Advantage vs. frontline
Q: I have a 5 yr old 15lb pomeranian who stays indoors 99% of the time. i usually give her a bath weekly and take her to the groomer once a month. (my groomer has always bragged that she never has fleas) i have kept advantage on her since she was a puppy. i have never had a problem with fleas or ticks. now this past week since we have had a few days of cool weather she has suddenly gotten eat up with fleas. i heard that frontline plus was better than advantage so i purchased some frontline plus and put on her after a good bath with flea shampoo friday. we have drenched our yards in both liquid and granual pest control (flea, ticks, ants, etc..) products two days in a row now, and this morning my pom. has more fleas than she ever has. she it totally covered as if i have not put anything on her at all. does the front line take longer to work? should i go back to the advantage? i'm running out of solutions, please help.i'm sure they (fleas) have to be in my house too. i have a 18 month old in the house with asthma and have to be careful with pestiscides that are used indoors. what should i do, will this frontline start killing these fleas soon?
A: Frontline is 100% effective in killing fleas within 18 hours of application. what you may be noticing are either fleas from eggs that were laid before the application of the frontline or because of the hyperstimulation of fleas as the product kills them, there may be the appearance of more fleas.

Ferrets and cats
Q: I have 2 ferrets and 2 cats, all of which are inside pets, and have fleas. if i were to choose between frontline and advantage, which on would be better, or should i choose 1 for the cats and the other for the ferrets?
A: I only use pyethrin sprays on ferrets or pyethrin shampoos as i dont believe advantage or front line is labelled for use in this species. either product is fine for dog or cat

Q: If i buy by hw prevention from you guys - who pays for treatment if my dog still gets heartworm disease. my friend bought sentinal from you guys and novartis says that they won't pay for the treatment because you guys get your meds illegaly. so who is going to pay for this dogs treatment? do you back to product or does the manufacturer?

Comparison chart of flea & tick meds
Q: Checking your comparison chart, it seems that frontline plus offers the most protection - more than frontline top spot. however, when i entered my dogs' pounds (2 dachshunds - 9 and 13 lbs) my choices did not include frontline plus, only frontline top spot. is frontline plus not offered for this weight dog?
A: Frontline plus has a product for 11 to 22 lbs. the frontline topspot has a product for 2 to 22 lbs.
