    I use Trifexis, it's a combo of their heartworm preventative, kills and protects against fleas/ticks, it also treats and protects against hookworm, roundworm and whipworm infections. Neither K9 advantix nor Frontline protect against heartworms/hook or round worms. Since your dog is an outside dog, you may want to look into switching to trifexis. Or at least make sure you give some kind of heartworm preventative. Keep in mind Trifexis is through a prescription only so you'll need to visit a vet.
     
  3. my dog isn't an outside dog she is an inside dog, we only put her outside for play and in the kennel for a few hours of the day if we have to leave the house or something she used to be an outside dog but we switched her to indoor dog,

    oh ok, well regardless heartworm preventative is a must. The Trifexis just makes all packaged together in an oral tablet given once monthly. But you can read about it online, i believe you can find some comparisons. I've always used Trifexis since it became available and i've never had any issues.
     
  5. The vet my dog goes to doesn't sell trifexis we asked one time because we used to use it then my mom wanted to change vets to one that does Free office calls and only charges for medication and tests, What is your opinion on heartguard they have that 6 month supply for $40

    Pet Armor is a throw off of frontline and it beats the brakes off Frontline as far as fleas...I don't have ticks hardly so can't say how it works on ticks.
     
  7. we got frontline because we can use our pet credit card at the vet office, we get 1 tube per dog for 20 each

    I love the trifexis, except my oldest developed an allergy to it.
    All my dogs wear a tick collar in addition as the ticks here are crazy.

    Also, if you are using Trifexis I used to get the 110Lbs+ pill cost the same as the other Lbs increments where I live. This way you can use 1 tablet for up to 3 dogs or 2 at least and save some $$.

    Vicki I don't know why vets continue to promote Frontline .The vet down the road from me is guilty of this also. Truth is the shit is useless ! and expensive also.Until they change some ingredients it will remain useless ! Their is far better products out there at a cheaper price that works.

    Frontline & frontline plus are different. But honestly, my dogs dont have fleas & I dont use flea control. Im guessing cuz I keep up with yard maintanence....

    Its all about location. One yard is terrible in summer with fleas, another 38 miles away has no problem with fleas

    I've never saw a flea here on the yard but I surely use preventative measures to keep them away, yard and dogs both. I don't use either of these products so I have no vote this topic.

    I don't have no problems treeez but where I live u for sure have to stay on top of it...and see my dogs go in the woods from time to time so I have to use something on them..Pet Armor has worked good for me.
