Dear Deb,<br />
Yes, I've used adventix (same as frontline) and I always use ecktokill in the house (I have four more pets). She had fleas when but not anymore.

Could be a flea allergy- have you used a good product such as Frontline? Also to do the house is a good idea. Years ago we had a cavaliar with a wheat allergy.Did an elimination diet ie chicken to begin with then add something each month... a long processbut the only way to really see if they're allergic to something!! I'd def carry on with fatty acids. Hope you have some success, poor Maggie.

Dear Kristin,<br />
Thank for your reply. I am giving her the bionic biotic at the moment. I've trimmed all the old and dead hair and now I can reach the skin with the body cream. I feel very sad with her looks as I am used to my girls (the border collies) wonderful and shining coat. She has a very calm nature, but I can see that she is still afraid of being left behind. Just the other day I was walking them in the woods and I've decided to run with Luna for a bit. And for a moment I have been out of…

Just the other day I was walking them in the woods and I've decided to run with Luna for a bit. And for a moment I have been out of Maggie's site. She started to bark and when I got back to her she was all shaking - the poor thing. So yes, I believe she still stressed out with all the changes and the bad experiences she had in her life. It ctakes time and care I suppose! My dog is also a rescue. I wi…tag:irishsetters.ning.com,2009-07-21:865021:Comment:2232172009-07-21T03:31:00.086ZKristinhttp://irishsetters.ning.com/profile/Kristin
My dog is also a rescue. I will say it took almost a year of having him on a good food before I saw a noticeable difference in his coat. He will never have a show dog coat, but he just looks a lot healthier to me overall. There should be a discussion on this site somewhere about coat care and health and I got some helpful tips from others on this site.

But dont expect quick results if you stop using a product like Frontline after experiencing problems. With my dogs, it took at least three months for the skin problems to settle and six months for the coat to grow back<br />
<br />
Try doing a Google search for "Frontline allergies" or "Frontline adverse reactions"<br />
<br />
Not all my dogs have problems with Frontline, some of them are OK with it. But there seems to be a familial thing , The ones that get the reaction are closely related, and all except one are…

Does Revolution also work against ticks? That is our main concern here in Norway in the summer season..<br />

Did you recive my e-mail regarding our Dublin trip?<br />

Thanks for the tip! I will check it out and see if it helps for our dog, but first I'll just have to stop using any products just to see if her coat is getting better. Just to be sure that we can rule out other factors that can cause her hair loss.<br />
<br />

hi merete,<br />
<br />
there is a product called shoo! tags, these are non toxic no chemical tags that dogs wear on their collar, that are for protection against fleas and ticks, i havent used them yet, but im going to give them a try, as i use frontline and hate putting chemicals on my dogs. they last up to 4months, so seem more cost effective, you get them on the net,<br />

That is interesting. It is Skadi's grandmother Bruar and a litter sister of Goshawk (Skadi's sire) and another half sister who have allergies to Frontline, which causes skin irritation and loss of coat<br />

I hear that the environmental protection agency in the US has been raising concerns about the use of Frontline<br />

I get Revolution from Australia as it isnt sold here, but I think Stronghold is very similar?
