I agree, we use that with SChotze, thanks to Bob turning us
onto it here a couple years back.
ONly reason I ended up going with something similar to
Frontline was because it also takes out whipworms, and we've got whipworms
out here in the yard, and treated her for
those once.  Hence we use a competitor to FL which doesn't
just do ticks and fleas, but also does whipworms and some
other parasites.  But, for just tick and flea control we
found out MR. Bob's solution works rather well, and saves
money.
