We have tried many products. Our dog is very sensitive. When Interceptor was discontinued we did try Trifexis. Our dog did not do well and threw up about every other month, on the day it was given. He was extremely sensitive to Advantix, trying to bite the spot where it was applied. We had used Frontline in the past but it had been found not to be doing a good job with fleas.
Now we used Sentinel which handles heartworm, parasites and fleas. We do not want to use a tick collar (Seresto) our dog has longer hair and went back to Frontline Plus. Since both address the fleas we give each product 2 weeks apart. These 2 products work well for our sensitive dog.
These products are poisons. That being said, we feel the alternative of not using these products are a bigger risk. We are from the Northeast and Lyme disease is a real issue from ticks. We do always make our divisions based on what we feel is best for our dog. Getting all the facts and making an imformed decision is an owner's responsibility!
