Zoolady Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 We got a mailer from the vet for $10 off a six month supply. It's a chewable versus a topical that can get "in contact with furniture, clothes, etc." Our initial reaction was no because their body has to process a medicine. On the other hand, their body probably absorbs the topical. We've been using Frontline Plus with no problems. Thoughts please.

Guest freightsmom Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 We live in Central Florida where fleas are a problem year round. On the first visit to our vet with Freight, he recommended Comfortis. Freight has been on it since February and we have not had one flea on him or in the house. Pretty remarkable considering he was in a dog obedience class where several of the people were complaining about fleas with their dogs and we are at the local Petco twice a month at M&G's where all kinds of dogs come in. BTW, it's not cheap! And, I do give it to him at a week after he gets his heart worm med, not at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbhounds Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Just a FYI--Frontline is NOT absorbed systemically--anything given orally will be metabolized. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
