| Does anyone use Frontline Plus? Do you any of you use Frontline Plus for your babies? I bought this today, previously I had used Advantage. Any thoughts? Thanks! |

| I used the Frontline last year because the K9 Advantix was not working. It worked like a charm!

| Please consult with your vet...My vet put frontline on my yorkie, watched him for 2 hours and all seemed well. About a week later he started showing signs of Neuro trouble...leaning to the left, stumbling a little. I got him to neurologist, after testing, he had a reaction to it. We think it was only temporary and he is getting back to normal more everyday. My other 2 yorkies take the pill for flee control and have no symptoms of trouble. He was a ltitle to light for the pill, but I WILL NEVER PUT ANY OTHER MEDS ON HIS SKIN FOR FLEE CONTROL. I know all my friends use it and its fine, so thats not a normal reaction. Just better to be safe ....... |

| I use on all 3 of our dogs, and never a flea problem. They will get ticks, but the ticks die. Every now and then we see a live one, but I think those have really just gotten on them from their walks. But for having 3 dogs, we have never found ticks on all of them at the same time. Just a tick here and there. We live out in the country and we take them for walks and they get into grasses and shrubs in fields or woods. So I say yeah for frontline plus. None of my dogs have ever had a problem. I have a 5 1/2 lbs, a 7 lbs and a 12lbs.

Donating YT 10K Club Member | I also use it, divide the dosages and it's still effective.

| Ok, thanks for everyones input. I am going to try this, fingers crossed for no ill effects. She never had issues with the Advantage, but I know every dog is different. You know I asked the lady at Pet Supermarket which flea control was better and she said what kind of dog, I said Yorkie around 7 lbs. She said is it inside or outside? ummm...inside..lol..I couldnt imagine keeping Roxie outside. She said ok , I would say Frontline Plus..Just wierd that she asked me where a 7 lb dog lived..lol... |

| I use frontline plus, I use to use k9-advantix but then I found a tick on Pixie and in her skin. so I posted a poll and found out that k9-advantix has permathin in it.. So I went to frontline plus and have NOT found any ticks on the dogs also it isn't as oily.

Phantom Queen Morrigan Donating Member | i use half of the smallest dose of frontline on morgan. depending on what type of heartworm pill she's on, she'll use either the plus or the regular. with sentinel she only needs regular frontline, but with interceptor she needs the plus

| I use Frontline Plus. I hate using it actually. My boys are 12lbs and 5 lbs. I split a tube between the 2 of them and do it every 6 weeks or so. This keeps the ticks off (I live in a very tick populated area!). BUT I notice my 5lb boy gets very 'blah' for a day or so afterwards and he usually throws up the next day after I do it. I hate doing this to them and using that stuff. This year I bought them some garlic bagel treats from Solid Gold. This is supposed to help with fleas and ticks and so far, I have not had to use frontline and have not had a tick on them yet, or fleas. Keeping my fingers crossed that this works.
