Thread: Front line doesn't always work!

All types of Frontline kills fleas & ticks although it is effective against fleas for longer than it is ticks so you have to use it more reguarly if faced with ticks,a problem most of our pampered darlings don't have to worry about,the combo part puts the fleas on the pill as well so the idea being that they can't produce while dying off...thats the theory but didn't work full stop on mine,I had never ever had a flea problem with my dogs,domestic cats that used to roam or these spoilt darlings,I used Frontline every six weeks but because they were going into a cattery I put the combo on them after four weeks & done them as a precaution four weeks again after that,when I first noticed a couple of them having a bit of a scratch I didn't bother about it for a couple of days then I noticed a flea on the face of one,panic,a couple of hours on & over a 100 very live fleas later the fleas were not the only ones jumping,two of my cats had to go & have injs.to settle them down as they had reacted so badly,I changed to Stronghold & everything has been fine since,wouldn't want to go through that again.
