Switched to Frontline 4 months ago and saw great improvement over Advantage. However, its still not 100%; Jeffrey still gets the occasional bite on the chest area (1-2/wk). I suspect he gets them from pushing through shrubbery/tall grass on our walks. Its fairly consistent, so I don't believe its because the medicine loses its effect towards the end of a cycle. Doesn't seem to bother him and I only find the scabs, but I'd still like to treat for it (as opposed to modifying his behavior). He weighs in at 87lbs, so I'm using the the purple (45-88lbs). He's quite healthy and we're very active.
The question is, how significant are the Frontline weight limits? Will bumping up to red (89-132lbs) help, or is there a significant risk with the greater dose?
I asked the Vet, who said she'd need to call Frontline (Merial). I called, but it was after hours, so I thought I'd ask you folks for some input.
thanks in advance
