Is your pets flea preventative no longer working?

My dog has been on Frontline for probably a good 6 years. In the past three weeks (4 weeks ago last treatment) I noticed fleas on him when he never had them before with treatment. Guess I will be sprinkling salt all over for the next few days.
UPDATE: The salt in all the carpet and rugs did help out and washing the linen my dog sleeps on every day as well as using Dr GreenPet natural spray and the fleas are way down. But my vet said he cannot understand how so many of his patients this year have had their flea prevention sprays/pills/drops become useless. In fact he is no longer selling any flea prevention.

I have a two year old schnauzer. Used nexgard the entire time. I've never had an issue.

Frontline doesn't work very well.

I've noticed that with our dog. I feel bad for her. I washed her in blue Dawn to kill off some of the adult fleas.

Frontline sucks ball sack. I'm a broke arse college student but I get my dog Trifexis. $26 a month. Works awesome. Every now and then he scratches but the vet said it's a side effect. Checked the little fricker for an hour after he came with me shoot guns in the woods and not a single flea

Spraying my yard every two weeks and Trifexis have and continue to work for me and my dogs.

Use a little Dawn when bathing your dog. No need to waste money on something you already have.

I found a flea and almost od'd my dog on flea medicine. You can actually do that, she had muscle issues for 2 days, but the vet said if it didn't kill her it isn't permanent.

What is preventative? Do you mean preventive?

Our dog had been on K9 Advantix for 9 years. Never had a flea problem until about a month ago. Started seeing fleas on him, gave him more Advantix, flea baths, sprayed the yard twice, vacuumed and washed everything. Fleas still. Vet and 800 Pet Meds said he may have grown immune. Not sure how that works. But switched to Nexgard. He hasn't had a problem since.

Salt??? Won't the dog try to eat the salt? Not a good idea.

A few years ago our dogs were on Frontline and it stopped working. Then they were on Comfortis and now on Trifexis. When I noticed the flea re-infestation on our dogs with Fontline, I was afraid to treat with anything else until time to do so. I dampened a paper towel, applied some Avon Skin So Soft oil on the towel and rubbed it on their bellies. About 15 minutes later there were many many fleas dead in the area. This is the original oil not the newer fragrances.
Adding, not so sure Trifexis is doing a great job either. One of my dogs is chewing and scratching a lot. I think I'll rub a little SSS oil on his belly and see what happens.
