Frontline Plus is good for outdoor pets, especially those that live on large acreage.

Advantage is good for outdoor pets, but has no effect on tick or flea eggs.

Revolution is good for outdoor pets, Earmite control is a bonus. Revolution treats fleas, ticks, & heartworms, but does not control intestinal worms in dogs (like heartworm preventitives do).

Interceptor provides Whipworm control in addition to Hookworms & Roundworms. This is our most recommended Heartworm prevention. Interceptor is often used in combination with Frontline plus for complete protection.

Sentinel has the benefit of no external insecticide on your pet so it reduces human exposure. It controls fleas by preventing the eggs from hatching. Sentinel does not control ticks or adult fleas. Capstar can be used to remedy this for fleas. This is the preferred flea and heartworm control for indoor dogs.

Heartguard is the best tasting Heartworm preventitive, however it does not control whipworms. (Good in combination with Frontline Plus).

ProHeart is an injectible Heartworm preventative. If you have trouble remembering a monthly product, this should be your 1st choice. The disadvantage is its lack of intestinal parasite control (offered by the oral monthly products: Interceptor, Sentinel, & Heartguard).

Capstar is an oral treatment that starts killing fleas in 30 minutes, but only lasts 24 hrs. in cats & 36 hrs in dogs. It is used to get rid of severe flea infestations while waiting for other long-term products, (such as Sentinel, which works well with Capstar), to work.

The Preventic collar is the best tick control product, (for ticks only). May be used in conjunction with Frontline, Advantage, or Revolution for more complete control. (Collar must be applied snugly).
