Dont spend all that money. Just throw sugar all over the dog. It wont kill the flees but it rots their teeth!0

Although I've never had teh Combo befor e- they didn;t offer me the other one and I just thought they'd changed the packaging to green until I got home, too late to ask then!:cool: DFW Nerd Club member 023...DFD 9.2.2007 :cool::heartpuls married 21 6 08 :A Angel babies' birth dates 3.10.08 * 4.3.11 * 11.11.11 * 17.3.12 * 2.7.12 :heart2: My live baby's birth date 22 7 09 :heart2: I'm due another baby at the end of July 2014! :j

THat's good to know - my poor Kizzy has no fur left on her back and she's licking herself raw
So probably needs the Combo anyway. Not that I can see any fleas, but she could have mites. :cool: DFW Nerd Club member 023...DFD 9.2.2007 :cool::heartpuls married 21 6 08 :A Angel babies' birth dates 3.10.08 * 4.3.11 * 11.11.11 * 17.3.12 * 2.7.12 :heart2: My live baby's birth date 22 7 09 :heart2: I'm due another baby at the end of July 2014! :j

My cat did that to her legs an expensive course of steroids from the vet sorted it though :rolleyes: If she scratches too much I put germolene on her now, much cheaper

I shall try Germolene! She just wont; stop licking!
Why did the steroids work?:cool: DFW Nerd Club member 023...DFD 9.2.2007 :cool::heartpuls married 21 6 08 :A Angel babies' birth dates 3.10.08 * 4.3.11 * 11.11.11 * 17.3.12 * 2.7.12 :heart2: My live baby's birth date 22 7 09 :heart2: I'm due another baby at the end of July 2014! :j

Why did the steroids work?
I think it relieves the itching, down side is they can cause kidney/liver probs if used too much.
She doesnt like the germolene but it does help, and I did explain to her I wouldnt be able to afford treatment for kidney problems :rotfl:
I also use Savlon as well, and shout at her as I think they just keep licking to relieve the itching and its a vicious circle0 -
I agree with chatta, the combo one is definitely more effective than the single frontline.
Your vet can give you a prescription for frontline combo so that you can purchase it online....apparently they can't charge for the prescription.
