      I use Frontline gold. My dog has IBD so it’s hard to find something that won’t interfere with her tummy so that’s what I use and so far so good

      Trifexis, on both dogs. No problem. Also kills heartworms and stomach worms, a three-in- one

      Nexgard plus! Been using regular nexgard for 10 years and it’s been amazing! No issues what so ever and works great! Just switched to the plus because it has the heart worm protection and flea all in one pill and it’s great too!!

      Dawn dish soap kills all fleas. I had a gsd that was allergic to fleas if even one bit her shed have hives for Days. Id wash her once a month and make a mild spray for my floors and couches. 1/8 soap to a gallon of water. It’s the only thing I found that worked without spending a million dollars

      Simparica Trio for the last 4 of my dogs nearly 5 years and he’s had no issues. It protects against fleas, ticks, and heartworms all in one pill and he takes it easily.

      Vectra topical. No reactions. Nexgard caused anxiety and racing heart in my boy. Real adverse reaction. Hard on his heart

      Since my GSD will find a way to get a collar off and I am physically unable to give shots, I use Pet Honesty flea and tick soft chews. I have only seen 2 ticks in the 4 1/2 years I have been using the product.

      It took my healthy German Shepard 17 hours to die an excruciating death after giving her Bravecto. Her gums and tongue turned white, paralysis, bloating, bleeding from her orifices, she cried and panted the entire time. No vet would take her because it was on July 4th. When she died, she had a very strange scent coming off of her body. I was offered a free necropsy but I had to pay to ship her to Tufts so they could slice up her remains to see what she died from to ease my mind. I know what she died from.

      I order Flea Assassin on their website. I order the monthly and have an extra bottle of the daily if needed. No sign of fleas since using it. Not that expensive. Also, have for cats.
