laura_seabrookGah - Pegasus is infested with fleas - it's that time of year.
Tomorrow I will hunt for either Front Line or Advantix. Any recommendations on these?

Mum has been working with dogs at the vets, the boarding kennels and the RSPCA so I've heard a fair bit.
Up until about a year ago I would have said go with the Frontline no questions but it seemed to stop being as effective for some reason. Don't know if the fleas got used to it or what but most of the vets mum knew were recommending a change to Advantix. It was lasting about twice as long. I don't know if the situation has changed yet but Advantix is still working so if the price is fairly similar then go with the Advantix.
Capstar is fantastic for in between flea treatments. It's a tablet that kills off all the fleas, it works very quickly and effectively but it's only a shorter term thing. It doesn't get the eggs I think. Not 100% on that though. I just know you're not supposed to give it to them long term.
