In South Florida fleas and ticks are a serious problem, particularly during our hot, damp summers. It seems this climate is just ideal for them to thrive and reproduce. While our Miniature Schnauzer, Brandy is almost exclusively an indoor dog, when ...

Pros: Inexpensive, no vet trip needed
Cons: Didn't kill fleas. I worry about toxicity

Once upon a time, I was a very inexperienced dog owner. I didn't know any flea control options beyond the typical flea collars and sprays. I tried a few of those products and none worked. I panicked when I found several fleas on my Cairn Terrier puppy....

Pros: Economical, Easy to use, Pleasant smelling
Cons: Can leave dog's coat oily looking if product is applied to the coat instead of the skin.

I was first introduced to Bio Spot by a German Shepherd Dog breeder of 30 plus years. He highly recommended it. He also suggested that I try it on not only the dog I had just purchased from him, but all of my dogs. I always worry about parasite...

Pros: the cost, no vet visit
Cons: none?

Pros: Easy to use, once-a-month use
Cons: Slightly greasy just after application

I love this product. I have a Jack Russell terrier that is very allergic to fleas -- the first summer I had her and before I realized she was allergic to fleas -- she chewed her fur off the back half of her body. It was really odd looking to have a...

Pros: Not one flea or tick in YEARS.
Cons: They don't make it for people!

I cannot recommend this product enough. I started off using "Program" when I first got my German Shepherd Dog.

It was tough getting her to take those large pills! Not only that it, by design, doesn't repel mosquitoes [and now that the...

Pros: Easy to use and find, works great, easy on the wallet
Cons: Can't be too snuggly at first, tick protection fades

As a resident of a home with three cats and one beagle, I know how quickly one flea can lead to an infestation. And I've learned how icky removing a tick really is. At the recommendation of our veterinarian after a horrible flea outbreak on our cats,...

Pros: inexpensive, easy to apply, effective.
Cons: N/A

I have lived in Alaska nearly all of my life, and there are NO fleas or ticks in Alaska what so ever (the pet stores don't want you to know that though!!) So needless to say I had no need for any kind of treatment. Until now.

Pros: If your pet doesn't get sick, it will remove the fleas.
Cons: It tends to make dogs and cats ill, because of the way it goes through their bloodstream.

Pros: Inexpensive, available in stores
Cons: Can cause severe adverse reactions

I decided to purchase Bio Spot Flea & Tick Control For Dogs because it was less expensive than Frontline. It was also very convenient to purchase Bio Spot at a store, rather than going to the vet to get Frontline.

Bio Spot is a "spot-on"...

Pros: Inexpensive, readily available at stores everywhere and online, convenient
Cons: The dog will have a greasy spot in its fur for a couple days

We have used Bio-Spot for our dogs for about 6 years, and have never noticed any side-effects from the product. Some breeds are more sensitive to chemicals than others, so there is no guarantee that all dogs would fare as well.

We have used...
