Killing fleas on your pets, has never been easier than today with the monthly Spot Applications. They are the NEW method for killing fleas. First: Check to see if your pet has fleas .
Frontline or Advantage. Which one to choose?
FRONTLINE or ADVANTAGE Brand Products are the top recommendations of veterinarians for flea control for dogs and cats. Both can be bought over the counter without a prescription. Both Kill 98-100% of fleas in 12-18 hours after application. Both Frontline or Advantage, should be applied when the Pet is DRY…wait at least 24 hours before or after bathing. Both are water resistant and kills fleas even after shampooing, swimming or exposure to rain or sunlight. Both Advantage and Frontline are easy to use, and keep killing fleas for up to one month. Both Cost Around $30 - $32 for a 3 month supply. Check for sales, as this is an on going treatment to prevent and control flea infestation for your pet.
There are a couple of Differences:
Frontline: Kills fleas and Kills 100% of all ticks within 48 hours. It’s effective against all stages of the brown dog tick, the American dog tick, the lone star tick and the deer tick (the major carrier of Lyme disease). Frontline contains an insect growth regulator, S-methoprene, which kills flea eggs and larvae. Some sensitive pets may experience some temporary irritation at the site of application. If signs persist or become more severe within a few days of application, consult your veterinarian immediately.
How to use: Cut the tip off the tube, place the applicator tip through the animal's hair to the skin level between the shoulder blades. Apply the entire contents of the applicator in a single spot to the animal's skin. Use only one applicator per treatment.
Advantage: Only kills fleas, does NOT kill ticks. Stops fleas from biting your pet in 3-5 minutes providing fast relief and is considered one of the more gentle, yet most effective flea preventatives. Contains Imidacloprid and starts to kill adult fleas within an hour after application. Individual sensitivities, while rare, may occur after using any pesticide product for pets. If signs persist, or become more severe, consult a veterinarian immediately.
How to use: Cut the tip off the tube, place the applicator tip through the animal's hair to the skin level between the shoulder blades. On cats, apply to skin on neck at the base of the skull. For dogs up to 20 lbs, apply to skin on back between the shoulder blades. For dogs 21 lbs or over apply the contents of one tube to 3 or 4 spots along the skin on back from the shoulder to the tail. Do not get this product in the pet's eyes or mouth.

The Video Below Shows HOW to apply Frontline, However the same technique applies to Advantage as well.
ATTENTION Cat Owners: It has been noted recently that some flea medications, flea shampoos and other products have the ingredient --- permethrin. Cats, are exquisitely susceptible to the toxic effects of permethrins. Application of permethrin-based insecticide to a cat will usually result in toxic signs within 6 hours and you should seek a veterinarian immediately. Frontline, Advantage, and Revolution are all safe for cats. There is no mention of problems using medications with permethrin on dogs, however, a highly sensitive dog could have a reaction from mild to severe. If this happens consult a veterinarian.

FLEA COLLARS:
These are a possible weapon against fleas but not all are equal. Many have harsh and potentially dangerous chemicals. Placement around the neck can lead to serious problems of the nervous system if improperly used or mixed with other toxic agents.
SHAMPOOS:
Shampoos kill fleas on contact and give your pet instant relief. Most contain detergent that remove the oil layer that Spot On treatments bond to. It is best to wait 3 days for the oil layer to regenerate before reapplying the Frontline or Advantage.
ESSENTIAL HERBAL OILS:
These are nature's repellants. They ward off unwanted hitchikers. Most common ingredients are
Citronella, Cedar, Eucalyptus Lemongrass, and Lavender. Essential Oils are specially formulated
to repel fleas and ticks without using insecticides. They are GREAT for misting your dog's legs
( and your own ) before going for walks. They are a REPELLANT, not an insecticide and can be
found at most good health food stores.
