Revolution Vs. Stronghold?

[denali]

Hi everyone,

I have a question for you all.

Do any of you know of the flea control product 'Stronghold"?

My online supplier said they don't stock revolution but did stock stronghold. They said it was the same thing but cheaper?

The packet is virtually the same, but the only thing that makes me wary is that it is cheaper.

If it were exactly the same why would it be cheaper in cost?

So do any of you have experience with this alternative product.

I think for the time being i will stick to revolution.

I previously used comfortis, but it is not proving effective anymore, so I am trying a different active ingredient to see if that kills the fleas :)

My poor itchy boys. I hope it works!

If you google, it seems to say Stronghold is the UK version of Revolution. I'd be wondering why they have the UK version and not the local version, if they are an Australian store?

How strange.

They are an australian site, but also ship worldwide, so maybe that is the reason.

I will just buy elsewhere to be sure.

They say they are identical, just different brand names, but if they aren't actually based in Australia and are sending from overseas, there could be issues with getting them into the country.

I've shipped flea control from overseas before, never had an issue with it getting through customs

Well i assume so, Considering I have seen fleas on the dogs :)

And the itching stops once the fleas are no longer to be found.

They are both raw fed and haven't had any issues with that so far, so I doubt it's anything but the little buggers!

Fyi. The dates have always been good as well - I initially wondered if short date was why so cheap but not so far.

that's ok.. just there are a lot of itchy dogs where folks don't see the culprits! At least you know who the enemy is :)
