Any opinions on what liquid application brand is best, i.e Advantix,
Spot On etc, especially for dogs in southern states?

Best place to purchase?

Has anyone purchased the larger vials of Advantix and used divided
doses utilizing the measurer supplied with the vial? Seems a cheaper
way to go, albeit maybe messy.

........Wouldn't use Frontline, as it doesn't seem to work as well for fleas
in the SE US. I use Advantage. My neighbor just told me her vet had given
her a syringe with a needle years ago so she could buy the bigger packages,
so I think I'll borrow it and start doing that so I can save some bucks.
