Answer 3Spot-On Pesticides such as Frontline, Zodiac, Defend, Bio Spot, Advantix, Adams and Advantage trigger adverse reactions in dogs and cats, shorten life spans, cause terminal illness, and premature death.

Chemicals injected into your pets blood stream compromise with their vital organs, including the liver, kidney and thyroid. Recent research suggests that the toxic effects lead to a 25% reduction in life expectancy in those animals treated, and inevitably to a painful and premature death. Pets treated with such toxins also experience nausea, nervous disorders, sleeplessness, flaky skin, scabs and other uncomfortable effects created by a compromised immune system.

Veterinary Edit:

Spot on Pesticides ACTUALLY spread throughout the sebaceous glands on the skin so that they cover the pet fully, there is NO for the medication to get into the pets blood stream. The safest products out there to use are actually Frontline, Advantix, and Vector. Frontline even did a study on the potency of the active ingredient in their product and found that a small dog 6-12 lbs could consume the contents of ten 88-132 lbs tubes and still be perfectly fine with minor diarrhea. The problem with fleas is that they lay 20,000 eggs per day per flea, so if you see 1-2 fleas, in a few weeks you will have 20,000 - 40,000 fleas.

There is a prescription medication used by veterinarians that can kill adult fleas on an animal with a few hours called CapStar. The spot-on treatments sold as preventatives (Frontline, Revolution, Advantage, etc.) will also kill adult fleas, but it takes up to 24 hours for it to work.

According to the manufacturer, the active ingredient in Frontline will effect a complete flea and tick kill within 24 hours of application. Basically, you have to wait a day to see full effect.
