I use Comfortis as well, it works great HOWEVER the fleas have to bite the dog in order for it to work. My dog is highly allergic to flea bites, so I’m going to give the Frontline Plus a try. I need to ask the vet if it’s okay to give her while she’s on antibiotics (the flea bites turn into blisters on her). I don’t want to mix the 2 if its not safe. She’s due for her Comfortis pill, but I know it’s not good to combine products, so I wanted to wait till she was due for flea treatment to put the Frontline on her. AND if it doesn’t work then next month I’ll go back to the Comfortis pill. They say its beef flavored, but take a wiff, PEE EWWW! My dog will not eat it like a treat because of the stink! I have to break it into 4 pieces and stick it in moist dog food (those pill pocket treats don’t work, she doesn’t like the taste of them without a pill in it).

It’s worked fine for our German Shepherd (so far). However, like any other med, one never knows how a pet will react to it. My dog had a very bad reaction to Prion. It caused him to seize. Luckily, we discontinued the medication and the problem soon went away …

I don’t know if this will help anyone, but there are a few videos in this article that I found helpful. In particular, the second video explains how the dog and the cat version are made of the same stuff, but the cat version is dosed differently due to a difference in metabolism.

We tried using Frontline for several months consecutively on our dog and cat, and it did not work. Frontline refused to give us a refund for our unused applicators. I know several people who have tried Frontline and say it is no good. One vet in our area has stopped selling it because of so many complaints. Comfortis tablets for dogs work great. During the cooler months we sprinkle a little garlic on the dog’s food and he never has a flea, but we have to give him the tablets during the summer.

My healthy 2 year old male cat had a massive heart attack the day after we applied the proper dose of Frontline to the back of his neck. The vet has not heard of any similar reactions to Frontline. I think that my cat’s death was a lethal reaction to the Frontline medication. Beware of using Frontline if you love your cat.
