Love the safety profile of Sentinel too!

But HG is still a great drug.

I think Ry will be switched to Sentinel soon. I like it. And then if you need to apply FL it can be the regular and doesn't need to be the Plus.

Yes exactly why I want to get away from HG... More importantly, can't wait to dump that revolution which I've never trusted.

OK, call me dense..........my vet just prescribed Heartguard Plus for heartworm and hookworms and K9 Advantix II for fleas and ticks. Am I doubling up on something? I thought HG was for the worms and Advantix II is for fleas and ticks.

I also received a brochure from HG that recommends using Frontline Plus with the HG for fleas and ticks.

What am I missing?

Nothing. You aren't missing anything.

Seriously! HG vs. Semtinel...meh. But if I had to use Rev I'd personally have my nails chewed down to nubs with worry.

Not a thing. And they arerecommending Frontline because they make it.

Good drug though.

Thanks for reassuring me. The flea/tick/heartworm topic is about as controversial as which food to buy or which shampoo/conditioner to use.
I always enjoy seeing what everyone else is using but it boils down to what works for you and your furbaby.

No we where talking about sentinel and Advantix II. Sentinel has some of the same flea stuff in it that Advantix II has so taking both means your doubling up on one of the poisons. Heart guard has nothing for fleas so your safe.

That's great but doing you own research is also a good thing. If I can plainly see that it is doubling up on something I am not going to do it. I am sure my vet will also let me know that next time I go in to see her. Please keep in mind frontline and Advantix are different and you use frontline so I am sure you know what is safe with what you use.

I used the last of Zhoie's Interceptor last month. I have to admit I'm torn in what to use and scared to try something new on her. We need a dose by the 15 th, so I can't put it off any longer.

I'm going to try Heartgard but I'm not sure if I should go with the Plus or not. My vet has Iverheart on hand but I'm going to go through 800 Pet Meds and they will send a script for my vet to approve, or I think that's how it works. I've called every vets office in town and they all carry the generic brand of Heartgard...geez.

I don't know but I don't want to use the generic, that would really freak me out even more.

I have been researching the meds and of course am very confused. You want to choose the safest stuff since we have to use something. Last year I used Revolution with no problems . My friend has a poodle breeder who uses this med on her dogs. I have looked at the other meds. Some aren't working against the fleas so why bother. My vet recommended Triflexis last year but I was scared to use that. Too many dogs had reactions. I want something safe. I am still wondering and asking around.
