Sentinel vs Interceptor

[QueenB]

Which one is "better"? We just moved and I am anticipating a bad season of ticks (already pulled a few of the kids and animals), fleas, and mosquitos. I have three dogs so I am trying to go the most cost savvy way. I have compared prices of Interceptor and Frontline Plus vs Sentinel on its own. I know Sentinel is expensive, however is it better than the other two combined? I am taking two of the three to the vet today, just wanted an idea before I go in and there and ask the doc 80 billion questions....Thanks for any guidance

Sentinel is HW meds that has a flea control..Frontline does nothing for HW...Interceptor is HW only.

"Interceptor and Frontline Plus vs Sentinel on its own", not to be a p.i.t.a, but thats why I stated this...

Sentinel gets my vote. We've used it for years and have had great results.

the vets were i go doesn't carry sentinel they only do frontline and interceptor so I will stick with that even though i already pulled 6 ticks off of bruno this year and she is a p.i.t.a to get things off of as she tries to bite you and growl at you as you try to do it to her.

Our dogs have always been on Interceptor. We love it, never tried anything else. They also get Advantage for fleas. We used Frontline (or frontline plus?) last year and didn't get good results.

I use Promeris, it is the cheapest as just as effective as the others. But my babies spend almost all of their time inside.

i like interceptor for heartworm and advantix for fleas and ticks,
the only reason i dont use sentenial is that its just way to expensive,
i use advantix becasue it also gets the biting flies and mosquitoes, because were by standing water and that leads to heartworms with the mosquitoes,

excuse the spelling, nursing major headache
