    When I originally replied to this thread I was using Frontline drops. Now I'm using NexGard which is a pill. It works GREAT! It prevents fleas and ticks.
    We had an outbreak of fleas here and this was the only thing that seemed to work. I even got the cats on Comfortis. I think the oral meds work better than topical. At least for me.
    And I need tick protection for when the dogs go out to my moms/brothers houses.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    I have 10 cats and have always used Frontline Plus for fleas and ticks. Works beautifully and have never seen a flea or tick . . . 4 of my cats are outdoors and it is the charm although quite expensive when there are 10 to do every month . . . ugh!

    So far, the Seresto collar is doing what it is supposed to do. I put it on Wolfy in April, and NO fleas or ticks to be found on him. I like this method so much better than the once per month topicals, and I'm glad I decided to give it a try. This collar will carry him thru December, and I probably won't go with a new one till next Spring again, unless the winter is unusually warmer than normal. I would recommend this method of pest control/prevention, 100%.
