I would be scared to death of using two strong meds like that. Did you ever try the Advantix 11 that too now has the flea growth inhibitor so they can't lay eggs. If you do try it, then I advise to try to find a HW med that doesn't have the same insectides in it. It also wards off fleas and ticks so they don't want to jump on your dog. It has different ingredients then the regular Advantage and the Frontline line. We have fleas here and quite heavily in the heart of the summer. Like I said before I have been using it for years on Princess and never see fleas or tics.

One MinPin person has used DE, Capstar, Comfortis, Advantage, Frontline, generic immocloprid and still FLEAS. We are in Florida and both my vets say it is the worst they have seen.

If problems then you won't know which medicine caused it. Comfortis is a powerful chemical so why use Frontline aso?

I am sure she meant the newer Frontline Tritek but I have the Frontline Plus left so am using that. Question to those who use Comfortis and Heartgard/Ivomec did your vet tell you to use at different times, tell you it doesn't matter as long as Heartgard/Ivomec is not mange dose, or not mention it at all??
