My 3 babies are indoor cats. But I still need to protect them. There are so many mixed reviews on both these products, so I wanted to see what people on this site use more.

Responses would be really appreciated !!

When I started my rescue group I was using frontline, but it just wasn't doing the job.

Switched to advantage 11 and have used it since, with excellent results!!

Plus it has the added ingredient to kill eggs and larvae as well! What could be better.

thank u so much for your response!! I was hoping 2 get a few responses just to see what more being are using. Especially b/c I know everyone on here obviously are cat LOVERS or they wouldn't be on this site.. Thank you again for your response. I really appreciate it.

BTW- I LOVED your quote, its so true, 2 of my three where found outside & I feed all the strays I can in my area. I can only do so much but at least there are no hungry stray's on my block!

I found that frontline doesn't work as well as it use to. I have never used Advantage so I can't comment on that. But I now always use Stronghold spot on - it kills fleas,ticks,worms and mites all in one application :D

Oh really, I have never even heard of Stronghold. The only other brand i have heard about is Revolution.  But THANK U so much for telling me you find Frontline doesn't work as well as it used to!!!

Stronghold is the name Revolution uses outside the US (same product).

For some reason I find that Advantage works better for fleas. Frontline takes care of ticks too but doesn't seem as good at flea killing. But this can be regional. . .if most people in your area use a certain product it's more likely the local fleas will develop an immunity to that product.
