Which do you think is better?
I will be getting a Border Collie Mix.
Answers:
They both work very well against flea and tick control (well, if you're talking about Frontline Plus, not just regular Frontline). For a lot of owners, it's a matter of personal preference or cost issue. Some may feel one works better over the other for their dogs, but both products were designed to have very similar effects.
The most important thing, although not mentioned nearly as often as it needs to be, when deciding whether to apply Frontline Plus or K-9 Advantix on your dog is to consider your dog's contact with cats. If you are also a cat owner, or your dog socializes with cats (neighbor's or friend's, etc), you should definitely stick to Frontline Plus. K-9 Advantix, although used safely on dogs, actually contains a chemical that is harmful to cats. Even getting a small amount of Advantix rubbed off from a dog's coat could be potentially toxic enough of an exposure to kill a cat (depending on the sensitivity of the cat).
So, if your dog cohabitates and/or mingles with cats in any shape, form, or another, do the kitties a favor and make the smart choice of sticking to Frontline Plus. If your dog does not have any contact with cats, then Advantix would be just as equally a good choice for your dog as Frontline Plus. Hope this helps!
I use Frontline and I have used it on dogs in both Fla and Mich.. It does great in both climates.
I think Frontline does a better job.
Advantix also keeps ticks off, Frontline doesn't.
i use k-9 advantix for my puppy
K-9 advantix
i have a border collie and when i lived in California i used advantage then i moved to Washington state and the vet told me to switch to Frontline because it's water proof and we get a lot of rain here,i would recommend that you ask your vet
They both work well. The major difference between the two is that Advantix also repels fleas and ticks, Frontline doesn't repel. Advantix is fairly new on the market, however it is the same medicine that is in Advantage, with an added ingredient to repel. They are both water proof, however when you bathe your dog be sure to use a non-soap, non-detergent shampoo... a soap/detergent shampoo will interfere with the effectiveness of either product.
Also, regular Frontline kills adult fleas only, if you want it to kill eggs too, you need Frontline Plus.
Frontline Plus is probably the best product for fleas and ticks. It takes care of all stages of fleas, Brown Dog Ticks, Lone Star Ticks, Deer Ticks, American Dog Ticks, and chewing lice. It's also waterproof.
Frontline Plus does repel ticks %26 fleas. Frontline is the safest, %26 believe me I have done the research %26 talked with my dogs traditional vet %26 his Integrative vet about this as Sam has a history of seizures. I also researched the products online. I have not had a flea issue till this year, I have always treated the dogs naturally with yeast, garlic, a good diet, exercise %26 grooming. If you have a dog with any type of Collie in it you have to be extremely careful. I have a dear friend who breeds %26 shows Collies %26 she will only use Frontline(fleas%26 ticks) %26 Interceptor for heartworm preventative. She is part of a Collie club %26 she is a professional groomer. My recommendation would be Frontline, for the safety of your pet.
K9 Advantix. It works on my dog, who is a Great dane/ shepherd mix. I don't know about frontline though.
frontline is my opinion
