[nagdu] Frontline Top Spot

[Julie J]

Linda,

Sorry I know nothing more about either of the products you mentioned.  I 
just wanted to say that I'd be very cautious about giving another flea and 
tick preventative so soon after the last application.  Even though it'd be 
different brands the cumulative effect could make for a sick Landon.

Fleas suck.  I hope you can find something that works.
Julie
