What’s the best out there? We’ve been using Advantix and the dogs are still getting fleas a week after treatment.

Trifexis is what I use with my Aussie. Flea and heartworm preventative all at once. He has never had fleas.

Revolution is pretty good. Covers fleas, ticks, ear mites, and worms.

Treat your yard first. I used Sentinel combo and my dogs were still getting fleas only to realize my yard was full of them

I use Trifexis and have never had an issue. Trifexis is a combo of Comfortis and Heartguard, I believe.

Whatever you do, you want something they eat. Not a topical. The meds they eat kill the fleas immediately when they bite. If you give it to an animal that is infested, you can literally see them falling off the same day.

I'm a former Trifexis user. It's an all-in-one, given monthly. However, it can be make your pet ill (vomiting), so it might not be for every dog. I switched to ...

Bravecto. Administer it once every 3 months, although it can probably last a little longer.

Note, you'll have to buy a separate heartworm medicine. I use Heartgard Plus (given monthly).

I buy my pet medicine online through a company out of Australia. It takes about 2.5 weeks to receive once order is placed.

It is about 30 to 40 % less expensive than buying in the states.

Treat your yard with Talstar and you will not have a flee problem again. Been doing this for over 5 years and neighbors both have dogs. Mine does not. All he gets is heart worm pill once a month.

I’ve used revolution on my dog since he was a pup and have never found a flea on him.

Bravecto and Interceptor/heartguard. Never any issues. We live in tick hell at the lake.

Bravecto - it's oral and is supposed to last 3 months, but it lasts 6 months. My dogs are all over the place and I haven't seen a tick or flea since I started using a couple of years ago.

I don't like the flea and heart worm combos. I think it's too much on their systems at one time. I get them the heartworm shot about 1/2 way after the bravecto dose.

My wife was just telling me she ordered a year’s worth of the dog’s meds and my a-hole puckered up when I asked how much she spent. I had her cancel the order once I checked the site you recommended, and literally saved over 50%. Thank you, sir!

You’re welcome. I’ve used Pet-I-Supply for years and have never an issue.

It’s a legitimate operation that operates outside of the United States.

And it saves people like you and me money.
