| Frontline Plus Does anybody use Frontline Plus on a monthly basis? Or what others do you use for fleas and ticks, instead? |

| I use Frontline Plus on my yorkie and my Pom. They both have flea allergies and the Frontline has not let me down. I get it on line. I buy the larger dog size and have a kit that lets me use the correct dose on them. Much more affordable this way. |

| Honestly, I haven't put anything on Jackson in a few months. It seems like every time I do, is when I start seeing ticks! I swear the ticks around here are attracted to the stuff... lol Frontline became useless for us - I would find ticks on him all the time. When we do use it, we use K9 Advantix. Seems to work better. But I haven't seen a tick all summer and the last time I applied Advantix was back in June. And he's always outdoors, and in long grass, and wooded areas, etc... I just do it on a case-by-case basis. I mean, if I start seeing a lot of ticks around, I will give him a dose, but we don't do it every 30 days by any means. The only thing I'm a stickler about is the heartworm meds monthly.

| Deuce had intestinal problems with Ivermectin, Frontline, and Frontline Plus. We're trying Revolution now. The last time he had a little throw up the morning after but nothing more. That's progress. Fleas and ticks appear to be under control. We'll see how this goes.

| I use Frontline Plus on Columbo & have for the last couple years. Didn't need anything for years and then all of a sudden the tick population exploded, so I started using it. Sams Club definitely has the best price. About $38 for a 3 pack. I also find Columbo only needs a treatment about every other month. I have seen ticks on him at around the 7 or 8 week mark, so I don't go beyond that. Fleas have never been a problem for us. He is 8 lbs. |

| We use Frontline Plus monthly on our cockapoos and it's worked great for a long time -- they are now 11 and 13 yrs old. Will be using on our new pup when we get him, too. Our daughters also use it monthly for their yorkie-mixes and have no problems, either. Good luck. |

| I split 2 Frontline Plus between the 4 Yorkies...every 2 mos... I have been dividing it that way, as advised by my vets, for the past 12 yrs with no problems.
