Flea Treatment Control Starts Here!

Frontline Plus for Dogs

Frontline is one of the most popular brands for flea medication on the market today and for good reason.    Frontline will kill almost 100% of fleas and tics within three days of use.   The Medication works using Fipronil which is absorbed into the skin.    Once the Medication is absorbed it will travel to the glands of the animal.   This will cause the drug to be systemic within your pet.  When the fleas come into contact with the drug they will die within 24 hours.    One of the best parts about frontline flea control is that once it is absorbed it will stay in your pets oil glands for 30 days.  It will not wash off or come off on any of your family members hands.   It should be reapplied after 30 days, and is safe for both cats and dogs.     Frontline also has very few side effects, though sometimes it can cause irritaion at the site of application.  If this occurs stop treatment and immediately ask your Vetrinarian for further instructions.    Remember that Frontline comes in a few different weights for animals of all sorts of different sizes, so know your pets weight before purchasing.

Advantage II for Dogs

Advantage is another Popular medication, made by Bayer, the same folks that brought us Aspirin.    Advantage is fantastic at eliminating fleas on dogs and cats.  It comes in different doses depending on your animal.  IT is very Important when using Advantage that you use the correct dosage for you animal.  To much Advantage can cause side effects that can be dangerous for your pet.   It is very important when using advantage that you speak to a veterinarian before deciding on treatment.    Advantage is made with  Imidacloprid, which acts on the fleas nervous system causing death.     The only draw back to Advantage is that  if it does have side effects, which is quite rare, the side effects can be quite dangerous to your pet, especially if the animal is on to high of a dosage.  These problems include respiratory problems, and or rashes.   This medication is considered to be quite safe if used intelligently and correctly.  Advantage Flea Control does not work on Tics!!

K9 Advantix II

Advantix is also a very popular medication for fleas, it also works on tics which is great!  The medication uses Imidacloprid and Permethrin to kill both tics and fleas.  This medication is not systemic, it stays on the skin, so once applied be very careful not to wash it off during bathing.   Also it is imperative much like advantage that the correct dosage is used.   Imidacloprid can have some very dangerous effects if not used correctly.    Advantix works almost exactly like Advantage but be careful,  DO NOT USE ADVANTIX ON CATS!! This medication is very dangerous to felines, and can cause seizures and possibly death.  So dogs only please!!   Also as with anything it is important to consult your vetrinarian before deciding what the best treatment is for your pet.
