murtle Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 Hello I was wondering what the difference between the Frontline and the Frontline Combo - nothing on the descriptions jumps out to say to me what is different. One needs a prescription and the other doesn't, my Vet gives me the combo. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

celeste Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 I thought the Combo did fleas and worms . Weirdly you can buy Frontline spot on over the counter but the spray needs a script Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudi Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 Garlic works just as well and there's no risk to the dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
