The American Beagler Forum

I know it's late in the year, but I'm putting in new dog boxes & the pups have fleas! I've been using Frontline Plus & swear by it, but needed to see if anyone has found a place to buy it by the bottle instead of individual doses? Between two of us there are 17 dogs/puppies which is getting expensive! (I don't want to use the spray though)

Any help would be great, thanks!!

Try switching to Bio Spot. It is a lot cheaper and works well. You can get it at most farm centers. Foster & Smith Vet catalog has the best price.

wiskeyrun...Several years ago I had a 100lb dog pass away on me...I found the frontline I was using for him...but I did not have the box..only the applicator package...so I called the help #... It turns out I had the largest dose 89+...So I ask the person on the phone whats the difference in the 23-44lbs dose and the 89+ dose. (My bassets go 40lbs) She tells me its twice as much. I ask to confirm its the exact same concentation just twice as much of it...She says yes sir.

Well you can guess what I started doing after that ...I buy the 89+ dose and divide it between 2 dogs. Have not had fleas or ticks since.

A six pack of the 89+ costs $87 treats 12 dogs = 7.25 / dog
A six pack of the 23-44 costs $76 treats 6 dogs = 12.6 / dog

works for me

you might try putting 5% sevin dust in the kennel. this time of year I sprinkle a little in the cedar shavings

I do the same thing.

I take out a needle and syringe and pull enough dose I need and then treat the dogs.

Living down here in the south, I treat year round with frontline.

Todays highs are in the 70's and suppose to be in the 80's at the end of the week.

You guys are great, thanks for the advice! I treat here year round also, (must be close by Buckshot, 72 here today!) and hadn't thought about using a syringe on the larger doses.

Thanks all, I'm looking up the catalog now & will pick up some seven dust when I get the shavings on Friday!

i split the 89 plus made for large dogs into four doses for my beagles.
