This is rather important for the fact Frontline Plus is on the report. The only one I ever hear being used on greys from that list.

 

so will Advatage or Advantix replace Frontline effectively?

Advantage is a fleas-only med. Lots of folks who have no tick problems use it on greys already.

 

Gah. Hoping I don't have to stockpile Frontline. Have never had a whisker of a problem with it.

Have used Advantix for years on my dogs, vet told me it was O.K. for my grey too
