Hi everyone,
I recently heard some reports about how Frontline Top Spot for fleas and ticks is no longer working for fleas.  Has anyone heard of this problem with this product.

I've been using Frontline for over ten years. Yesterday, while at a dog program at the Naval hospital, someone saw three very much alive fleas on Landon.  I put the Frontline on him on this past Tuesday.  A friend of mine applied Frontline to her dog and later fleas were found on her dog - very much alive fleas.  From what I hear, Frontline still kills ticks but the fleas have become resistant to the product.

My friend's vet no longer uses that product - they are now using something called Comfortis, a flea product that the dog takes in a chewable pill form.  Has anyone heard of Comfortis and if so, how does it work for you.

I need to find something that will kill the fleas as my sister and I are very allergic to flea saliva - We get the "hot spots" instead of the dog!

Lyn and Landon
