We just recently switched from Trifexis to Sentinel. I've used Trifexis for a year with no problems, but I started reading a lot of stories about dogs having reactions to it. I don't believe everything I read on the internet, but it was enough to make me think twice. Then I discovered Sentinel, which is manufactured by the same company who made Interceptor (which we loved!). Sentinel also protects against heart worms, fleas, and 3 types of intestinal parasites, and is also almost half the price of Trifexis. Not to mention the vet tech told me it was her favorite product, and that they hear of way less reactions to Sentinel then Trifexis. I was sold!

I thought perhaps I didn't feed him enough before and have not had any more problems. Then after reading reports about dogs dying from it last month when I went to the vet to pick up the meds I told them (didn't ask) that Riley was switching to Revolution and they just did it. Said they hadn't heard of any problems with Trifexis. Now I am worried about the Revolution. Is it safe?
You try to do the right thing but it is hard when you don't know what is right.

Bella uses Revolution and hasn't had any problems with it at all. Also, I haven't read anything bad about Revolution--I just checked and found plenty of horror stories about Trifexis, including recent news reports, but nothing bad about Revolution.
