We have been using Frontline on our dogs and cats for years with great result but for about the last year our poor dog has been scratching herself nuts. We assumed that she had some sort of allergy being that she has always been on Frontline but it turns out that she has fleas as do our three cats. Please help me to get rid of them? I don't know what to do. We took them to the vet to try to find out why and what to do, he gave us more Frontline and some doggy benedryl to try to keep the dog from going completely insane.

"One dog allergic and one dog got Lyme's"
We would not recommend this product. Our collie had a horrible reaction where his head and neck swelled up---it was very scary. The vet said to wash him immediately and thoroughly with Palmolive or other soap used to remove grease/oil, so we could get it out of his pores. The other family dog still had ticks on him and got 2 tick-born illnesses including Lyme's. It may have kept off some ticks, but it is hard to tell at this point. Not many flees in the area to judge in that capacity.
It was not worth using this and exposing the family to a chemical after this experience.

"Great investment!"
I have never dealt with fleas until I took my two cats camping with us last summer. My husband and I believe that is where they picked them up. We didn't catch on right away since both of us work. Finally after dealing with with it for 5 months I called a vet and they recommended Frontline Plus for 6 months use. When we received it in the mail I applied it painlessly to both cats and after a few hours you could see the effects. It was only a couple of days when we really noticed a huge improvement. No more constant itching or biting and more nap time and playing! This product works like a charm and is worth ever penny!
I bought a year supply of this front line for my large dog. She is a pitbull. Well let's just say this my dog still was getting ticks. I live in new jersey so there is more ticks then fleas. Yes it worked for fleas because we don't have many. While on frontline my dog got Lyme disease. I was so upset. This stuff is suppose to help with ticks and my baby now has lyme disease. Let's just say I will never in my life buy this again. I four out she had this when getting the blood test to get the procetive shot for lyme. My next one will be k9 let's hope I don't go through this again.
