Wxm 1,638 Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 Used frontline on my 3 for years and have never had fleas they get done every 12 weeks get mine on line. They've taken an ingredient out, you might find it not so good in future. just out of interest do you know what they have taken out?? and was it because it was harmfull to dogs or just to skimp on cost?? cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Millet 4,497 Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 I have used frontline for year's spray and spot on and my dog's have allway's been flea and tick free..it even worked ok on the ferret's..BUT..i recently done my 4 dog's with frontline spot on and i noticed my pup was scratting and nibbling a week later.. ..so i had to do her again and that stuff is not cheap..from what i have read on here i think i will be going to start using stronghold..

lawrence 657 Posted June 2, 2012 Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 (edited) was recommended a bovine pour on for chickens, don't see why it wouldn't work just as well on dogs, very cheap in comparison to frontline. http://www.hyperdrug.co.uk/Cattle-Wormer-Pour-On/products/445/ Edited June 2, 2012 by lawrence 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SINDASOX 255 Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 I used Frontline spray on my ferrets about a week and a half ago to kill off some tiny tics on them, it done the job, but last night when i was checking them i found more ticks....when i done them they had plenty of the spray put on so surely it should be giving more protection than a week and a half, i was out yesterday, so whether they picked them up from the buries i dont know, it does say it should protect for up to a month.

jasper65 6 Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 this explains why our dogs are stil scratching a few weeks after the wife treated them with frontline, not cheap either... no idea how true this is or if it works as I have never tried it but was told that Garlic mixed into the food keeps the fleas off? I know Garlic has alot of good uses like warding off Vampires and the like Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 I frontlined my terrier 2 weeks ago after removing about 6 ticks and just found one on her again today. Is that advocate spot on any good? Or Bayer advantage? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SINDASOX 255 Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 You can order Advantage online with no prescription mate, but Advocate needs a prescription.....Advocate does worms as well. SINDASOX Quote Link to post Share on other sites
