You don't need a rx for Frontline, but you do for Heart guard, the reason for that is because if your animal has heartworms and you give them the meds it could kill them. It requires a test from the vet in order to give the heart guard. What is Ivermectin? Sheila "Life is what happens when you are busy making plans."

Do you still need a prescription for Frontline, what about the Heartgaurd for heartworms?? I noticed the feed store is carrying it behid a glass case. Have not had time to ask anyone if they requie an Rx. Does anyone use Ivermectin from the feed store for their chihuahua>?? I know some French Bulldog breeders that do. marky marky On 10/29/07, address2000 <address2000@ <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> comcast.net> wrote: There are 2 kinds of Frontline. One is called Top Spot and one is called Plus. The orginal, Top Spot, works for me......the Plus did not work. I have used the Top Spot for many years. I don't use it once a month like it says. I use it maybe every 3 months. Usually in the spring and fall, or if I find fleas in between, which is very seldom. I have 3 chi's and 3 cats, I add the weight of all of them and buy that size. Then I split the same container between them. It's a lot cheaper that way. The vet told me it is the same medicine in the cats as in the dogs. I also buy a years supply at a time through Entirely Pets,on-line. That makes it even cheaper. But, it lasts me longer than 1 year, since I don't use it once a month. Hope this helps. Here's the link for Entirely Pets.....cheaper than 1-800-pet meds, or vets office. http://www.entirely <http://www.entirelypets.com/frontlinedog.html> pets.com/frontlinedog.html Just rember Frontline Top Spot, not Frontline Plus.....they sell both.

I started out with Dawn dish saop which really washes the fleas away. Then I switched to plain dog shampoo with conditioner so it wouldn't dry his skin out too much. On top of that I bought a flea spray at the feed store to spray his bedding and living area after the bath each week. I also spray around our furniture since he lays on it. I used Frontline a month ago and all it seemed to do was keep the fleas away from his head. They all migrated to his bottom area which was so bad for him. He had all these little red bites down there especially his scrotum. I'm trying a new flea medication this month to see if it works better. It's an off brand but I'm hoping it works better. I seen at Walmart an all natural flea medicine made by Sergents called Nature's Secret or something like that. Has anyone heard of it working? If so I might try that nexr month if this doesn't work. Sorry to be so long.
