    ORIGINAL: calliecritturs

    Bobsk8 -- sorry, you're wrong.  Frontline stays on top of the skin in the hair follicles and skin pores and kills fleas ON CONTACT.  It is not absorbed into the skin -- that's Revolution or Biospot.  And no, you don't want to use those on a flea allergic dog.  It's pointless -- the 'allergen' is in the flea's spit.

    Frontline and Advantage/Advantix both stay on the skin and aren't absorbed into the bloodstream (they aren't systemic). 


    Well I got some bad info from the Vt tech apparently.  I called frontline, and you are correct...

    Bobsk8e -- I'm so glad you found that out -- man, the wrong info can cross wires SO badly.  There are few enough things out there that aren't systemic.  Thanks not only for checking thru, but reporting back!! RAH!!  You rock!

    Thanks everyone for your help. Im going to look into buying frontline because we do have cats in the house. And i really cant use a flea bomb because of the cats in and out of the house (kitty door) and we have one cat that is not aloud outside. I have wood flooring throughout my entire home, so i will be buying raid to scrub baseboards and floors. Thanks again, Wish me luck![:)]
