I have used Animal Medical Clinic of Gulf.Gate since 1978-79 and uses Dr. Nick until an old.man ran him over and killed him. Dr. Lantry has been there for 10-12? yrs and was my backup choice so nw use her. it is about a 30 to 45 minute drive depending on if we have tourists or not so I'm using a vet that's closer to me. Dr. Debolt in Englewood. That is a vet a minpin rescuer uses and I really like her too but if its something serious I'll still go up to Sarasota for Dr Lantry. Both Dr. Nick and Dr. Lantry realize I know alot so don't talk down to me and allow me to hold my own dogs. Since I owned large breeds who were bite trained and might see a painful shot as something to react to, although none did and MinPins who no one else could handle until after I rehabbed them it was an important point. Now none are really an over the top problem even Ranger who was abused and dislikes being restrained by anyone else was fine but course I was there holding his head too. I wouldn't want to leave him there for anybody to handle.

She advised spacing them out like 2 weeks apart. We winter in Sarasota. Frontline did not work at all for fleas at all there. We are still vet shopping there. Which is your favorite?

I am sure she meant the newer Frontline Tritek but I have the Frontline Plus left so am using that. Question to those who use Comfortis and Heartgard/Ivomec did your vet tell you to use at different times, tell you it doesn't matter as long as Heartgard/Ivomec is not mange dose, or not mention it at all??
