Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited.

| Hello guys, my Girl Bella is 2 years old now we previously used frontline for her, but it’s out of stock in Dubai where we live.
I now can only find Advantix or Advocate for sale around here. Which one is recommend..? Obviously she’s on her dewarming tables every 3 month, but now I don’t know how to cover her for fleas tics etc.. |

| I've had decent luck with Advantix in the past. I've not tried Advocate. I'm actually switching to the Seresto collar for this upcoming season. A bit pricey upfront if you can get them, but cheaper in the long run than topicals and it did fantastic for my cat last season during my trial runs with it. _________________ |

| I've used Advantix II It seems to kill just about everything and it kills on contact, which is nice. It says to spread the drops out and to the base of the tail, but I don't go that far down for fear my dog will lick back there and ingest it. IDK has anyone applied it to the base of the tail. I heard they don't like the smell of it? |

There are horror stories for all flea and tick treatments. Though I would have a hard time thinking the collar might could be the culprit behind that. Would be interested to hear if the collar was actually proven. So far my three on the collar have done fine. I'm still deciding if I like it for the dogs. It has worked great on my cat. Seems to work fantastic if you have flea troubles. So far the jury is out on it's effectiveness against ticks. I have seen some ticks on the dogs, though not many. But the ones that have bitten are still alive when I pull them off, though I am likely getting them before the collar has a chance to kill. I may do a more thorough review as the collar ages and I get the fitment right. They seem to want to loosen, or stretch, with time and I wonder if some of its effectiveness goes down when it's sitting looser around their necks. _________________ |

| Jenn, I am certain collar fit is necessary for effectiveness. When I called the company re Ami and wooly coat, they said the collar needed skin contact. There's a controlled release the insecticide which gets taken up by the skin and v distributed in the oil glands. I've heard good things about the Seresto but decided it wasn't an effective choice Ami's coat. |
