Advice for fleas:(

So Juneaux is outside about 80% of the time, but we started to bring her in for the evening. We used to have her on Frontline, and when we first got her had even treated the yard with Adams Yard Spray. She was off of Frontline for maybe 2 months, and we noticed she was getting fleas, I'm guessing maybe because of the warm temps. down here, so I bought her K-9 Advantix, but she still has fleas!

I'm definitely not a fan of having fleas in the house, especially with a toddler and another due soon, but I don't know what else to put on her. We were even using Sentry Natural Defense for additional protection. I hate the thought of her having fleas:(

What's the best flea med. out there? Any suggestions of what we should/could be doing? We're getting our new puppy in a couple of weeks, or so, and don't want some kind of flea outbreak!!!

Comment by Juneaux and Maximus on February 21, 2009 at 2:15am: i know juneaux used to scratch around her neck with her collar, and it did end up being that, at least at that point. once we took it off her she was good. if he's scratching anywhere else it could be hot spots, but i think your vet could've caught that

Comment by Spartan on February 21, 2009 at 2:05am: Spartan has been scratching and when I took him to the vet she said he had no fleas. Anyone know what this could be from? My vet said it was from his collar cuz he wasn't use to it but realizing now i don't think it is from that.

Comment by Geri & Sidney on February 21, 2009 at 12:40am: Frontline failed us miserable this past summer too. We went back to Advantage and ... NO FLEAS!

Comment by Juneaux and Maximus on February 21, 2009 at 12:35am: i think i read that the dogs just have to be 14 wks. frontline was NOT doing it for us, and neither is K9 Advantix! so disappointing for the money spent! im hoping to make a trip to the vet tuesday to get Comfortis too--seems to be an A+++++ product:)

Comment by Jacki, Nutmeg & Cinnamon on February 21, 2009 at 12:26am: THANK YOU!!! Frontline is for crap as far as we (Nutmeg and I) are concerned! I am a maniac about cleaning, I get my yard and house treated monthly, and she still gets them! I spent $80.00 and terrible results from Frontline. I will be on the phone with my vet on Monday to get her on Comfortis. My neighbor who has 2 Shelties swears by it. Does her age matter?

Comment by Juneaux and Maximus on February 20, 2009 at 11:53pm: do i have to purchase it at the vet--im sure i could find it cheaper online. can i just get the prescription from our vet without having to buy it there?
