Terry Devine Webboard User Reg: 03-30-2005 Posts: 240 Loc: Florida Offline	I have been having a little trouble with the advantage flea treatment that I purchased online.

Maggie Baldino Webboard User Reg: 05-20-2002 Posts: 389 Loc: Offline	If you are referring to the treatment not controlling the fleas, than I would advise you to try a different product (ie: Frontline Plus). Fleas can grow resistant with continual use of one pesticide and rotating different pesticides will break the cycle. Frontline uses fipronil, Advantix uses Imidacloprid and Permethrins and Advantage uses just Imidacloprid (which is probably why it does not work on ticks. Most products are proclaimed safe for puppies (don't think any pesticide is *safe*, just choosing the lesser of the two evils), do your research and decide. Maggie

Terry Devine Webboard User Reg: 03-30-2005 Posts: 240 Loc: Florida Offline	it does not seem to last very long. I have tried giving a second dose two weeks later and will see if that works. My main concern was wether the product was being watered down some how. Terry Treat them like they are animals. Train them like they are animals. Love them like they are people.

Mike J Schoonbrood Webboard User Reg: 04-30-2005 Posts: 2784 Loc: Toronto, ON Offline	You do realize that Advantage doesn't work against ticks right? My vet always told me use advantage for fleas and Frontline for fleas AND ticks.

Terry Devine Webboard User Reg: 03-30-2005 Posts: 240 Loc: Florida Offline	I misstated my flea treatment. I am using frontline and have been using ever since I got the dogs. My vet is aware of my using it and asked if I had stoppped when she spotted the ticks. The only change was I bought the treatment on line this time. Sorry about the confusion Terry Treat them like they are animals. Train them like they are animals. Love them like they are people.
