We use frontline spot on to treat fleas on our dogs. We havent wormed them lately though as our vets said its only needed if they actually have worms.

My question is - How often should they be treated for fleas?
How often should they be treated for worms?
And should they be treated for both at the same time or after a certain time interval?

Any help, greatly appriciated x

All dogs should be wormed at least 3 times a year,flea treatment lasts between 4-6 weeks

Frontline protects against fleas for 8 weeks but only 4 weeks for ticks.

It only protecs cats from fleas for 4 weeks though

I use stronghold,it treats both,frontline only worked for about 3 weeks on my dog,apparently dogs become immune to them after a while

Do you have the link to the study that supports this claim?

Thats interesting i used to use ordinary frontline but this stopped working!! then i changed to combo,wonder if this is why they bring out different ones

my vets told me they are phasing out frontline as so many people told them it didnt work,they now use stronghold.

nope,only telling you what my vet told me,
frontline stopped working on my dog,so i now use stronghold,which works fine.
