Advantage II or Frontline Plus / Your Pick ? - Page 2

Kobster · 06-17-2011, 09:41 PM

I use whatever I can get for free! LOL! I rotate between Frontline and Revolution with advantage if I can get it. I think the advantage works best for fleas, with frontline second. Revolution is the least effective against fleas by far in my experience, but it does all that other stuff. For an outdoor cat, I would use Frontline as ticks can be pretty nasty to deal with. Better safe than sorry. You don't need to worry about product immunity. That only happens in a closed gene pool/pupulations. You aren't going to find that kind of setting in the wilds of West Virginia.
Just my 2 cents.

Frontline - plain Frontline, not Frontline Plus, because as far as I understand, it is the ONLY flea product that is not absorbed systemically into the cat's body, and that's a significant concern of mine.

Frontine. My cats are indoor, but I live in an huge apartment building with carpeting everywhere. In the past few years, they have allowed pets, and we have tons of small to medium sized dogs running around here. I have lived in apartments before where my indoor cat has gotten fleas from similar circumstances.

Revolution for my indoor kitty for the added heartworm protection

Revolution is being used on my two right now.

Frontline here for now. Not to sure if I'll stick with it, as my great aunt has a major flea issue in her house with her cat Middy and the fleas aren't responding to the frontline too well. TBH, I don't want to go over to her house anymore to help with the fleas since I now have Smudge...

Fleas like taking rides on me and family when we leave Aunt Nell's house. Not a problem when we didn't have Smudge. Now it is.

So we're likely going to rotate for awhile with both Middy and Smudge in the hopes that there are few problems.

The vet gave Prince Revolution, I guess now, from reading this thread, it's because of the climate conditions here.

I used advantage about a year ago and it worked well.
Now that its summer again, its major flea activity time and I went to Costco and tried frontline plus. It didn't seem to work very well. Was noticing fleas even 5 days after application.
I ordered advantage from petco online (really cheap) and just recieved it and applied to kitty today. Hope it works like I remember from last year.
