Houndtime Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 I am wondering, too.

GeorgeofNE Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Never heard of it. It must be new. However, there seems to be some belief that greyhounds can't use the same flea and tick stuff that other dogs can, and as far as I know from the vets on this board and others, that's just not the case. Of course SOME greyhounds are sensitive to SOME medications; but that's the same for all breeds. Quote Susan, Hamish, Mister Bigglesworth and Nikita Stanislav.

cleptogrey Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Customer service seems to feel that there shouldn't be any problems. I spoke to them before I left for texas. I ended up using Frontline plus and 2 groomings with regular Frontline when I found some fleas. The only problem the new product can only be returned if purchased from a vet. But who pays retail prices for supplies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course SOME greyhounds are sensitive to SOME medications; but that's the same for all breeds. That's really nice to know. one of the adoption kennels I spoke with (ended up finding a better match at a nearby kennel) told me in my interview that you cannot use any other flea collar besides Seresto, nothing other than Frontline and absolutely no flea and tick prevention shampoo or flea dips at the groomer! I usually try to buy what the vet has on sale, or I did before getting Molly but I was nervous to do anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karen_giddings Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 does anyone have any more info on the frontline gold? i have used frontline plus on my kids with no problems. but just saw she gave us the gold this time. i'm hesitant to use - especially on my 13 year old. my other two are 11 - so not thrilled about using it on them either! thanks!

NeylasMom Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 (edited) This article seems somewhat biased and I'm in no way agreeing with their recommendation to use natural products only, but this gives some info about the chemical that makes Frontline Gold different than Frontline Plus: http://healthypets.mercola.com/sites/healthypets/archive/2011/03/03/toxic-and-unsafe-flea-and-tick-repellants-for-pets.aspx It looks like Advantix has already been using the additional ingredient so my guess is its as "safe" as any of these other chemicals. We've never had issues with fleas so I wouldn't use Gold and suggest for anyone who just needs tick protection that you don't either. For those that really struggle with fleas, may be this is an improvement. My totally uneducated input.

cleptogrey Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 well, i just applied to as per instructions today. " start and the shoulders and apply down the back ending at the base of the tail" with a greyhound i made it 2/3rd of the way down the back and with their short hair i have a greasy stripe! i'll let you know if i see a difference between this and the frontline plus.

Houndtime Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 One of my greys could not use Advantix. He flipped out and was rubbing his back against the wall. I am very cautious now. If that make the difference between Frontline and Frontline Gold, I won't be switchng.

cleptogrey Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 just spoke to customer service at FL, the new instructions are to spot it between the shoulders as with the older products. i guess other people were complaining about the greasy stripe down their dog's back. felix seems the same, i'll let you know if he gets any weirder than he already is!

cleptogrey Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 he seems fine, brushed him out. watching to see if this is more effective, it's more $$$. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seeh2o Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Cleptogrey, I'm considering Frontline Gold. Our new place is like a park, so lots of critters bringing in critters, lots of fleas, lots of mosquitoes, and I am assuming ticks as well.
