| I have used frontline plus for years on my dogs and cats. I have had no problem with fleas or ticks. This part of Texas has fleas and ticks so bad that I have to spray the kids and spouse before they come in the house from the woods or pond.

| I use K-9 Advantix. I've never had a problem and I have used it for a long time. It depends on the environment in which you live. I never have any problems with fleas or ticks getting on mine, but someone else in a different part of the US might. I really like it. So...good luck.

| I meant to add that the mosquito protection was a plus for us in choosing this product.

You are asking very good questions. I wish that I had thought to ask questions before trying BioSpot. We use Frontline Plus. Just remember, like the other flea & tick control applications. They don't stop the fleas & ticks from getting on them. They make it so that the fleas & ticks die if they get on them.

| I ordered 6 months worth of Frontline Plus, which I plan to split between my two, since I don't think either of them needs as much pesticide on them as a 22 lb. dog. Check out dog.com for good deals on this and other flea meds-it's cheaper than ANYWHERE else online that I found.

| One of my Yorkies had a really bad reaction to Bio-Spot. She lost hair, wouldn't eat and itched like crazy. I will never buy that again. I had to take her to the vet and they put a steroid cream on the bare spot and put her on meds. So, saving money buying Bio Spot cost me over $80.00 in vet bills. |

| we use frontline but i really don't like that neither - frontline/frontline plus - kill or repel mosquitoes which is something we really need here in the south this time of the year! the only products that say they do are: bio spot (already knew to stay away from that one!) k9 advantix and sentry pro - this one i have not heard about. i had asked on another thread about the Zema flea and tick drops but no one seems to know anything about this product. i was interested because it has a lower dosage of the chemicals in it.

| We got Advantix for the mosquito protection and then I read that the permethrin in it is a possible carcinogen and could be linked to animal deaths. Ellie's vet also said that Advantix can make your dog feel like it has something crawling on its skin. We won't use that now. Ellie's vet recommends Frontline.

| All flea applications are an insecticide, plain and simple. Since Charlie has had demodex, I apply Revolution and he doesn't seem to have a reaction. However, they will still get fleas on their body and if they scratch, ingest...tapeworm is the outcome. Personally, I believe it is important to check them thoroughly with a flea comb after being outside and daily. When Sophie was a baby, I went overboard with flea stuff and she became ill. Vomited from all of my flea shampoos --- I stopped all flea applications, bathed her weekly. Not sure who is more irked by fleas - the pet owner or the animal. They make me cringe but so do tapeworms.
