attributed to flea meds in my area (not that I would necessarily, but....), just online, so I can't think it's super common. Just a thought... | ||
