PetArmor Plus?

[Roxyluvsme13]

It's a new flea product that's out that is supposed to be the generic of Frontline Plus.

Just wondering if anyone had tried it/had anything to say about it.

I'm always weary of over the counter flea medicine, but my mom called me and said she saw this one on a commercial being recommended by a vet. If it's as good as Frontline plus, it would be worth a shot and it's half the price... However, I'm not going to use it unless I know more about it.

Any information from anyone?

ETA: It has the same ingredients as Frontline Plus also.

I saw an ad for it on t.v. too, and was wondering about it. At half price, it would be a good deal if it works!

Sold at Walmart and Sam's Club --?? Makes me skeptical.

I did a Google search, saw many many forums where folks are asking about it, did not see anyone posting who either had used it, or had (yet) asked their vet about it. Lots intend to ask their vet.

It is a new product; I would rather wait and see how others react to it.

I saw 1 person speculate that patents on meds expire and that is when generics come out on the market. But that person said s/he didn't know if this applied in this case.

Be very careful...these Frontline imitations may use the same ingredients but the concentrations are not the same. Many pets have already become ill from these new imitation products and they haven't been out very long.

Exactly what I was thinking.

Yeah, I did a little bit of googling also and found some of these same things. A lot of sites said that the patent for Frontline Plus has expired and that was why they released PetArmor.

One site said that they use the exact same amounts of all the things in it, so it should have the same effect.

I might try it and see how it goes, if it works fine on Lily's sensitive skin then there shouldn't be much of a problem with it, I'm still a bit skeptical though.

One of the lists I'm on had a big discussion about Frontline Plus; Seems there were ALOT of issues caused by it, anything from severe allergic reaction to seizures. Alot of the same people had no issues with regular Frontline, but many people also found it didn't work.
So anything with the same ingredients would be too scary for me. Myself, I don't use any chemicals on my dogs.

We've used Frontline Plus before and haven't had any issues with it on Lily or Tallulah; however, I read a lot of issues coming up with Frontline Plus when I was trying to find info about PetArmor.

How do you not use anything? Do you not have a flea problem or do you have some other method to control it??? I would be happy not using anything, but the girls always get fleas really bad :/
