only thing to watch out for is you can't use this product if you have cats because it is toxic to cats. Otherwise I would totally be using it too instead of Frontline. Wish they would tweak the formula a little more to make it safe for cats so we cat owners had more than one option for tick prevention.

i have two cats so i called the company when i first bought it becasue i didnt know it was toxic to cats at the time and my husband threw away the receipt. they said as long as they dont groom each other or play for about 2-3days then they would be ok

Yep, what we do is lock the cat away for an hour or so after we apply it, then just keep an eye on them.  Since our cat does not groom the dogs, it's not a problem.  If she did groom them actively, I'd probably switch.  Advantix seems better for ticks than Frontline.

I agree it's a product that works well.  We've never had a flea.  It's important to us that Advantix kills them instantly, since we don't want to have to treat our indoor-only cat for fleas at all if we can help it.  I saw one flea once when we picked Jack up from a boarding facility;  it walked across his ear, then jumped off and left.

the thing with our cats is they LOVE to play with teddy. i mean they run and leap on to his back so he will play with them and the funny part is the cats chase teddy half the time!  my cat,jango, always starts the fights and wants teddy to chase him when hes done chasing teddy lol yoda likes to play but not as much as jango
