rschultz Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 I usually don't give Lexie frontline plus in the winter but she is going to be boarded for a week and will be playing with other dogs. She of course is on her heartworm ,but should i give the frontline? Can she get ticks or fleas in the winter?

RobinM Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 We only front line in the summer too, but I would ask the kennel you are boarding her at if they are known to have ticks/fleas. If you are nervous about it, I'd do it since it is no big deal.

Guest mcsheltie Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Anytime I go anywhere there are other dogs I put flea stuff on. I would for sure do it if I boarded them. I have had people coming to look at kittens bring fleas into the house... in the winter! I was so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mountain4greys Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Frontline in the summer to, but if going to a kennel, I would probably Frontline just to be sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest eaglflyt Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 I would definitely Frontline Plus. It's much easier to prevent than treat a flea or tick problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendie Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 I would probably do a one time winter dose of Frontline Plus in this situation. Better safe than sorry!

Guest spider9174 Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 absolutely. You never know what she'll be exposed to at a boarding facility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hlpnhounds Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Our hospital requires that all pets have frontline placed in addition to having a bordatella booster within 2 weeks prior to boarding. Of course, the Frontline is on the honor system as clients apply that themselves but if the staff sees fleas on the pet, it will be given Capstar and Frontline to prevent the spread of fleas to other boarders. It's all in the fine print Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
