Frontline Plus. Buy the 88-132 and divide it into doses. It costs the same as the lower weight ranges. Buy in bulk and you will save even more money. Cheapest I've found is 1-800 pet meds.
Basically your paying $41 a year for Frontline Plus. Pet Armor 89-132(at Wal-Mart) is $50 for 6 doses cut in half is $25 a year. Why may I ask would you pay more for a name, and its the same thing??
From late April through about mid July the ticks are quite thick where we live. We've been using Frontline Plus for about ten years now and (knock on wood) we have never had a tick attach itself to one of our dogs. But we're also diligent about going over our dog(s) after each training session.
We use frontline plus on our Chessie. Our vet advised us that it was the safest product on the market for our situation, since we have 4 kids, one is a baby who will undoubtedly snuggle the dog and lick her fingers at the same time (yuck). I got the impression that his opinion was that it was very effective, didn't have a lot of side effects, and would be safe for our kids to be in close contact with the dog and was safe for me to apply to the dog while I was still pregnant. I don't know if there are other safe options out there, but that's what led us to go with frontline.
Put it in another container that has an air tight lid and draw it up with a syringe. For front line take the weight in lbs and multiply by .0305 and you will have the number of cc's for your dog.
We use suspend SC for spraying inside the house and a permethrine spray outside. We keep Advantix on the dogs all year.
