What is best for ticks and fleas on an animal2007-11-25 2:51:47

I have tried everything that I can think of to get rid of the ticks and fleas on my dogs.

Answers:

Frontline Plus is THE BEST!!

frontline. Put one drop on their skin, and they are good for a month. Also, fleas and ticks die when they try to take a bite.

I don't know if you have tried this but a good two pronged approach would be Sentinel (stops hatching of eggs) and Frontline. Frontline chemically will kill the fleas and ticks while Sentinel (prescription from vet) will stop the flea cycle at a blood level by inhibiting the fleas DNA from the blood they suck. If the adults can't produce eggs you have the battle half won.

Bathing them up to their necks in water will kill a few of them too (I'm sure you have already tried this one).

Definitely Frontline from the vet. It's around $13 and it works great! Don't trust the crap you can buy from regular stores. They're just Frontline-wanna-be's, and flea collars don't work.

If your dog is old enough then use frontline after bathing it in flea and tick shampoo. If you don't want to go out of your way use Antibacterial soap on the dog. It has a chemical that kills lipids (which flea eggs are made of).

Dawn dish soap works great, but so dose flee and tick shampoos. i found that out because my chihuahua is allergic to almost all of the flee and tick collars and soaps and the stuff you put on their backs.
