The flea collar? The flea shampoo? Or Frontline Plus...That stuff you put under their coat onto their skin? And can any of these make my dog sick?

Frontline Plus is the best I've had thus far. My dog had a serious case of fleas 3-4 years ago. He had so many biting fleas that he had blood patches left from the millions of fleas. We used flea shampoo and uncountable numbers of fleas applicators until I finally came across Frontline Plus. I think Frontline Plus is your best bet. Plus, it even fights off ticks and mosquitos!

I have used Frontline and Advantage.
Advantage works better and cost less. If you don't have a major flea problem in your area, the Frontline Plus ok. Collars only keep fleas away from the neck, shampoos, depending on brand, is between collars and frontline.

frontline better out of the 3. i have use both frontling and advantage k9 and they have worked the same for me. shampoo works when the baths are given. i never use flea collars because of the toxins can make you and your pet sick.
here are some other tips
LYME or lime can't spell for the yard. After you have treated your yard with flea and tick killer. sprinkle lime in the yard. fleas ticks even snakes don't like lyme. get this at a home and garden center or a feed store
Lavender oil for there beds. just sprinkle a drop and it will keep it out of their beds.
by a bomb and fumagate the house or call an exterminator. you have got to break the flea cycle.
I use frontline or advantage they work about the same for me. it kills the fleas when they bite the dog
FLEA COLLAR VACUMN CLEANER. if you have a cannister vaccumn cleaner put the flea collar in the cannister when you vaccumn them up in the cannister it will kill the fleas instead of them finding a way out. I do not put flea collars on my pets though

Flea collars and flea shampoos don't work very well. The Frontline stuff works great. All of my 3 dogs are on it. None of them have had any problems with it. I highly recommend it.

Collars and shampoos do not keep a dog flea free.
Frontline works and so does Advantage.
Bio Spot is otc, costs less, and works! I've used it for over 10 years on my 3 and all the rescues that I have had.
Any dog can have an allergic reaction to anything. You won't know until you try them.

Front Line Plus - never given to puppies under 3 months old, and must be the dosage must be right. You need a prescription from the Vet, and he/she can give you the right dosage. But it works GREAT on fleas, AND ticks.

Frontline. I use this on my lab and he hasn't had fleas or ticks. Also our vet strongly recommended Frontline.
