    I use stronghold and then miblemax every 3 months. It seems to work.

    We took our spaniel to the West Country in June, where the ticks have always been horrendous; however, I smothered him in Advantix before we went and was amazed to find absolutely no ticks on him during our holiday or after it.

    I'm not keen on covering the dog in chemicals, so I only use it just before we go away, but it certainly was effective this time.
    A cunning plan, Baldrick? Whatever it was, it's got to be better than pretending to be mad; after all, who'd notice another mad person around here?.......Edmund Blackadder.

    Can you only buy that from the vet?

    I know you can buy Advantage online without a prescription.
    Stopped smoking 27/12/2007, but could start again at any time :eek:

    Hi Melbury,

    I'm not sure if you can get Advantix online; I did get mine from the vet.:)
