Flea Control Recommendations May Include:

Many products are available for Flea Control and treatment of flea infestation. All products have advantages and disadvantages and may/ may not be safe to use with other Flea Control products.

Over the counter Flea Control products are available without a prescription, such as flea powders, sprays and collars that contain pyrethrin, which can be moderately effective. The more effective, flea control products which can be purchased are: Program (lufenuron), Frontline (fipronil) and Advantage (imidacloprid).

The more effective flea control products which are more potent include:

ProgramŽ (lufenuron), a product that can be administered orally or by injection, and that inhibits the development of the flea

FrontlineŽ (fipronil) and AdvantageŽ (imidacloprid), topical products placed directly on the skin that prevent and kill fleas

If your pet already has fleas, they must be killed first with Flea Control products such as, FrontlineŽ (fipronil) or AdvantageŽ (imidacloprid).

Flea Control recommendations vary depending upon local and regional variations in climate. New flea control products are constantly being developed. Consult your veterinarian about the newest and most effective product for your particular area and circumstances.
