Vectra 3D 6 Pack Dogs 2.5-20 # Review

Vectra 3D
for Dogs 2.5-20 Lbs

I've always used Frontline Plus on my dogs to protect them from fleas and ticks. My vet quit carrying it around six (6) months ago. They wanted to try a new product called Vectra 3D. I had never heard of it, but the good news was it cost a little less than Frontline Plus. I usually paid around $90.00 to $95.00 for Frontline Plus. Now, I pay $85.00 for a 6-pack of Vectra 3D.    

The longer your dog is infested with fleas, the greater risk your dog may develop anemia, tapeworms, or even a flea allergy. Some of the signs are pale gums, weight loss, rash, hair loss, inflammation, and severe itching. 

My Viewpoint
The Vectra 3D applicator is much easier to open and apply than Frontline Plus. I always wear disposable gloves when applying the medicine to my dogs so I do not get it on my hands. My dogs have never had fleas in the 6-months that I have been using it. However, when my dogs were on Frontline Plus they did have fleas from time to time. The reminder stickers that are included with the Vectra 3D can be put on your calendar. This is very helpful to me because if it is not written down on my calendar, I will forget it.  

I will caution you when applying the medicine to more than one dog/cat to put the other animal in another room. Why? Well, after applying Vectra 3D to my oldest Jack Russell Terrier last month, my other Jack Russell licked the medicine on the back of his neck. I panicked because the box says, "This product may have serious harmful effects if ingested by a cat." I know you are not supposed to use this product on cats and I figured if any animal ingested it, this would be bad. I called the vet immediately and of course it was after hours. I paged my vet and he took forever to call me back. He told me that my dog would be fine, but he may have a very dry mouth. This could also happen if you have dogs and cats in your home no matter what product you use.  

I would recommend the Vectra 3D for all pet owners. This not only protects my dogs from fleas and ticks, but also mosquitoes. Frontline Plus only protected them from fleas and ticks. I give it 5 stars!
