    That's pretty interesting.. Kai has only ever gotten fleas when he was fed kibble.

    My boys aren't on anything at the moment. Fleas aren't bad around here so I don't use any preventative. If they get it, I'll put them on Advantage for a month or two until the fleas clear up.

    The dogs use Frontline Plus once every 3 months for fleas, and heartgaurd every month for heartworm preventative.

    Frontline Plus for fleas and liquid Ivermectin for heartworm.
    I used to use Revolution, but have found this way to be much cheaper!

    I have my dogs on Frontline Plus but since I don't have any cats I'm thinking of switching to K9 Advantix. Ticks and fleas are pretty bad in my area, especially this year for some reason. I use Interceptor for heartworm prevention.
