	the vet said that he has seeing allot of cases where the frontline and other products that go on the back have not been working as well as normal so he offered this other option. im a little hesitant in giving her a pill to keep fleas away and wanted ot get some feedback from you guys

	Here is a warning though for anyone who uses Ivermectin based heartworm prevention products: •Following concomitant extra label use of ivermectin with Vethical AcuGuard, some dogs have experienced the following clinical signs: trembling/twitching, salivation /drooling, seizures, incoordination, excessive dilation of pupils, blindness and disorientation.

	I have never heard of it either. Can you try comfortus? It works really well.

	Riley- The same reaction happens with Comfortis and any type of Ivermectin. We had a dog come into our clinic and almost die because of the owner's using a combination of the drugs. ETA: Actually I was just looking, AcuGuard is the same as Comfortis. The active ingredient in both is Spinosad. Edited by author Tue Jun 28, '11 3:26pm PST

	I will switch to Acu Guard. I use Frontline and I still have some fleas. My sister tried Acu Guard and she has no fleas.

	We have been using it for a couple of months and LOVE it! We were seeing fleas almost daily with Frontline and Advantix. My vet recommended this and I have only seen one flea. Only problem is that I have to get it at the vet and it is a bit pricey (can't find it online anywhere yet). But, it is well worth the money, in my opinion. Also, I believe (could be wrong) that it doesn't kill off ticks. But, we live in the city and I was willing to take the risk.
