Frontline obviously doesn't agree with her. I've heard horror stories about Advantix. I would put her on Revolution. Do you have a flea problem in your area? If there are no fleas in your area, you could take her off the topical stuff and just put her on Sentinel, which kills live fleas, but not flea eggs. But if you don't have a flea problem, then Sentinel would suffice.

Ive never seen fleas ... my concern is mosquitos and ticks! They are HORRIBLE in my area! I think I'll talk to my vet and see what she says. It might be time for a checkup visit anyways... my boys have not been to the vet since December.

Should you use Advantix if you also have a cat in the house? I've know it's only made for dogs...maybe should use something else?

If you are really worried about ticks, you can get this new collar called the Preventick collar. Vets sell it. It is the absolute BEST thing for preventing ticks and it lasts 3 months. It's best for households with only one dog bc you don't want other animals chewing on the collar.

Hhhhmmm I have 2 boys, and they chew things off each other! One had to wear an eCollar one time because he had razor burner that got infected from the groomers... and the other chewed it off of him... i came home from work to bits of plastic all over the place! And my bigger guys chews his own harnesses off himself. Ive lost about 4 that way! I wonder if they would chew the collar though... it probably does not taste very yummy at all.

If they chew things off each other, then I wouldn't risk it.
