IggiePiggie Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 I keep hearing people say things like, frontline is useless etc Which do people think is the best products for worming/fleaing a small dog? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crisovar Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 IMO there is no best, there are different products that work better in different areas and for different circumstances. For instance, in the neighbourhood that I live in, Frontline spot on does nothing for the fleas or the ticks, Frontline Spray works though, Advantage works well for fleas and Preventic Tick collars work really well. Several kms up the road Frontline is effective for the fleas and is working well on brown dog tick (we do not have paralysis tick). I do believe that the fleas and ticks have built up resistance to products that have been in use in some places for a long time. I alternate my wormers for my dogs and my horses for the same reason, I do not use the same product each time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvsdogs Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 I alternate my wormers for my dogs and my horses for the same reason, I do not use the same product each time. Not that I always do that, it is what I've heard you should do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poodle proud Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 I have used sentinel spectrum and interceptor spectrum for worming without an issue. I have used advantix for fleas and ticks but as I posted in another thread my dog had seizures because of the permethrin in it which kills the ticks. Bayer have sent me advantage which is the same but without the permethrin but I havent tried it yet. A little nervous.... I switched to advantix from sentinel (which is an all-wormer and flea treatment) because the way sentinel works is the fleas have to bite the dog before it kills them., Advantix kills the on contact with the dogs skin. So if your dog isnt white and fluffy advantix could be good for you. I dont know about frontline but have also heard several people say its useless.
