Fleas and Ticks - Dogs and Cats

This forum has given me so much I want to give back a little by sharing this excerpt from my vet's latest newsletter:

Fighting Fleas Fast


Everyone I talk to seems to feel like I do -- this is one of their favorite times of year here in paradise. Cooler temps, lower humidity, the promise of a beautiful leaf season. But it's also the time of year when flea populations in our area hit their peak. All day long folks are streaming in our door looking for help fighting these persistent parasites. Just in the nick of time, I'm happy to announce that we now have in stock Frontline Tritak-- available for both dogs and cats.

Merial, the company that manufactures Frontline products, has responded to consumer feedback with a product that promises to be blazing fast at killing fleas and ticks.

We've had clients using it for a week and we're getting very good feedback. Last night I took in a flea covered rescue dog and we applied a dose of Frontline Tritak. This morning we could find no live fleas, only dead ones in her bedding and stuck in her coat.

Frontline Tritak starts killing fleas in 30-60 minutes - the speed of Capstar or Comfortis. However, unlike Capstar or Comfortis, Frontline Tritak also kills ticks-- at record speeds. An added bonus-- fleas do not need to bite your pet to die.

Compare Frontline Plus to new & improved Frontline Tritak:

FLEAS: Frontline Tritak starts killing in 30- 60 minutes, versus 3-6 hours with Frontline Plus.

TICKS: Fontline Tritak starts killing ticks in 1 hour and is up to maximum killing speed in 4 hours. Frontline Plus takes 24-48 hours to start killing ticks.

Frontline Plus and Frontline Tritak are both covered by the exclusive Satisfaction Guarantee offered only by Merial. Read more about Frontline Tritak by clicking here.

What is good for the goose today will also be good for the gander tomorrow.
