Frontline isn't a vaccine, it's a spot-on treatment. Also, many of the shampoos, dips, foggers and etc sold at pet stores contain fairly toxic ingredients (permethrins and pyrethrins.) These compounds have been around for so long that some flea populations are resistant to them. They can irritate humans and cause extreme reactions in some dogs. They are *especially* toxic to cats, so owners with multiple animals should NOT use them. The flea collars are good to put in your vacuum cleaner bag, but I'd keep them off of my pets. The best flea prevention comes from your vet, who will know your area and your pet well enough to recommend a safe and effective protocol for staying flea free.
