Anyone use Costco's equivalent to Frontline Plus?

[Dana]

Has anyone tried Costco's flea & tick control product. Are you finding it works? Here in NJ Costco sells Frontline Plus for $37 &  the Costco equivalent is $20.

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

The difference to me is that human drugs and products are better regulated. I think that even generic human drugs still have to be FDA approved, and the same standards and safeguards are not used for pet products.

[F, Calla & Luca]

True to some degree. You'd be surprised.

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

By the control over pet products or the lack of it for human ones?

[Pam & Trixie]

I have a box of the Kirklands in my hand.  it was 6 applications for $20.

I am going to return it though & stay with Frontline...I still have some left from last year.

My DD said she thought it said on the Sign at Costco it was the same ingredients...it is not - I just checked.

 

Also my DD used it on her 2 dogs...I used Frontline on Trixie...her 2 dogs were here overnight a week ago & I found an engored tick that had fallen off a dog...I assumed it was from one of her dogs & I am probably right.

 

I space my frontline treatments out 5- 6 weeks depending on the time of year. (Trixie was at 3 weeks when the tick was found on the floor)

I have used  Frontline til now and have found engorged ticks on my dogs.

For people who use Frontline purchased from the vet I just found this coupon:

I just looked at what the vet gave me for Riley and it's Certifect, it's a good bit cheaper than the Frontline Plus and not a generic which I thought originally.   Anyone using it?  It seems to have the same ingredients.  

[F, Calla & Luca]

It does have the same active ingredients. I haven't used it though.

[Gail and Bailey]

Nicky....Certifect is the tick med that made my doodle lethargic and "weird" for 3 days. It was scary!  I have switched to Frontline plus.

[Nicky, Riley & Boris]

Wow Gail, if I had read this before I used I wouldn't have taken the chance but we are into our third month on it and no problems.  I did make sure I was around to observe any changes when I used it the first time.  It's a precaution I would take with any new drug. You just never know.

We don't have very many Costco Stores ( I think there is one but it is 40 miles away) in my area, but we do have Sam's Club.  They seem to be similar stores in niche marketing.

I have seen the Sam's Club Frontline knockoff displays in their store recently.  Same thing?

[F, Calla & Luca]

Fiproguard is the one generic I know of. Some bad reviews but that's true of Frontline too.

Has the opinion changed much about what the 'best' flea + tick product is now?  Anything safe that is better?  (Not looking for natural hokum ;))
