My son uses the new Bio-Spot spray that is found at pet stores. He swears it is better than Adams with regard to flea control. I might try that next! P.S.

This dog, Sarah, is one of the 3 that we had intitially used it on. She seemed to have no ill effects the month before so I went ahead and applied it to that one dog OUTSIDE of the home, put her in a pen for a day so that the Promeris would have time to dry out. The next day she was allowed back in the house with little notice of odor. In her second month of use we found a live tick on her. I removed the tick and killed it. After discussing this further with a Vet tech, I am told that in heavy tick areas it might not do a great job. The woods have lots of ticks so that is a consideration if your property is wooded. I used up the last dose of Promeris on Sarah and am done with it. We are going back to our old standby, Adams flea and tick spray every two weeks. It is an acceptable and fairly inexpensive barrier product. Update:

He walked around very droopy with the eyes and just looked tired. I just gave him the medicine yesterday. I'm taking the rest of the dosage back to the vet to switch back to Frontline. I don't like the way my dog has responded to this product. I also tried the Promeris on my Mini Schnauzer and he immediately changed his normal behavior.

He soon started lying around. Over night he was ill then later the next morning he would just lay his head on my leg and really started acting out of character. I let him outside for about three hours and went out to find that my beloved friend was dead. I have no doubt in my mind that the ProMeris was the cause for his untimely death. My friend was only 16 months old. He was a large dog; a ridgeback-lab mix. A few hours outside had never bothered him before.
