What is your flea prevention? So I'm coming to the conclusion that Frontline Plus just isn't working. I found TWO fleas :eek: EWWWWWW! So what do you use and how does it work and is it SAFE. Thanks :) |
Uh oh, I've been using Frontline as well. So far, I haven't found any fleas...keeping fingers crossed. |
Well I found the culpret...I've been letting my kitty's go outside. They brought them in!!! But I still need a new product, I think. |
I have been using comfortis for 5 months and it works great!! I just stick it some cheese and she eats it. look up their website there are some precautions but I've never had any problems. fyi I battled fleas for months before (using frontline) I put them on comfortis and havnt seen one yet. I live in south georgia so fleas are year round |
We use nothing.:) Ellie is usually inside, so she doesn't get fleas often. If she did I'd just bathe her in Dawn but I know that sometimes there is no way around using something and in that case I'd try Frontline or Advantage. |
I've used frontline and advantage. They both worked but I think Advantage had less side effects for Otis. |
I use Advantage and I do a flea bath once a week. |

I found 1 flea on Lilly a few weeks ago... UGH! I washed everything, did the carpets and gave her a Comfortis pill. She didn't have any side effects and so far I haven't seen any on her. |
I have used Advantage for a long time, but am going to try something called RediCare. It's all natural and I know a few people who use it with great success. It's not as expensive and worth a try IMO. You can read all about it at Bichon Boutique - Harness Vests, Harness T-Shirts, Proden PlaqueOff, RediCare, MetaCare, MetaClean, Keys Soap, Angels Eyes, Chillybuddy Cooling Vest, Anxiety Wrap, Calming Face Wrap, bellybands, dog panties |
we have always used the Revolution as it has the heartworm and the flea prevention in one dose and i like that it is based on weight. some of the topicals are way too strong. All my girls except Princess are on the 5-10 lbs. dose. Princess is still on the 1-5 lbs dose. We have fleas and mesquitos year round in Texas so this works for us. None of my girls have ever had a reaction to the treatment and have never had a flea. They love being outside so i know they are protected. This reminds me...today is bath day and time for the Revolution since it is Oct. 1. :) |
I have three yorkies and we use two different vets. Emmy and Lucy use Sentinel and I am quite pleased with it. It seems to be working just fine. Alyssa has very sensitive skin. She was miserable each month when I used Frontline Plus on her. She would whine, bite her skin and scratch. Finally, I just quite using anything but Dawn soap. I decided it was too harsh on her skin. When we went to the vet I brought up the subject. She suggested Comfortis. OMG! What a find! It is based on the capstar principle but instead of working for one day to kill the fleas the Comfortis works for a month. It is beef flavored and my Alyssa thinks it is a treat. I don't even have to hide it in chese. She did go over the possibility of side effects but I have been using it here in Georgia for 3 months and so far we have been fine. If she does get fleas while on the Comfortis the vet said we could use the capstar which would kill them. I had to use something different with Alyssa as it was killing me to see her so miserable for 3 or 4 days after the Frontline Plus. |
I use advantix K9 for Duke since May. I recently found bite marks on him and the vet doesn't know what bit him, and we didn't find any ticks or flea on him. So I have no idea if I should stay on it? Also, until what month are we supposed to have them on the prevention? This is Duke and mine first fall together. |
