| Frontline Quit Working? Has anyone else had this problem? I treated the girls regularly and on September 13 treated. They had fleas and flea dirt on September 30. We have been using this product for years with no problems. My vet switched them to Revolution because the medicine was different and they could be treated two weeks later. I am hoping this works. Thanks for any input.

| Frontline Plus had not worked for Bentley either. I had switched to Advantage II for flea and tick protection. I usually stop treatment in the winter thinking the ticks were not around and found one on Bentley last winter as it had been very mild here in upstate ny. I will treat all year round now.

| Frontline Plus stopped working for us a few years ago. I tried Advantage on Teddy, but he had a reaction to it and I had to wash it off right away. We have been winging it since then. Teddy has had a couple fleas each summer. I need to find something for him because he is highly allergic. I'm nervous about trying other preventatives on him though.

| Were all of you splitting the Frontline dose/vial? I'm thinking about giving it one more try and putting more on Teddy than I had in the past. Fleas don't bother with Max for some reason. They only like Teddy.

| I just had this very convo with my vet on Friday . I have used nexguard on my little Spicey since I got her ,almost 2 yrs ago. Due to my sweet Sugar being diabetic I couldnt use it on her so I used frontline. When cancer took my Sugar last week I had 2 vials of Frontline left , the vet told me to go ahead and use them on Spice . I asked if I should use the whole vial and she said yes yes yes. BUT my Spice does weigh 7 lbs. |

| Wookie and our three cats are on Advantage. Frontline stopped being effective a while ago. A chain of pet stores here offers a system whereby you make a payment every month via direct debit, and every month you get the new treatment through the post. It works very well. The Advantage arrives, I treat them. No having to remember when I did it last! |

| I was not even splitting it but giving the girls each a full dose. I guess they became immune to the product.
