Flea prevention!?

We have 2 indoor cats and we are getting a dog. If we use Frontline on both the dog and cats will we be safe from a flea infestation?

Flea prevention!?
yes, Just be certain you get the Frontline for dogs,( for the dog as I'm sure you know). Cats and dogs taken different "doses"
Reply:I find that Frontline is a very effective treatment for fleas. Just be sure to bathe the dog immediately when you get it home and apply the Frontline after the dog is dry. If you follow the regimen recommeded by Frontline, you will probably have no problem with fleas.
Reply:Its a really good start! If you live in an area that is prone to having fleas in the yard them perhaps it will be wise to look into the many ways you can put something down on your lawn too.


Just remember to get the right Frontline, they make it for cats and dogs.
Reply:That will definatly keep you from getting infested. Also before you bring the dog to the house get a bath done at the vet before you bring him home to make sure that he doesnt bring any home. ALso in addition to the frontline when you choose the heartworm prevention for the dog I reccommend using "Sentinal". That heartworm prevention has a flea protection in it that breaks the flea cycle. It is safe to use with the frontline. Do this and you will not have a problem with fleas.
Reply:I don't know about Frontline, but a good way to get rid of them is to put some vinegar in a dish and set it somewhere where the cats (or dog) wont get to it. the fleas will be attracted by the smell and will dive in. the vinegar should kill it.
Reply:I use Frontline Plus on my pets. When I moved into my new home in a wooded area, my house became infested and all my animals had fleas. I got some frontline plus and used it according to directions and have never had a problem since.
Reply:Safe from a flea infestation, yeah. You could still have a flea showing up now and then, friends bringing them over, picking them up in the yard etc. But you won't become infested with fleas.
Reply:Fleas are a major pest. There are various species of fleas - cat fleas, dog fleas, rat fleas and rabbit fleas.


You can get rid of them by the safest and cheapest methods like boric acid.
