Is there any reason to continue frontline with this product or is everything but heartworm covered?

No reason for Frontline, however, heartworm is still necessary. My dogs do so much better on these collars than Frontline. Just a word of advice, if your dogs are close to 15 lbs, get the large size. You can cut any additional off and it adjusts for enough room for the collar to be comfortable.

Once I started using the Seresto I discontinue using frontline. I still check my dog for fleas and ticks after our walks to ensure the product is still effective.

Seresto protects against fleas, ticks and flea eggs, but Frontline also protects against lice, so if you need that protection, it may be better to stick with the Frontline. I would check with my vet before using the products together. Seresto contains the same drugs as those in the Advantix drops, and I would think that there may be some interactions pairing those with the Frontline drops.

I asked this question to the vet that we had taken our border collie to. She said that it is OK to use both as they are different chemicals. You would be getting better coverage and higher quality results. However you may not need both depending the severity of the problem in your area.

I would not continue front line (for fleas and ticks) but you still need heart worm medicine. Heartgard.

I believe it is - the only problem I encountered was an issue with the pump. I'd be interested in knowing what organic product the responder switched to (see July 1 response below) as the Skin Medica product is pretty expensive (even on Amazon) and because of the packaging you can't tell when you're about to run out.

I'm assuming you'll be using this product as a heartworm preventative for your dog(s). Check out this website for the answer to your question: http://drmark1961.hubpages.com/hub/Heartworm-Preventative-for-Your-Dog-for-Less-Than-10-Dollars-a-Year. You won't have to calculate dosage. It's all in a table. You might want to talk to your vet about using this product. You also might want to get your dog tested for heartworms (if you haven't done that already). Hope this helps! You can buy the syringes at Walmart. I had to buy a box of them, but they were only about $12.

I bought 2 of these 4 months ago, I bought 1000 starter red worms and now have enough to start the second farm. I also have chickens and some day when I have extra worms, they may get a snack. I bought the 2 farms for the castings and the worm tea for my vegetables. Last summer a friend gave me some tea when my veggies weren't doing well. My garden thrived on the tea and chickens got fresh veggies. Jr at gameing_nm@yahoo.com

No, this only treats intestinal worms. It does not treat Heart worms. Heart guard taken for an extended period will treat heart worms in most cases, but your vet is best equipped to help your pet.

I would not. Go to Walmart they have a natural flea spray in the pet section (has cloves in it). for $4-5 dollars, it will kill the fleas on contact. This Frontline was a waste of $60. I will never order it again, not what it was 10 years ago.

The two products have totallydifferent ingredients (BFI Powder: boric acid, magnesium carbonate, talc, bismuth formic iodide, bismuth subgallate, zinc phenolsulfonate, potassium alum, thymol, menthol, eucalyptol; Columbia Powder: zinc oxide and phenol). Having said that, and not knowing the purpose that you want it for, I can say that both my wife and I swear by Columbia Antiseptic powder for virtually all our skin problems. It seems to cure allergic reactions, heat rashes, contact dermatitis and other skin problems in just a day or so. The only problem we have with it is that it's rather expensive, and very few people carry it. Thank God, Amazon does.

I purchased this as a de-wormer only. There are other products for the applications you are wanting. Check with your vet.

Please note: Other buyers say they switched to Advantix. My vet was out of Frontline and only had Advantix so I bought it. My Bichon Frise was running around the house and crying all day and night after I applied it. Turned out it gave him a chemical burn, and had to be washed off with Dawn. Be careful when trying something new.

I am not the company, I am just a customer........ and I use it for heartworms in my dogs. Sorry

My understanding is that this for flea an tick only. I give my pups Heartgaurd for heartworms. I would touch base with your vet.

First off, be prepared for a mess. i sprinkled it on using a measuring cup, the longer you leave it on the more effective it is with fleas. make sure you wear a mask when you lay it. it's safe to eat, but not to breath. and frontline, if your pets werent previously on it, takes about 3 months to control an infestation alone. so we did this, combined with lots of vacuming, washing of bedding, and frontline, and we are now flea free. took 3 months for our infestation though. (plus i have tons of this left over for my garden this summer :))

Yes, it does both. I started using it when my dogs had a mild case of fleas, and it killed them. It's important to remember that for flea infestations, often their eggs are in the carpets too, so you'll have to continue using Frontline for a few months before the infestation is completely gone.

I really don't know. But I have been using this brand since OIF 1 and it hasn't failed me yet. I only bought this because my belly just couldn't get any bigger and I had to get a larger size belt (sit ups and cardio wasn't working for me). I'm sure if you contact Spec-Ops they'll be more than happy to answer your question. Please keep us updated when you have the answer.

I have talked with the tech support on the phone and was told that all the formulas are same in terms of active ingredients, they are just labeled differently for different uses. Some people/contexts need specifically labeled products. There are differences in thickness in some of the products. There is the spray which is pure liquid, the hydrogel which is a light gel, the opthalmalgic formula which is extremely thick (and hurts like HECK in the eye, much prefer the hydrogel or liquid for the eye). Those are the ones I know. There is another question here about which formula is best for what, and that is a very valuable discussion, many of the answers contain valuable animal care insights. What I don't know is if the "Hot Spot" formula is the pure liquid or the gel (in terms of getting what they consider to be the best thickness for that use). You could call their Tech Support and ask them-- they were very friendly to me. But yes, the 16oz is the best deal and has the trigger sprayer which is so much easier to operate, especially when your hands are slippery. I also use this product on myself, they make a whole line for human use but it is ALL the same thing.

No, it does not prevent fleas or ticks. It does not prevent anything other than heartworms going untreated. It kills heartworm after the fact IF there are heartworm larvae. If there are not heartworm larvae then it does not matter either way. This is how heartworm preventatives work.
