| Flea and Heart worm Advice I need some advice. My yorkie is very small and we are needing a heart worm and flea medication ASAP! My vet suggested Advantage Multi because it comes in a 3-9lb. dosage. My friend gives her yorkies Comfortis, but it is for 5lbs. What would you suggest? We are going to pick it up tomorrow. Thanks!! |

| Interceptor or Sentinel for heartworms (Heartgard is also fine). Frontline, Frontline Plus, or Advantage for fleas (depending on heartworm med chosen).

| Will frontline be okay if she's under 3lbs? |

| Should be although I would hesitate to use the full dose. It's really a call that your vet should make as far as what's safe. Personally not a fan of Advantage Multi or Comfortis (although sometimes Comfortis is the only option).

Right now I am using Sentinel and Frontline Top Spot. Frontline plus is not needed while on sentinel because sentinel has an ingredient that kills flea eggs and larva which is what the "plus" does.
