Reluctantly ordered Frontline after all else failed

I know that usually when using this stuff you put it in between the shoulder blades, but as we all know Mastiffs are not normal dogs. Is there any special way to spread this on Bill's back or what? My poor baby is so flea bitten that he's chewing himself up.

I know the thread has been dormant, but I thought I would share what work for me.

We have cat fleas in Central Arkansas that are frontline and advantage resistant. They also laugh at foggers, powders, and collars. Shampoos kill them, but chemical baths every other day to control them would not be good for a pet. This situation left my family infested with fleas. We all had them, then we found capstar. Its a pill that will kill fleas for 30 days, although it cannot be used on cats. We turned our 4 dogs into flea traps. Its fast acting like Capstar so we treated the dogs with Comfortis and the cats with Capstar to kill the fleas on the animals. Now if the fleas get on one of the dogs roaming the house to feed they die. This has solved our flea problem completely.

It works so fast its almost magic. A home can go from unlivable and infested to kids playing safely on the floor in 48 hours.

Thank you for the advise, yeah we have found that the fleas out here are immuned if not attracted to frontline as well it's ridiculous! we have done everything and finally I just got him on Comfortis it's a pills such as the one you mentioned and it seems to be working wonders ad it's only been on him since yesterday. we found that what was going on is a SEVERE allergy to fleas and that is what was causing his skin to look as if he had Demodex. I know that it hasn't been very long but i seem to see a great improvement in his skin already and I have started him on a hypoallergenic food as well... I am very happy for him to be flea free and now for us to be.
