The advantage that I used at one time was not waterproof, maybe that was the problem. We use advantage on the cats because they never get ticks, works great on them for fleas Sheila

So when we moved to the beach and the fleas were year round and constant problem, did that with my 14 lb shih tzu and 4.5 lb Tinkerbell, get the smallest amount and put most on Precious and just a dab on Tinkerbell of the Frontline. Bought it at Petco, but it was so exspensive, found it on line almost $20 cheaper, of course there is shipping, but next time will order on line. Frontline lasts better through baths than advantage did, and the dogs seem to take it well, no ill effects. Phylis ps. Am into natural things and think I have tried every natural flea remedy out there from homeopath to oils etc...but feel it is more dangerous to chance the disease carrying fleas and ticks, than it is to use the kind of thing. Shih tzu are very sensitive to fleas and have had real problems there, with them ending up with skin problems and so on, that I wished I had chanced the Frontline. ----- Original Message ----- From: eridanusdesign@ <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> aol.com To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ups.com Sent: Saturday, April 14, 2007 4:28 PM Subject: Re: [Chihuahuas] Fleas So Marsha your saying its cool to divide the frontline pack? It says its for a 22 lb dog so should I divide by 3 since he's only a 7 lb boy? gosh this stuff scares me too but fleas ARE horrible!!!! and hard t get rid of.
