I am glad that happens for you but I just think you are lucky. I remember when my aunt lived in So Florida and griped all the time about her animals and the fleas. And I live in Ga and flea combing the dogs won't get rid of the fleas. Also the reason we use the Frontline is also for the ticks. All you have to do is walk outside to get one on you. We lived in a heavily wooded area and use to have to sit every night and pull at least 20 off our dogs. Sheila

My 3# yorkie was immune compromised so the vets down here felt that he shouldn't be on the meds. Neither of my 4# or 7# pups use it. I flea comb on a regular basis.
