Frontline Plus Not Working???? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Infestation is not an issue and the larvae are dead when born from the heart worm meds they are both on. I am going to switch the product and see what happens. Thank you for your input...this site is awesome!!!!

The thing that kills me is that Yorkies tend to have sensitive skin anyway and one bite can last for a week or more. I am having to use itch spray everyday to keep them from getting bad boo boo's. I bought this product from 1-800-PetMeds and purchased one year of it. I hope they take it back. If not, I am going to have to call Merial, the company that makes Frontline. Thank you for your understanding. I live in Florida, the flea capital of the Nation...

No, my very costly one year suppy came from 1-800-PetMeds, but I just opened the new pack. The old pack came from my vet and it wasn't working either.

Interesting fact: The flea actually stays on the pet only 20% of the time. When treating the house, must do it for 3 months consecutively. I heard that all insects eventually become immune to whatever insecticide we are using too. Yuck. I use Frontline too & I'll occasionally see a flea. Yucky.

I use Frontline Plus and thankfully have never had a flea, but I have found a couple of ticks over the years. Still, I think it must be working pretty good.

I am interested in trying the pill next time though as I dislike the oily mess when first applying to their hair.

I have a cat that decided to take a trip in the woods and next thing i no I have fleas on all my yorkies. Frontline was costing me well over $120.00 a month and did nothing for the fleas neither did biospot. I spred Dursban down on my lawn and bombed my house 3 times. Than I decided to use Rotinone an organic insecticide for plants and it is a dust on all my dogs and cats. So far we have been flea free getting ready for another fun filled year of insects and I will not be wasting my money on Frontline. I am worried about giving my breeding dogs pills for fleas.
