    That's B.S., is it on Internet...sure it is, but track & trace only works when it happens. It's pretty hard to catch people if they don't do wrong. Also, ELANCO has already cut off more clinics whom have diverted Trifexis than any other company has cut off in their entire existence. Lastly, product that is out there is much more expensive than the vets are charging b/c they can't buy it direct and ELANCO doesn't make provide them the opportunity to get product at discounts (no free product or rebate deals). How much are they selling Novartis product for online.....cheaper than most clinics can afford to sell it for, why is that?

    I own 160 veterinary clinis all of which we dont carry Comfortis and now Trifexis. This is great I can say anything here just like you did Elanco rep......(doc if you own 6 clinics you must suck if you still have time to come onto a message board post B.S.)
     
  5. Fleas will never be immune to Advantage. The chemical which is Advantage is far too complex for fleas to become immune to. The chemical(s) that are Frontline (plus) are too simple in structure. This is why it is almost ineffective against fleas and ticks. If anyone has a problem with fleas and not ticks, use Advantage. You will be amazed and grateful for this product.

    Thank you wise chemist. Very well put. Can you please explain the molecular structure of these two chemicals? I guess carriers, inert ingredients, etc don't matter??
     
  7. So, I am a huge fan of comfortis! I think it is a great adulticide, but lacks the IGR for total flea control. As for Trifexis… I will never give my boxer this product, not because of the spinosad , but because for the milbemycin for heartworm prevention. I have seen too many pets with heartworm disease that have been on Interceptor. Even if your pet holds the Trifexis down it might still not work. Sorry Tirfexis… No Go Here

    I have been using Trifexis on my dogs for the last 5 months and they still have fleas and ticks. within 2 weeks of giving it to them. I am going back to frontline and other heart worm medications. If it won't kill the fleas as promised, then it is certainly going to do nothing for the deadly heartworms!

    That's amazing, 5 months, really? Weird that product has only been available for 3 months. You must be super super special.

    okay guys, the more you talk down this product the more appealing it becomes. Any body with a half ounce of intelligence can figure out these remarks are fiction and made by competitors. When this is done it makes one think that there must be something to these products or there would not be as much time taken to put it down.

    It's time you reps. focus on your products and telling the truth about your products and let the veterinarians do the rest.

    Last but no least---GROW UP

    Good thing I am in the U.S. then. You are such a minor player here. Novartis is crushing you!
     
  16. Wow! You guys are more juvenile than I ever expected! Seems to me that many of you have thrown stones while shivering in your glass house. Oops! The way I see the state of this industry and class of products . . . many drug companies are competing in new ways due to market pressure (market-share loss), antiquated products, and necessity based on individual needs. I sincerely hope that none of you whiney types are getting any sort of respect from the Derms, and/or Paracitologists who work every day to ensure that the most up-to-date products are being used to keep pets healthy. All of your products work! That said, Comfortis does work better than any other product available today. Trifexis with the milbemycin is icing on the cake! Thank you all for supporting our industry, and don't feel bad if your on the wrong team today. Who knows, perhaps next year your firm will be back on top with something new and better! No offense. Really! Sincerely- a DACVD.

    You are a DACVD and can't spell Parasitologist? Oh, I forgot to mention I am a porn star. Good one!
     
  18. Thanks for catching my typo chief . . . I suppose that I found my first whiner! LOL!

    Like I mentioned previously . . . good luck next year/product. If it's better than the current king at our referral practice, Comfortis, we will surely give it the attention it may deserve.

    P.S.- fleas survive for 90 days without an adulticide! IGR-only products are antiquated. Products which require the addition of an IGR are not what we would call adequately efficacious. If the facts hurt your feelings . . . too bad, so sad. Try to grow up.

    Thanks for the flea biology lesson. So, do you think Trifexis is 100% efficacious? It must be if you don't need an IDI. By the way, I hope you know Lufenuron is not an IGR. Also, in case you don't know, Lufenuron is the IDI in Sentinel. Did you do your residency at on line?

    New poster here...
    When dealing with an IGR or IDI, neither kill adult fleas, which are the part of the flea life cycle that cause the biting and itching. Most eggs/larva/pupae are in environment, not on dog, so how effective are IGR/IDI really? (rhetorical question) If an adulticide has a fast speed of kill,in theory, that is all you need.
    If lufenuron is such a great product, why did Program (Novartis) not become a blockbuster product like spinosad (Elanco)?

    No matter what flea product client uses, client needs to be consistent when treat environment and utilizing flea prevention. Surely, most everyone can agree with this.
