[nagdu] Flea/tic preventatives?

[Nicole Torcolini]

Interesting. I stick with the comfortus. I do not really like the type that
you have to apply directly to the skin of the dog. The only problem that I
have had with comfortus is that it occasionally makes Lexia sick to her
stomach, but I reduce the chances of that by giving her pepcid when I give
her comfortus and not doing any high level activities afterwards.

Hi Daryl,
I live in New Orleans which is basically, the swamp.  ideally I would like
to use natural methods but unless you want to spend hours a day, picking
fleas, and dealing with the yard, then we give flea preventive. Heart Worm
preventive too.  
My dogs take ivermectin which is meant for livestock. This is because I have
several dogs and it's cheaper plus the beef flavored stuff is lost on my
dogs who hate it.  
As for flea preventive, I rotate, one month I use frontline, the next
advantage, and the next comfortus so my dogs never get the same thing,
thereby hoping to not make the fleas resistent to any drug.  Sometimes I
give the same kind 2 months in a row, but not usually.  
Good luck!
