   I agree, we use that with SChotze, thanks to Bob turning us   
   onto it here a couple years back.   
   ONly reason I ended up going with something similar to   
   Frontline was because it also takes out whipworms, and we've got whipworms out   
   here in the yard, and treated her for   
   those once.  Hence we use a competitor to FL which doesn't   
   just do ticks and fleas, but also does whipworms and some   
   other parasites.  But, for just tick and flea control we   
   found out MR. Bob's solution works rather well, and saves   
   money.
