True, but somehow it seems to control the flea populations sufficiently that way so the fleas disappear. I am not sure why. I think maybe the adults, by the time they bite, don't live much longer. Michelle   In a message dated 6/2/2006 4:38:17 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wr

I use program and so does my sister, although I use the liquid and put it in their food. We have not had any problems. There is also an injection also that some vets carry, I think it's suppose to last about 6 months, never tried it though. -- Belinda happiness is being owned by cats ...

Program, a pill that is a flea birth control hormone, seems to work well, and I feel like it is safer than the chemical topical applications (not sure if that is true or not).  I don't use it with mine, but I don't use anything for fleas at this point. If they get them, I would use that befo

As long there is a dog in the home and it goes outside there will be fleas around. If it isn't treated for fleas the fleas are going to jump on the kitty. Then you know for obvious reasons. Us humans can carry fleas into our homes as well. Especially when around a lot of sand and dirt.   In a

HI Phaewryn, My mom did have to do some digging around in her fur to find the flea dirt. Mattie is a shih tzu with long, long hair. My dad checked Mattie over and never found fleas. Very strange. I read just yesterday that if we had gotten a sample of the flea dirt, we could have put it o

Pam, using Revolution and Frontline together (even if not dosed at the same time) is going to overdose your pets, and could kill them. I think your vet is wrong to advise this schedule. You shouldn't use one until the other has completely worn off (no coverage over-lap allowed). I called 1-800-pe

I would treat them all if they have been exposed to the dog which is known to have fleas. Frontline is a good choice. I would NOT use Revolution in a immune compromised cat. I assume by black nits you mean the black flecks you see in/on the coat, also sometimes called "flea dirt". It's actually

Lance, I just wanted to let you know that I never use the full amount of Advantage that they recommend. When the fleas are at their worst, I just use a dab of the stuff and only re-apply if I see a flea on someone, (not just automatically every month). I do usually dose everyone in the house

One of our dogs has the tell-tale little black "nits" in the fur on her neck that indicate fleas are incoming. We're going to treat her tomorrow with Frontline. My father is convinced that none of the other animals should be treated if they "don't have fleas." My Ember is FeLV+, and while s
