That's a good deal, but even with the $15 rebate (I actually believe it is $25), it still is more expensive than the website I provided earlier.

Either way, you have to do what is best for you and your pet and I can certainly understand and respect that people may prefer to do business within the U.S.A. or at their local vet's office.

When I was breeding dogs I would use ivemectin or however it is spelled. This coupled with treating my yard worked great. I had inside and outside dogs and not one would have a problem with fleas. Very cheap. You can also buy the shots from online. My bet showed me the 7 in 1 he would use. It would come in a quantity of 25. I would still have the vet do the rabies though. shite, the shots I didn't use, I would charge people in the neighborhood a few dollars and do their dogs. This basically made my dogs shots free.

This is what my breeder used. She even showed me where to get it and how to administer the shots.
If you have multiple dogs, this would be the way to go.

I used Adams kinda like advantage but a whole lot cheaper. I get it from Costco for 24.99 and it is a 6 month supply. Works great also.

I treat my yard, but I believe my neighbor behind me doesn't do anything for his two labs and I've experienced flea infiltration in my yard last year for the first time since living here (treating my yard has certainly helped).


What do you use in your yard. TIA

Is this a topical?

If so, I found that most topicals are ineffective. This includes Adams and BioSpot.

My vet matches online prices, but only sells Frontline. We use K9 Advantix II and it's well priced on Amazon.
