Our Favorite... Ticks! [Advice PLEASE!!!]

I use Frontline Plus.

Also beware: there is a huge controversy re Promeris going on just now. It seems a rather new product with unexpected side effects.

Frontline plus and not Top Spot?

How much would you say the M size Promeris would cost? Can't really find any info online since it's sold exclusively through a vet.

The Top Spot doesn't have the flea growth regulator and the PLUS one does, other than that the ingredients/usefulness is the same.

Promeris should cost about the same or just a bit less than Frontline PLUS. And yes it's sold only through vets. Anyone selling it online gets it pulled as soon as the manufacturer finds it and traces the hidden bar codes back to find the crappy vet/rep that diverted shipments to online places which is illegal to do. When the rep or supplier is caught they get fired, if it's a vet they get ALL Fort Dodge products pulled from their hospitals and cannot put in any orders for more ever.

I use Frontline Plus.

Also beware: there is a huge controversy re Promeris going on just now. It seems a rather new product with unexpected side effects.

The link Freedom refers to I posted a lengthy response to, it is well worth the read.

In addition to that response, we have since had 2 "reactions" in the last week. In BOTH cases the owners admitted to not applying the product as directed and the dogs licked the product causing the "reaction" as per the package insert warning. We still highly recommend using Promeris and have been taking additional time with each client to make them fully aware of how to properly apply it. We've not had any "reactions" with the ones that follow the instructions correctly.

As far as promeris goes there is a spoof email circulating that I found on snopes.com (and was posted here too if I recall correctly) and was passed as being false.

For the time being are there any shampoos you would recommend using until I can make it to the store tomorrow?
