I prefer Advantix, but only because our dogs work in a very tick prone area with high incidence of Lyme Disease. Avantix prevents ticks from attaching to the dog in the first place, whereas Frontline only kills after the tick has had a meal.

Are you having problems with Frontline? Random (and entirely useless aside, sorry!), I used to work along the corridor from some of the people who developed it.

I use Frontline Plus and neither dog has ever had a problem with it. I am going to check if I can get Advantix but am not sure if it is available here, although as Frontline seems to be fine I am not sure whether I should, in fact, change it.

Frontline(fipronil) is one of the safest pesticides that actually works!there is a cheaper version now called effipro.

It is non systemic that is partly why it is so safe.

Re dogs n cats not liking it....its the smell ime.
