I saw on tv the other night that since Dec dogs are becoming very ill some dying..from over the counter flea meds,,they said so far the ones we get at the vet are OK..but they are now going to also look into them..after that never saw anything about it again nor read anything about this!!!! I use Frontline Plus but now I am worried about using it..the ones in question are the kind you use on the neck like Frontline..not sprays or powders.

Thanks fr the info and the link. I also use Frontline Plus on all three (two dogs and cat) and am always careful about making sure the proper application goes to the proper animal. Tal and Midnight are coming up for their annual check ups and I think I will ask the vet then.

I work at a vet clinic and have seen a LOT of animals that have had very bad reactions to some of the cheaper OTC flea treatments/preventatives.
