flea prevention
Submitted by alisonjmorgan on July 8, 2012 - 11:45pmI had been using Sentinal but it is not availble at this time. It is a combination Flea and Heartworm pill and Matilda never had any side effects from it. I tried a product call Certifect and OMG the stuff smelled so strong that Matilda's eyes started itching. The stuff was oily and ran down her coat. It scared me and I put her in the tub and washed it all off fast. Stupid of me, not to read some reviews first, I trusted the vet's office recommendation. The reviews on Amazon were awful and scared me badly. Now, I'm back to square one. I don't know what to use for flea prevention or Heartworm prevention. What do you use?????

I tried the Certifect as well and it stinks!
What an odor! When I can find it I stick with Advantage. I give Heartguard along with it. I just haven't found anything else that stops the fleas as well as Advantage. You can buy it at most Petsmarts or online.

I use Trifexis. It's a flea/HW/parasite combo pill
but if you live in a "tick zone" you need a back up for that. I have "heard" it works for ticks...but have never had any experience. Farley just eats his up, I have to hide Ida's in peanut butter or she spits it out.
we use Revolution
Not sure if it's a Canadian product but we've had no issues with it. Doesn't smell and doesn't seem to bother Tucker. It's also a heartworm & flea preventative. Good luck!

forgot to say....
it goes on his skin/coat, not a pill. I used to have a dog who seemed to be a magnet for fleas and so I have super flea paranoia.
I think everyone would agree, fleas suck!
