Question about topical flea meds.

[Catlady711]

I have heard a lot about Frontline Plus not working in certain areas anymore... the fleas and such are becoming immune to it. I would check out Comfortis...

We don't carry Comfortis where I work for several reasons...

1) flea has to bite the dog to get the medicine
2) Kills only adult fleas, does nothing for the other lifestages. (adult fleas are only 5% of the flea population, each female flea lays 2,000 eggs in her lifetime)

We are currently carrying Frontline Plus (many people aren't having an issue with it), and Vectra 3D for those that have a greater tick problem or Frontline isn't working. We carry Revolution for the cats.

We give garlic. Just careful about the dose. I believe a 1/4 clove for a 50 lbs dog or so...
