Charlotte, thank you for your reply. I was hoping you would weigh in!
Sentinel has a coating on the outside of the pill, I am told, as opposed to flavored throughout like Interceptor. Supposedly like a Spree candy or an M & M? I was directed to rinse the pill until the coating comes off. Sounds crazy to me. I am skeptical. This vet is new for me, but she is a holistic vet and has helped my dog tremendously. So I guess I will give this a try.
My vet's opposition to Ivomec is because it would be off label (not indicated for dogs?). The vet's tech did call me back today and said I could safely use Frontline Plus with the Sentinel.
Looking forward to Heartgard tabs making a come back.
Again, thank you for the reply. I appreciate it.
Sentinel is Interceptor with Program added to break down the outer layer of the fleas eggs so they won't hatch.I would think that the safest way to go with an allergy issue would be Ivomec.Frontline is safe,but seems as of late to be less affective.Have you tried Vectra for ticks(fleas also)?Safeguard is a great addition to your regimen too.Hope you find the right combo for your dog,allergies can be a real "bugger".
