Hi Janis... I can't say about frontline. I do know that I have read 
elsewhere, maybe even in the doghouse fido echo, that Frontline did not work, 
even according to some vets.

I can say, not from any previous knowledge, only the advice of my Vet, that I 
have used Advantix for a long time and never have had any problems 
whatsoever.

My concern is the cost for this and the heartworm meds, which I hear some 
people are skeptical of. I dunno if it is all bogus or not. I do know that my 
vet did pull a fast one on me with the two pups ( now actually 3 yrs ). When 
I brought them in for their first puppy exam they day after I got them. I had 
to sign papers, one of the papers was in essence a document which declared 
that I would medicate my dogs for fleas/tics and a heartworm medication. 
Thats cool, thats what I would normally do. Upon a closer look it was a 
declaration of doing that, but the fine print said that the meds "had" bought 
on a monthly basis "from the vet". It is like a guaranteed income every month 
for the animal hospital. I don't like that, but will admit that my vet will 
go out of her way to supply the meds in a manner in which I get a reduced 
price, like buy 3 months worth and get one free. If it is too pricey for that 
month, she will put the meds under one dogs name and that way I get 4 doses, 
so it is two months dose for each dog, instead of having to by 3 months for 
each dog to get the 4th free. It can really help as these can be expensive to 
buy multiple months at a time. At least for me. 8) So I appreciate her 
helping out, I just did not appreciate her locking me into having to do it, 
although I doubt they would take anyone to court over it. 

Hope advantix work for You. Isn't there like an advantix II, a new version 
out not too?
