| I have heard from SERVERL SEVERAL people on YT that Advantage doesn't work; although I am sure it works for some people. I personally use Frontline for fleas and ticks in combination with Heartguard for heartworms. The Heatguard tastes like a treat so I have no trouble getting mine to eat it. |

| I think it is just a matter of preference. Use one of them and if you don't like it or it doesn't work for you, then try the other one. |

| I have used frontline and liked it. I was just curious because I have seen that a lot of people use advantage. I just wanted to make sure the frontline was ok. Thanks

| I use advantage and it works great for us. I used frontline before and did not like it at all. I think it is all a matter of preference.

| If you're needing flea AND tick coverage then I recommend Frontline Plus. If you only need flea protection then Advantage is ok. I had Reuger on Advantage when I went to my aunt's house this spring. By the time I got home Reuger was covered (and I mean COVERED) in ticks. When I checked on the Advantage it didn't say anything about ticks so I switched to Frontline Plus. It doesn't keep ticks from attaching but it kills them soon after they're attached. I think that either one are ok to use it just depends on what you need. BTW I've never had any problems with fleas with either one of these products.

| I recommened Frontline plus. It repells fleas and ticks. I have never used any other product but for sure Frontline plus works. |

| Buying Frontline plus and heartguard Does anyone know if frontlineplus and heartguard can be purchased at a store? I have checked online and do not see it listed anywhere but from mail order companies. I have always purchased it from my vet and they have gone crazy with pricing there and just wanted to know if anyone knows of a pet store that sells it or if it is only available from a vet or mail order? Thanks for the information. |

| I don't know about the Frontline Plus but in Georgia Heartguard can only be purchased at a vets office. Not sure about the other states!
