Tri-Flex is an arthritis med for humans, but apparently people give it to horses and large dogs too.
Trifexis is the flea/wormer for dogs. http://www.trifexis.com/Default aspx?AspxAutoDetectCookieSupport=1 Peggy & The Girls -------Original Message------- From: Charlene Date: 1/16/2013 6:26:00 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Chihuahuas] Flea Prevention In our household there is only one thing we give........ we have been giving it for quite some time now.. We get Tri-Flex from our vet. It takes care of flees, hearts worms/ internal(tape ...whip worms etc) and what is fantastic we don't have to use tat stinky oily,$hit on the back of their necks which didn't work all that great anyway. The TRI-Flex takes care of that along with ticks. The miracle pill, 1 dose a month. But you have to remember to give it on the same day each month. Our is the 15th of each month so that means tomorrow is pill day. We don't live in Florida but spent a year down there . Left home on Dec 11th 2011 and returned home Dec 4th Sorry to you all-timers but that was just to long for me. Could have been happy if could have stayed busy every day..decided that maybe 6-7 months is the limit for us. Back tp original QUESTION............we were down in Florida for all the 4 different searsons(haha) from the Panhandle to the keys and back up to Ft Lauderdale....with trips into central Florida, We didn't pick up one fee in all that time, the Tri-flez is great....1 time a month and no worries. I still have heart worm check done each year to be safe......waste of money lol. The tri-flex is dispensed by weight. Four get 1 size and the other 4 get the next up larger size.......would recommend it to *anyone*......& the dogs like it. Only have 1 that woun't take it unless I cover it in some butter 1st. But the pill works great for the whole year we were there so the critters didn't get them there. and I live in OK in an area with real bad fells and ticks.....they come and go fron yared to housethrough doggie door so they have the opertunity to get them any time......they will even go out in what we laughingly(if it is green ,,,now it and call it grass! call grass and lay in the sun, have to run.,,,,,,no giga bites left om this month.....glad that tomorroe is teh 15th, Charlene.....Oklahoma Strangers Are Friends.....Not Yet Met To See GOD'S Wonders.....Travel Cook Like You Love It.....Even If You Don't (2011 Fleetwood Tara MH 34ft) From: Susanne Defoe <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, January 10, 2013 7:45 AM Subject: [Chihuahuas] Flea Prevention Hi All, We are in FL with our gang where the fleas are voracious. The fleas are immune to Frontline Plus here which I found out the hard way a few years ago I have tried Comfortis which worked, but the dogs were still itchy because the fleas have to bite first before they die. I tried the natural route with DE and found fleas. The vet gave me Vectra 3D but our Rico must be sensitive to it because he is very restless after I put it on until I give him a bath. He doesn't sleep at night, won't go under his blankets, etc. The other two are fine with it. The vet gave me Advantage to try with Rico but he still was restless, just not as bad. As soon as I gave him a bath(I waited 2 days) he relaxed and was himself. I hate to use these chemicals but will not have fleas in the house either! Have any of you seen this sensitivity in your dogs? I may have to go back to the Comfortis. Ugh, Sue
