    Well i use Advantage, for all my four kitties, so far no problems, all is well, and if anyone would be bitten here , it would be me, and i am fine.,maybe look into changing to advantage multi or resolution.

    It seems here I have to switch back and forth between Frontline and Advantage. If I use one for more than a couple months, the fleas/ticks become immune to it or something.

    Her last bath was probably over three weeks ago and I was planning to give her one next week, so the area has not gotten wet. Thankfully she gets the Lyme vaccine each year so she should be OK. The vet said Frontline should always be backed up with the vaccine so I am glad I always get that done. This stuff is not cheap and it makes me mad that it didn't work. Of course the idea that ticks get a free ride into my house makes me mad too.

    Kay, does Advantage kill ticks too? They are a problem here since I have woods behind my house.

    Ack, unfortunately, it does not. It slipped my mind, sorry. I've yet to ever find a tick on one of my dogs, so I've never had to research tick preventatives.

    Luckily, so far this year, I haven't had to use Frontline OR Advantage on my dogs - I've yet to find a single flea!

    Me too with mine. I even use bio spot sometimes. Good for mosquitos too.

    I found a flea on kaysha yesterday! She got a flea bath, as well as the other 2 AND they have had frontline on time. With the other 2 being in the fields hunting we get nervous they will bring ticks in. It didnt work for the flea! Just one, but we all know what just 1 can mean.
    Hopefully everything is ok!

    I changed my Dad's cat from Advantage to Frontline this summer and I noticed last week she had a few fleas. I hadn't missed a dose and her next one wasn't due for a couple of weeks. I am not impressed with Frontline. I'll be switching her back to Advantage even though it doesn't kill ticks.

    Yikes! I know you freaked out, Pam!
    Thankfully, I've never found a tick on Mz Logan (I use Advantage), nor any other pest, so I thank my lucky stars. It's all I need right now.

    I would write to the company. Honestly, that stuff is so expensive, it's ridiculous. I'd demand an explanation.
