[Njagdu] flea and tick pill instead of front line?

[Tracy Carcione]

Hi Marion.

How long after taking the pill did your dog have a problem?  Krokus didn’t throw up until 24 hours later, so I tend to think the 2 events aren’t related.

I gave him the heartworm 2 days earlier, and I gave him the flea pill with his dinner.

Tracy,

 

                One of our dogs – surprisingly the lab – seems to have a stomach issue after taking confortis. Our vet advised us to give it to her in two doses and skip a day between flea preventative and heartworm meds.

We gave the boys the Nexguard flea pill the other night, a couple days after the Heartguard pill.  One of the dogs didn’t like it, so my husband cut it into smaller pieces and put it in peanutbutter.  The other dog gobbled up the pill, no problem.  Krokus will eat anything, and I do mean anything.

Krokus was sick the next night, but I don’t think it was related to the pill.

Tracy alluded to, Front Line is not effective here in Florida, so we are Using Confortis. It is very effective and easy to give; however, it doesn't seem to be as palatable as Heart Guard, so we need to poke it down or give it in cheese or some other food. Also, it is a good idea to not give both an oral flea preventative and heart worm meds on the same day. We wait two days to give them the other. HTH!

Does anyone have any information about the flea and tick pill rather than using the front line or any other items used for flea and ticks?  If so what are your comments?  It sounds so much easier to just pop the dog a pill rather than putting the front line on their backs.  Is this a safe alternative for our dogs?

 

Any advice is appreciated!

 

Regards,

Trisha
