We use advantix and haven't had a issue with our two dogs.

and the mosquitos. I think it must be from all the rain we've had. I have two cats and use advantix. no flea problems. Frontline made my one cat sick.

its because of the rain, we use revolution!
Revolution for Dogs and Cats - Flea and Heartworm Control - 1800PetMeds

it works fantastic but u have to have a a prescription from ur vet because its also hearworm prevention! i use it since about 2 years and even in tn we never had problems and fleas are a big deal there!!!!!!

Frontline

is useless. A lot of vets have stopped selling it because the fleas seem to be able to get around it. I use Advantix on my dog, and Advantage on my kitties. Its the only thing that works now.

We've used Front Line for about as long as it was out on the Market. It worked wonders until this year. Vet switched the Dog to Vectra 3 D, and the Cats to Revolution. So far, so good. The Vet said something like, "The Fleas are developing an Immunity to the old Flea RX" Yes..the fleas are SO bad this year.

Well, I guess that'll explain why my 3 Labs have them. Just put Frontline on them mid Sept. Will using a flea shampoo over dose them with anything? They are starting to give themselves sores from scratching and biting.

dawn ( yes the dish soap ) is better than flea shampoo

We, surprisingly, haven't had an issue this year. And we added two more dogs. And we have been using Frontline, but perhaps we should switch. Although I think the dogs are about due for some more.

Dawn Dish Liquid is fantastic! My Vet told me about it when Meat Ball had Fleas while switching from Front-Line to Vetra 3 D. It does kill them, but can get re-infested quickly. Once the Vectra kicked in, she's been Flea-Free.
