Cheap Frontline Plus for Dogs

You can order Frontline Plus flea treatment with great discounts online, usually offering a far better price than the average veterinary office.  And, since this is one pet product you will be using very regularly, it makes sense to ensure you pay the lowest price possible.

Frontline Plus Best Price

When we carry out our periodic price comparisons, we are often pretty amazed at just how minimal the discounts can be.  Some of the most popular online retailers seem to offer the worst prices.  I guess, if you are such a well known name in the world of pet flea treatments you simply don’t need to be the most competitive when it comes to pricing.

That doesn’t mean we suggest using some fly-by-night retailer you have never heard of either.  But, shopping around is crucial if you want the very best discounts on your most often used products.

We have found that amazon are consistently the best priced source of Frontline Plus (and a few other flea treatments too). Updated – you can view one of our recent searches for the cheapest price for Frontline Plus in a more recent article.

Generic Frontline Plus

One of the benefits of generics is they tend to offer an even greater cost saving, over the original brands.  We have been seeing sales of Fiproguard Plus (a generic version of Frontline Plus, made by Sergeant’s Pet Care Products) slowly growing over recent months.

However, on the whole the prices offered for this particular generic pet medicine were really not that much different from a good low cost source of the branded original.  Generally we didn’t see much point in switching away from the Merial produced original, since the cost savings were so minimal.  However, we now have some rather exciting news, since Sergeant’s Pet Care Products are also producing Pronyl Plus.  This too is a generic version of Frontline Plus.  But, as it is being marketed at grocery stores and other cut price stores, it is being sold at a much lower price than the Fiproguard Plus product which is sold via specialist pet suppliers.

Confused?  Yes, we were a little too.  But if you check the pack details you can see that both varieties of generic Frontline Plus (Pronyl Plus and Fiproguard Plus) contain the same volume of the same active ingredients as the original (fipronil 9.8% and S-methoprene 8.8% for dogs, and fipronil 9.8% and S-methoprene 11.8% for cats).

Basically by choosing the product aimed at more discount stores, you can enjoy the benefits of Frontline Plus, but with a cost saving of around 40%, which is a discount worth actually opting for.

Revolution is fast becoming one of the most popular flea control products for pet owners today.  The reason, is that as well as acting as a simple to use topical treatment to control internal parasites, it also deals with those hard to treat heartworms too.

Revolution for Cats Without Prescription

If you simply want to order Revolution for your cat, without dealing with a veterinary RX click the link above to go to our main site and sales pages.  Here we’ll have a little look at what Revolution does, and how to get it, no prescription needed.

Feline Revolution Parasite Control

Well, Revolution (made by Pfizer) is a topical parasite treatment.  This means you apply a capsule of liquid to the skin of your pet to keep them free from a range of parasites.  Only one ingredient (Selamectin) is used, but it is powerful to act both internally and externally.

Once applied the liquid is absorbed into the blood-stream.  Once there, it safely destroys any larval heartworms found.  This is great news for cat owners, since if left untreated these may form into life threatening adult parasites which cause organ damage, and are impossible to treat safely in our feline pets.   In addition both roundworms and hookworms are removed from the digestive tract.

Selamectin is also transferred over the skin of the animal, via its oil glands.  This gives a flea proof coating that keeps working for 30 days or so.  As well as killing any adult fleas that come into contact with your pet, Revolution prevents flea eggs from hatching, further reducing potential flea infestations in the future.  Alongside flea control, selamectin is also able to deal with ear mite infestations which can otherwise prove difficult to treat, and extremely annoying for your cat.

Revolution and Prescriptions

The quandry concerning heartworm medicines and prescriptions rages on.  In the United States an RX is needed from your vet before purchasing any heartworm preventative.  However, in other regions the laws a little less strict, and those products safely used for some time (like Revolution) can be sourced as over the counter treatments.

For US pet owners to take advantage of the differences in RX regulation it is possible to purchase Revolution (also known as Stronghold) from a pet medicine supplier based in Canada.  The rules, just like those for human medicines are a very gray area.  In theory such imports of prescription medications are illegal, since the goods are not labelled in accordance with FDA regulations as they are sourced outside the US.  But in practice the US customs agency has stated that they will not confiscate such shipments for personal use.  And don’t forget you can still provide a prescription, which would speed up any hold at customs.  Most vets are happy to provide them, and if yours is not you might want to consider a more helpful one!  So, for now at least many American pets benefit from cheap and prescription free heartworm prevention, but of course the situation could change at any time.

The reason the FDA are classifying heartworm preventatives as prescription only products, is that misuse can be dangerous.  You should be clear how to use any heartworm medicine, be sure you have the right dose for your type and size of pet, and know for certain that your

K9 Advantix flea control is produced by Bayer Animal Health.  Whilst some flea treatments are very effective if fleas are your only real concern, Advantix is chosen when the variety of pests causing problems for your dogs is a little wider.

We’ll have a look at exactly what the product does (and the difference between the original formula and Advantix II which is gradually taking over in stores and veterinary suppliers).  If you simply want to buy this flea control head on over to our sales page via the link below:

Advantix Flea Control

First off, what does Advantix do, and why would you choose it rather than the more familar Advantage also produced by Bayer?

Multiple Parasite Control With Advantix

Well, this deals with far more than fleas alone.   As well as being able to destroy certain parasitic pests, it also has a second function; deterring those pests in the first place.  The parasites dealt with by Advantix include:

• Fleas -  These are both destroyed, and deterred from making your dog their home in the first place.
• Ticks – Various ticks including Deer ticks, American dog ticks, Brown dog ticks, and Lone Star ticks are destroyed if attached to your pet when applied, and any new ticks met are also deterred from attaching to your dog.
• Mosquitoes - These can be particularly troublesome in the summer, causing disease and distress.  Advantix will deter mosquitoes from biting, but if they do persevere contact with the medication will destroy them.
• Chewing Lice - These can cause sarcoptic mange and severe skin irritation.  A monthly application of this flea control product will destroy any chewing lice on your dog.
• Biting Flies – These are not killed by the flea control liquid, but they are repelled by it, so your dog should have far fewer flies bothering him.  This is particularly useful if you live in a region where diseases such as Leishmania are spread by biting flies.

Once applied, 98 – 100% of fleas on your pet will be destroyed within 12 hours (and most of them far sooner), making Advantix one of the best ways to deal with large flea infestations.  The flea control ingredient is Imidacloprid, which is the same ingredient Bayer use in their original Advantage flea control formula, which explains why it is so quick to get to work.

If only fleas are a concern, we would still recommend using Advantage, but if the other pests are troublesome for your dog, K9 Advantix will be far more beneficial.

A note on mosquitoes… Even though Advantix is excellent at repelling mosquitoes, its use will not guarantee that your dog is never bitten.  You know how difficult it can be for us to remain unbitten when mosquitoes are particularly active.  So never consider Advantix an alternative to heartworm prevention.  It will reduce the risk of infection, but it cannot guarantee that an infected mosquito won’t bite your pet.

A note on cats… Even though Advantix has proven both safe and effective for treating dogs, it is not suitable for cats.  Felines are unable to metabolise the key ingredient (Permethrin), and so it could be very dangerous for them to be treated with this particular flea treatment.  It is however, safe to use Advantix on dogs, that live in a family which also includes cats.  We advise that owners ensure the flea treatment is dry before cats and dogs mix.  All topical flea treatments are designed to be bitter tasting and so not something most pets will try to lick anyway, but it is of course prudent to keep an eye on your pets until the treatment is dry and safely absorbed to get on with its job of removing unwanted pests.

Advantix or Advantix II

Gradually Bayer are replenishing stocks of their flea and tick control products with new Advantix II.  The difference is that a small amount of one more ingredient has been added to the original formula.  This extra 0.44% of Pyriproxyfen allows the new formula to deal with all fleas, including eggs, larvae, pupae and adult.

This change means that it is far easier to keep the local flea population firmly under control, since there are no juveniles left in the vicinity.  Though it is only the adult fleas that bite, those juveniles can stay dormant for many months waiting for an opportunity to restart the flea population in your home or garden.  Eradicating them along with the biting adults, means the risk of future flea outbreaks is reduced significantly.

Advantix flea control is the ideal choice when ticks, fleas and flying insects are a worry for your dog.
