   Hi Janis... I can't say about frontline. I do know that I have read    
   elsewhere, maybe even in the doghouse fido echo, that Frontline did not work,    
   even according to some vets.   
      
   I can say, not from any previous knowledge, only the advice of my Vet, that I    
   have used Advantix for a long time and never have had any problems    
   whatsoever.   
      
   My concern is the cost for this and the heartworm meds, which I hear some    
   people are skeptical of. I dunno if it is all bogus or not. I do know that my    
   vet did pull a fast one on me with the two pups ( now actually 3 yrs ). When    
   I brought them in for their first puppy exam they day after I got them. I had    
   to sign papers, one of the papers was in essence a document which declared    
   that I would medicate my dogs for fleas/tics and a heartworm medication.    
   Thats cool, thats what I would normally do. Upon a closer look it was a    
   declaration of doing that, but the fine print said that the meds "had" bought    
   on a monthly basis "from the vet". It is like a guaranteed income every month    
   for the animal hospital. I don't like that, but will admit that my vet will    
   go out of her way to supply the meds in a manner in which I get a reduced    
   price, like buy 3 months worth and get one free. If it is too pricey for that    
   month, she will put the meds under one dogs name and that way I get 4 doses,    
   so it is two months dose for each dog, instead of having to by 3 months for    
   each dog to get the 4th free. It can really help as these can be expensive to    
   buy multiple months at a time. At least for me. 8) So I appreciate her    
   helping out, I just did not appreciate her locking me into having to do it,    
   although I doubt they would take anyone to court over it.    
      
   Hope advantix work for You. Isn't there like an advantix II, a new version    
   out not too?
