Does Sentinel work for fleas?
Sentinel is not effective against adult fleas, but prevents growth of the infestation on your pet. These adult fleas will still be able to feed on your pet and cause itching and discomfort. Another drug, usually nitenpyram, will have to be used to kill the adult fleas.
Can my dog still get fleas with Sentinel?
Sentinel Spectrum stops the environmental stages (flea eggs and larvae) from developing into adult fleas. So over a period of a few weeks to months Sentinel effectively “cleans” the home environment and thus stops adult fleas from developing and infecting your dog.
How long does it take Sentinel to get rid of fleas?
“As the product does not kill adult fleas, it may initially take some time to get fleas under control. They will continue to emerge from cocoons for 30 to 60 days after treatment has commenced; even longer in cooler areas.”
Can you use Sentinel and frontline together?
You should not have any issues using both Sentinel, an oral flea and heartworm preventative, and Frontline Plus, a topical flea and tick preventative, at the same time.
What is the difference between Sentinel and Heartgard?
Heartgard Plus can be used from an age of 6 weeks, while Sentinel is safe from 4 weeks and up. Both products prevent heartworm disease, and they are both effective against roundworms and hookworms. Heartgard Plus contains Pyrantel Pamoate and Ivermectin, while Sentinel combines Lufenuron with Milbemycin Oxime.
Which is better Sentinel or Trifexis?
Sentinel contains Lufenuron, which prevents flea egg development and ends the flea life cycle, but doesn’t kill adult fleas; Trifexis contains Spinosad, which kills fleas (it has been proven to kill 100% of all biting fleas within four hours). You should be cautious when giving any medication to your pet.
