    yep they def do an oral version, but i personally like products that kill the adult fleas before they have a chance to lay eggs- fleas make me cringe.

    If the eggs don't hatch (due to the program) then there should not be any baby fleas or any adult fleas.

    they can still get fleas from being out and about, but the problem shouldnt escalate.
    those fleas that hop on will need to complete there life cycle before they die

    My wee dog is getting the program tabs from the vet. Is it possible the to use something topical as well to kill the adult ones when/if the get onto the dog in the first place? I was under the impression that the program would kill them at first bite.

    For those interested, heres a good review of program injections. With the pros and cons of using it versus spot on treatments.

    Frontline is not very effective. The best ones are the ones you get from a vet - Stronghold, Advantage etc.

    Whatever you do, don't get anything by Bob Martin.

    But I find Frontline doesn't work too well for mine & many others have discovered this too
