3 dogs (only two in the house) and 2 cats, one of which goes outside...we use Advantix on them all monthly, no problems with fleas or ticks. When I had coon hounds and running hounds I washed them down twice a year, spring and mid summer with stuff, forget the name, that's all it took.
Not telling you what to do, but look on the ingredient list on that Advantix. The main ingredient is Permethrin. 44%. Freedom Spot On 45 is 45% Permethrin. You are probably paying in the neighborhood of $10-$15 per dose per month depending where you get it. The Freedom will cost you less than $3 per dose for dogs 33-66lbs, and if you buy it for horses and dose at the dog dose, it will cost you less than $1.50 per month per dog, for dogs 33-66 lbs.
