| I used advantage the first month of the summer and it lasted three weeks instead of four so the vet recommended trying frontline. Well, I had to reapply frontline after three weeks too so we tried frontline twice but the second time still had a bad time with fleas. So this time I used advantage again - she's had two baths since I applied it a little over a week ago and swam in the lake and still no fleas. I think I'm just going to have to apply every three weeks because fleas are so bad in this area. I also didn't like that frontline left her hair sticky for a few days..it was gross. The advantage dries fast and you can't even tell it was applied.
