My vet switched over to Vectra 3d also and I won't use it. I'm sticking with Frontline Plus. Vectra has a different pesticide in it and it's been known to kill dogs. Check it out on line. The pesticide is called Permethrin. Vet's buy whatever salesmen sell them. I don't believe they know what's in the stuff they recommened. If it weren't for TLC I would be using this stuff. Don't panic just check for yourself and make your own decision. I didn't like what I read about this pesticide. It's much stronger than the other's. |

I returned mine before I used it. If yours is open I don't believe they will allow you to return it. Sorry I didn't get a chance to tell you before you already used it. Don't feel bad because I did the same thing. She gave me such a pep talk regarding this crap I bought it. I posted this new product on YT thinking I found something wonderful and TLC clued me in. So we learn from each other and have to educated our vet's. LOL |

so what should i switch to?? back to K9-advantix or should i try frontline!? |
ok i took it back, but now what should i use? frontline doens't kill ticks and we have them in MO badly, should i use advantix which has that same permethrin stuff or just use frontline and be careful to check her for ticks, we have those dreaded deer ticks around here, the super small ones that carry lyme and she's so dark i can't see her skin everywhere very good!? help me choose a better med please |
if you used advantix on her before go back to that.. I have been using advantix for 2 years and I love it! |
I've never used Advantix and don't know anything about it. I have used Frontline Plus for years with great success. Frontline Plus does kill ticks, regular Frontline does not. I believe it's the most widely used product on the market. If you decide to use Frontline Plus, you should know that the smallest dose available is for dogs UP TO 22 pounds. Since Sadie is much smaller than that, I'd suggest you apply only 1/3 to 1/2 of the applicator contents each treatment. Refrigerate what's left and use it on her next treatment. This is more economical and helps prevent giving too much at once. My vet recommended this method years ago and I've since noticed many YT'rs do the same thing. |
flea & tick I'm just wondering if it is absolutely necessary to use flea/tick meds for a Yorkie. They are so small and almost never outside and if they are kept clean why use them. I don't want to use anything on my Yorkie he doesn't really need. |
