Frontline plus vs. k9 advantix?

ok i posted a question not so long ago about my dogs having fleas and ticks. ppl have been telling me to get frontline plus. i did some research and it turn out frontline and k9 advantix are like on a war to see who is better. so what is better?
Answers:
both are effective. i prefer frontline because it does not leave the oily residue on my dogs coat for days after i apply it like advantix. but also advantage is available for dogs as advantage multi where it not only does fleas and ticks, but also heartworms. your dog will need a current negative heartworm test before you can purchase this though. these are way better than the hartz or sargents. they actually work and have minimal side effects. but from my experience both work great, but i have the problem of the oily streak on my dog's coat for up to 5 days after application. pick one, try it, if you don't like it then try the other one the next month. good luck.
k9 advantix
Im a groomer and see tons of pets that use both. Im not sure why but it seems that sometimes 1 works better for some and 1 for others. I say this b/c Ive seen numerous dogs come in w/ fleas or ticks when they are being treated w/ either of the 2 and than they switch and dont have a problem. Ive seen it happen w/ both products but in general they are the best 2 products w/ the best success I see.
this answer is diferent for different ppl but id try k9 first
FrontLine Plus is waterproof. That works good for my dog who is a Spoting dog and is in water a lot.
advantix has been known to cause seizures %26 glaucoma in some dogs
try bio. it works
