    Best Flea Medicine To Use?

    Just wondering what is the best flea medicine to use? I usually go with frontline or advantage, friend of mine said she orders from an online site not sure if I can say it on here (petshed) just wondering if anyone else might order from the same place and is it any good?

    I would be careful as to where you purchase the meds online.  Personally, I don't like the idea of buying any medication (mine or my pets) online.  I personally use Frontline mainly because they can get wet and the medication doesn't wash off.

    I buy Frontline Plus online all the time from Foster & Smith.   They've got the best prices.

    I like Advantix.  I tried Frontline for 4 months and it wasnt working.  One month on Advantix and the fleas were gone, plus it kept the mosquitoes off my dog all summer...

    What's the real difference between advantage and advantix?  Same company, but advantix just has the bonus of mosquito repellant?  Or is advantage not suited for larger animals while advantix is?

    And for comparison, what are you paying for advantix?

    Advantix is that good for a dog who is about 65-70lbs?

    Advantix works on ticks and mosquitoes too.

    i think the advantage and advantix formulas each have a different chemical for killing the fleas.
