<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial><FONT size=3 face="Times New Roman">I'm normally a
lurker, but thought I'd chime in on this one with our <BR>experience.<BR><BR>We
have a 10-year old basset, 14-year old bagel, and a 7-year old beagle. <BR>My
vet told me that the two older girls couldn't go on Trifexis due to their
<BR>age -- the dog had to be 7 or under to take it. I never bothered to
<BR>question it because we've had some difficulty with flea/tick products, so
<BR>I'm assuming he was correct, and adding it as info. Has anyone else heard
<BR>this?<BR><BR>We have used Interceptor for HW with all three dogs for years,
as I have <BR>rescue dogs coming and going and Interceptor takes care of any
worms we <BR>might encounter. I hope we'll be able to continue getting it -- it
works <BR>well for us.<BR><BR>As for flea/ticks, we use Frontline and so far
it's working. We tried <BR>Promeris about 3-4 years ago, but stopped promptly
when the bagel and beagle <BR>reacted adversely to it (difficulty walking,
walking into walls, eyes not <BR>focussed) in addition to its really strong odor
setting off my daughter's <BR>asthma. (We didn't have the basset at that time.)
Our next vet recommended <BR>Vectra 3-D, which we tried because he said
Frontline no longer worked. The <BR>basset and bagel had the above reactions,
but the beagle was fine. With <BR>both of these trials, the dogs improved
quickly once we washed it off. So <BR>we're on Frontline and keeping our fingers
crossed.<BR><BR>Drool to all in need,<BR>Becky
