If you don't mind. Can you explain to me
how the liquid works by putting it in the
neck. Also, does the brand matters? Is a
genric brand just a good? My mom did give
me like a 3 pack of liquid but I used it
like once or twice because I didn't think
it was doing a good job.

Personally, I have found that the name
brand works better. Simply because the
other brands don't offer mosquito
protection (mosquitos cause heart worms)
or tick protection (a MUST in South
Carolina).
Do NOT use Hartz brand from the grocery
store-it has been known to cause serious
health problems in animals.
I'm not sure exactly how the medicine
works, I just know it works better. You
squirt some of it on the neck area-by the
collar and move towards the tail, getting
contact with most of the spine. You place
the majority on the neck because that is
where fleas prefer to nest mostly.

PLEASE don't use Hartz brand! Check out
this site before you use it, you won't
want to after reading the horrible
experiences parents of doggies and kitties
have had...

There are different forms of worms.
Hookworms, tapeworms, heartworms, and
roundworms.
Tapeworms only come from
fleas. |
Tape worms can come from any type of
grazing animal, like sheep, rabbits ad
things like that. They are most commonly
from fleas. that is what my vet told me
when I had tank treated a week ago for
tapeworm

Plus. Their prices are amazing and the
shipping is very quick.

I second everyone else in saying that
Hartz is no good. I know that the other
brands such as Advantix and Frontline are
more exspensive, but they are sooooo much
better for you baby.

When I finally got my Ragdoll cat to come
out of hte woods t o trust me enough, I
brushed his and found tapeworms. THey look
like rice and break off in segment. After
ordering 3 pills from 1800
petmed...........which took over 16 days
from FLorida to Georgia to get
here...........did'nt do a thing. Waste of
time and money. I otok him ot the vet and
seh immedaitely put resolution on him.
This kills felas, their larvae, ear mites
and tapeworm. The wroms were eliminated
within a couple days. I keep his little
ears cleaned out and as far as flea
meds............YES, I go to EBay and have
found REPUTABLE sellers who are licensed
to sell Advantix and Advantage......at a
price you will find no where else. Have
been using this for over a year and it has
worked remarkable well on all 4 cats.
Needless to say the vet was pissed, she
wan't getting her cut($) and tried to tell
my I was taking a chance putting that
'stuff" on my cats...............its
legally marked, and the real mccoy does
not have an expiration date! My cats are
healthy (slightly over weight), no fleas,
no ear mites and no
wroms............thought I'd pass this on
to others who are tired of paying
overhead!

Frontline, never had any bad reactions to
it.

Lilly......I hope you don't mean that in a
bad way:) I really do love PetMeds.....but
speaking of flea preventatives, I'm
actually considering changing to Advantix,
because it has the added bonus of mosquito
protection.

I don't think I take anything in a bad
way... I just started laughing when I read
it, cause that commercial just popped
right in my head. I try to avoid delivery
to my house though, I pretty much live in
BFE, lol. Like the Jeff Foxworthy thing...
'if directions to your house include turn
off the paved road'... yup, that's me!
