Since both Sentry and Frontline use the same active ingredient (fipronil) it is unlikely that you will see better protection switching to the Frontline. You will need to choose a product with a different ingredient, like Advantage or Revolution or a Seresto collar. If you choose to use another topical, I would recommend bathing your kitty today to remove any remnants of the Sentry, and wait 3 days to apply the next topical. It is important to wait after bathing so that the natural body oils have time to coat the skin to ensure adequate absorption. You do not need to wait or bathe to use a Seresto collar.

Thanks for using Boop by Petco! In my opinion, the best two flea and tick preventative medications are Bravecto and Frontline plus. Any of those would be good options for him. Good luck and have a good night!

Regarding OTC products, Frontline is still a good option. Do know there is a diference between what you can buy without a prescription. Generally know the products sold by your vet are the most effective. Top products for dogs are oral products such as Simparica and Nexgard. Top products for cats are topicals such as Revolution and Cheristan. There is also an oral product called Comfortis that both dogs and cats can take. You will need to switch all the pets over to a good flea product. Make sure to discuss these products with your veterinarian first. These products are generally safe for all pets but there are some conditions which are contraindicated for the oral products. Cleaning up and treating the house and yard will also help but it will not clear all the fleas. The main control is making sure the pets are on good products. This is what will ultimately stop the infestation. Also remember every female fleas lays about 50 eggs a day and it could take up to 6 months before the egg

I'm sorry to hear that you're having this problem! Fleas can be very frustrating to get rid of in some cases. I will tell you that in my experience, Frontline Plus is not effective at all anymore for fleas - I regularly see pets who are using this product and still covered in fleas. Advantage II is the most effective over-the-counter topical flea product for cats. Stronghold or Advocate, which are prescription flea meds you can get from your vet, would be even better. Once you get the cats on a good quality flea control medication, it should be much easier to eliminate them from the environment.

Frontline Plus is meant to be used as a single dose applicator for an individual animal. It is not recommended to split doses since it is exceedingly easy to over or under dose animals. If you are looking to use Frontline in a more cost-effective manner for multiple animals, I would instead consider using a Frontline spray ( https://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=15694 ). That said, I do not find Frontline to be among the more effective flea preventatives on the market currently, and I generally recommend using Advantage, Comforts (prescription-based), Bravecto (prescription-based), or Revolution (prescription-based) instead. I hope this helps and that all goes well!
