I've never tried Frontline spray before but I've had great results with Frontline Top Spot I think you need a prescription from your vet for it but I may be wrong about that. When I first moved to California my Chihuahua Oreo had a terrible flea infestation due to rabbits that used to be kept in the backyard. After one application all the fleas died. There was a news report recently about a woman whose dogs became deathly ill after she applied a flea medication to them. I want to say it was made by Sargent. There's no way to say if it was the product itself or just her dog's reaction to it. I think flea medicines are something you need to be careful using. You probably already know this

fleas like any parasite can get amune so i rotate between frontline plus and advantage, that has worked for me and you can check them out and puchase them here www.revivalanimal.com/dogfleatick.aspx or if you are looking into a natural way there is Diatomaceous Earth (DE) also and you can see that on the 2nd page. hope this helps. Good luck with your flea issue!

I've read a lot of articles about dogs getting very and even dying from some of the cheaper topical flea treatments, so just be careful I've heard good things about some of the natural remedies.

Frontline Plus works fantastic. It is one of the more expensive brands but it really works. I just mentioned Pet Edge in the pad thread but I get it from there. I buy the ones for the bigger dogs and then just split it up between my boys and my sisters chi.
