Can this be used instead of the Frontline Plus for flea/tick protection?

As I understand it, the difference is that the pump spray is applied according to the animal's weight (one pump for five-ten pounds, two pumps for ten-twenty or some such, exact a[pplication rate is listed on the label) and then rubbed in. As opposed to the pipettes that are single doses. Personally I find the pipette easier because I don't wind up engaged in a wrestling match :-)

Yes, but please note # of pumps needed per cat pound. If a grown cat, you'd have to practically soak the cat with 10-15 pumps. I mainly buy it for our shelters's kittens, 1 pump per kitten pound.

Of course, it is practically the same without the "plus", which I guess means that it is stronger than the other, but yes I use it on my fog as a treatment for flea/tick protection

I wouldn't use just that for the protection. It's summer here in Texas and it is the worst time for flea. I use comfortis and haven't see a single flea.

I use an internal flea preventative called Nexguard, so don't have to worry.

I use this for tick protection on my pets. I mix it with essential oils and vinegar. I spray it on my pets every time I take them out. Not sure what you are using it for.

All I know is that w used this product on both our dogs--a German Shorthair Pointer and a German Wirehair Pointer (much more hair, more running the woods time)--and we thought it was helpful. We live in rural WI in an area thick with ticks. At times we used both this product and Frontline. Good luck.

I don't know for sure. I use it on my dog as a natural flea and tick repellent and it works.

We have used it with the Archer Insect Growth Regulator. This combination has worked for us 3 years in a row for flea and tick control. Wish you luck!

Permethrin, acaricide like Bifen will also help control tick population. I am not sure if IGR like Precor will work on ticks but it sure worked on breaking the flea life cycle. For ticks you have to do both chemical and non-chemical methods. Habitat control is very important. Good luck!

No just ticks...I use Advantage and the collar to kill both fleas and ticks

Since this is an "as needed" product and not a medication or treatment, you can use the product as often as daily. Depending upon the amount of flea and tick activity in your area, you may need to combine use of the Natural Flea & Tick Spray with a monthly topical treatment (such as Frontline Plus).

I bought this thinking it would substitute for some flea and tick preventatives on my dog. It doesn't really

This particular collar is for ticks only. We use the Preventic collar for ticks and then we use Advantage 2 (the topical preventative) for fleas. So far we haven't had an incident, the combination has worked great for us.

I am sorry, I don't know. I only use Frontline Plus on my own dogs. This was ordered for a rural animal shelter that can't afford Frontline or Advantix. This is all that they use and if there had been any problems; they would not still be using it.

I don't think so it doesn't even work for fleas. I wouldn't think it works for ticks.

I'll put it to you this way--I'm in WV and the ticks here are hearty little devils used to surviving pretty cold nights. I tired the Seresto on both of my dogs and went back to my previous anti-flea and tick med (Frontline Plus). Although one dog weights 35 lbs and the other weights 100 lbs, both had to use the large dog version. What made it even worse was that after having used the Seresto for 3 weeks and pulling embedded ticks off both my dogs every evening (ewww), I had to go a whole week with NO protection to let the Seresto wear off before I could apply the Frontline. I won't make that mistake again! I'll put it to you this way--I'm in WV and the ticks here are hearty little devils used to surviving pretty cold nights.

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.

I would buy the real product from either petco, petsmart or your vet. My dog had an allergic reaction to this product and he is 20 lbs. My dogs has used Frontline without an issue in the past.

Sorry, but we do not have a problem with ticks, possibly because the dog is in a fenced area and thus deer, who carry lots of ticks, do not stray in our yard; and the dog chases away other critters. It does work very well for fleas, though we have rarely had to deal with that problem because we use a 7 month collar AND monthly Hartz drops which for many years has worked well.
