Has anybody else been having problems with frontline this year?

Question

it has always worked for my dogs but this summer it hasn't been doing a very good job. is anybody else having problems with it and does anybody know if they changed anything about frontline?

Answer 1

Actually, yes. It made all THREE of my dogs break out, and six of my rescues had skin issues after being treated with it.

Had it of just been Max, I wouldn't have thought very much about it because he has sensitive skin, but my dogs' backs are red and irritated where it was applied.

I'm not sure if I was given a bad batch or what, but it took me a week to wash it all off them, now they are using the frontline spray that was manufactured last year.  

Answer 2

Yes it's not working for my pets. I can't keep the fleas off my dogs and cats. I'm not talking a flea or two my dogs have loads of fleas. I come to the conclusion that the fleas have become immune to the topical flea treatment. I had a company come out to take care of my home and yard he told me something very interesting that the more you use a chemical the more the fleas will build a tolerance to that chemical. He said you need to switch it up he told me this is why they switch up there chemical base all the time.. So I'm going back to the old school way before there was any topical flea product.. No more advantage or frontline I'm done with it.

Answer 3

I use Frontline & have used it on all 5 dogs.

They're all saying "Ain't no bugs on me".

Seriously, it has worked as well for them as it always has.
