My 1 1/2 year old dog has never had fleas, and has been on Advantage (once a month, like clockwork) since he was ten weeks old. A few months ago he spent two weeks at my boyfriend's parents house, and (I'm assuming because they do not regularly treat thier four house dogs) developed a bad case of fleas. How can this happen, or is prescription flea medication just not that effective?
Our vet switched him to Frontline for the past two months, saying that the fleas may have become immune to the Advantage, but that has not worked. I will never take him of the flea meds, but I still need some other treatment. We also spend about a half each day, flea combing him, and have had our apartment treated by a pest control company. Please help. My dog is miserable.
