How often do you treat with that? 

As and when mate, last time I used it was September last year when I saw her have a nibble, I’ve not seen a flea on her since I first got her (2014) her skins not the best and I think it was just irritating her, anyway a quick spray and she was fine, she gets a bath about every nine months when she’s finished her heat cycle, best shampoo I’ve found is Beaphar insecticidal dog shampoo, it kills any unwanted nasties on contact and removes any smell of blood from her being on heat, I just leave it on for ten minutes when it’s lathered up before rinsing it off then her coat just shines.

Some brands of flea collars have killed dogs, can be harmful to humans as well

You can get Advantage from pets at home basically same as Advocate except it doesn’t treat lungworm. Atb

Advocate dont treat lung worm ,the vets will say it does and even prescribe it if a dog as lung worm but it don't work the only one I know that works is milbamax and I had a dogvwith lung worm andvvet gave advocate once a week for a month and didn't do anything but milbamax did the job .

Along as dog is registered with the vets you can pop in you don't need to see a vet

If your dog as been seen in last 12 months they can prescribe otherwise your paying 30 quid for nothing and then what ever the wormers cost .

Yes it does but its daily for two weeks and that's a lot of panacur to give a juckel ,I was advised to give milbamax once a week for a month and 3 days of panacur at the start and it cleared him up unlike the 3 vets who said give Advocate as this is the best treatment ,yes best for them as it cost more but doesn't work to kill lungworm its just a preventer if your lucky .

My whippet x lost his fur with frontline so I only use advantage now and drontal and a milbamax once every 3 months and it keeps my lot clean .
