Which is the best flea program?`?

Question

Which one worked best for your pet? Frontline, Advantage or program? I am looking for a treatment for my 2 month old puppy and don't know which one works the best, so far all I can get is advantage.

Answer 1

frontline & advantage are the same thing. WORKS WONDERS! i use it on all my pets!

Answer 2

Of those, I would go with frontline.  My dogs, however, have not been on anything for years.  They all get fed garlic tablets from springtime (springtimeinc.com)  Keeps fleas, ticks, mosquitoes etc off of them.  Works wonderfully, although they do have garlic breath after eating, and my kitchen smells like an italian restaurant at dinner time!

Answer 3

I had to fight the flea fight back in the early 80's when they didnt have frontling and such, this is what I did, try this too.

How I got rid of fleas and bugs from my home

You will need to purchase a simple bug/fly zapper; the type you use on a patio to kill flying insects.  You can buy a small one that will cover a large area of your house at most home improvement stores for as little as 15.00-20.00 dollars.  For faster results you can use one bug zapper for each room.  However the fleas do gravitate to the bug zapper’s light once night sets in and all the lights in your house are out. So one should work for a small home, just make sure to place it in the room where the most fleas are seen or felt.   Place the zapper on the floor in a corner behind a piece of furniture so kids and pets won’t play with or bother it. Set it on a plate or pie tin for easy cleaning up of the zapped bugs, you will be killing all bugs in your home as well, and then plug it in.  Remember, it is a piece of electrical equipment.  You have to use caution in where you put it. At night the fleas automatically want to go to a light, when they hop in to the bug zapper light they get fried! You can actually hear little, zits, zits when the fleas are getting zapped! All GONE! Keep the carpet vacuumed daily until your flea problem is under control, this will help tremendously in getting the fleas eggs out of your home and carpet faster!!  I am not responsible for misuse of the above item.  Use full caution in placing your bug zapper to the safest place.  It will work for months, even years; it will continue to kill bugs in your home as long as the light is on.  The bulb can be replaced once it burns out.  The light bulb can be purchased at most home improvement stores.

Answer 4

for young pets- I use advantage- it is very safe and effective  

Answer 5

Advandix is what i used on my dog and cats. It's the only one that I know will get the job done. Good luck!

Answer 6

I really like Frontline, but Advantix works too.

Answer 7

I use frontline on my 5 month old puppy. It's quite expensive but we havent had a single problem with fleas so far!

Answer 8

Advantix or Frontline plus both work excellent on dogs. I also feed DE (diatomaceous earth FOOD GRADE ONLY) to my dog. It is safe, all natural and it eliminates parasites, worms, etc and when rubbed into the fur twice a week, it prevents/eliminates fleas as well. (You can look up the DE at wolfcreekranch.com.)

I do not recommend using over the counter as they aren't regulated and can cause harm to your puppy. Your vet should also be able to recommend flea and tick meds when you take your puppy for his wellness exam and shots.

Answer 9

well I just have my 4 month puppy on Frontline and she seams GOOD
