Decide which of the two products is most appropriate for your pet. According to the 1800petmeds website, the main difference between Advantage and Frontline is that Advantage kills fleas and Frontline kills both fleas and ticks. If your pet needs dual protection, Frontline is the best choice. If you just need to control fleas, you can choose based on price or your veterinarian's recommendation.

Tips & Warnings
There is always the possibility of running across a scam website claiming to be a legitimate pet medication vendor. Signs of a scam website include poor design and an order page that starts with http rather than https, meaning it is not secure. Avoid suspicious websites, and always order Frontline or Advantage with a credit card so you can dispute the transaction if needed.
