| When treating for fleas, your whole house, including all bedding for people and pets, furniture, etc, should be treated, along with your yard, and the pup, at the same time...Please be careful with the chemicals, you use, so as not to get the pup in a toxic environment...Fleas will still get on your pup, even w/topicals, but will die within 24 hrs., I believe...I don't use topicals, as I treat my yard and home, and don't have to treat pups, other than their weekly baths... |

| thank you so much. Bailey needs his rabies shot in a few weeks, I guess that's the best time to give him that as well.

| Please don't give the rabies shot and the flea/tick prevention on the same day. Give it at least a week or two in between so the fragile immune system of your baby can deal better with the poison... |

| We were overwhelmed with fleas earlier this year. Finally got comfortis in additon to Frontline plus. Treated home and yards and for first time EVER we have no fleas on both dogs. It has been such a relief, especially for Isabel as she has a reaction to flea bites. |

| Just a reminder to anyone using Comfortis. It should not be used with ivermection (Heartguard) according to the FDA: COMFORTIS® and ivermectin interaction Safety Warning Notification |

YT 1000 Club Member | Frontline Plus did not work for me either. I started giving Charlie Brewsters Yeast with garlic. I give him 1/2 a pill a day since he is 7 lbs. I also bombed my house for flees, washed his bedding and made sure all the fleas were gone. He has been on Brewsters for about 2 weeks now and I have seen no fleas on him. Fleas are extremly bad this year. |
