Giggles to the lifestyle!! I did ask my own Vet about the merits of Frontline
and Advocate, they said I could have Advocate if I wanted it, that they used
all sorts of livestock control. I asked about lungworm, they told me its more
prevalent int he south though there are pockets of it elsewhere, but here in
the east there havent been any cases of it, that they'd heard of. So said
Frontline was fine. Also they said if Wren doesnt eat slugs and snails (perisht
he thought!) then she should be fine on Frontline. So there you go. I did ask!!

Julia,
from what I've heard on this list and elsewhere, it seems to depend on where
you live wherther you'd use Fontline or Advocate for flea treatment. Presumably
if you don't have lungworm in your area, Frontline would be OK. Or, as my vet
put it, "It depends on the dog's lifestyle!. My dog has a life-style????!
That's more than I've got!
Vince.

Giggles to the garlic, yes I've heard that one too, but some dogs wont eat
it as I've tried it. And yes, I've heard Frontline isnt supposed to be much
good now but I've quizzed my Vets about it and they maintain its fine.
Well,
Wren hasnt had fleas to my knowledge, oh, my daughter picked one off her
nose once but then I promptly dumped the frontline on her. She was due
anyway.
