Sentinel is used to prevent heart worm, hook worm etc. so what do you use alongside Sentinel to prevent fleas?

Tate gets the Sentinel plus Comfortis for the fleas. He used to be on the topical Revolution which is what Finn gets, but Tate would "freak out" every time I applied it so I switched him to oral tabs.

I don't use anything else, just the sentinel once a month. Have never had fleas!! Sentinel does have a flea control in it.

I have chum on Vectra 3D for flea and tick and Heartguard for heartworms. Rick had Hershey on Revolution which covers both fleas and heartworm correct? Do you recommend Revolution?

Sentinel also kills flea eggs. We have our yard treated bi-monthly and will dust Harlea with Food Grade DE from time to time.

Yes, [MENTION=7260]Chumley[/MENTION], Revolution covers the fleas and the heart worm. I find it works very well for Finn who has no problem with getting something applied to his skin. But like I mentioned, Tate got all wiggy whenever I put it on him and i didn't like the distress he went thru so the vet recommended the orals for him.

Chum doesn't mind but I find it hard to get it on his skin..with a thick coat it seems to not get through the hair...the 3D you have to run down the back on the skin but its hard to do I find.

Sentinel with Vectra 3D .... never any issues. Banks does not like the liquid down her back, but it is just for a second so not too much of a big del. Cheli, well, I have to hold him cause he tries to take off when he sees me get the tube out

I use Sentinel and Frontline… I only use in the spring/summer months. Fleas are HORRID here in TN, so even though the yard gets treated I still use the Frontline. I stop in the winter.

That's exactly why I want to get Bust on an oral med, he FREAKS and he is so unsure of me for a day or two and his hair on his back get's this greasy white crap that I know gets all over everything.

I didn't know that, thank you.

[MENTION=6717]pdolphin27[/MENTION], Sentinel does not kill adult fleas but it does prevent adult fleas from reproducing. I've heard it described as a "birth control for fleas".

LET's just keep him on what he's on now, he doesn't freak out when I put it on him....:yes:
