Advantrix Substitute?

We use Advantrix monthly for fleas ticks and mosquitoes. However, the day after I apply, my male dog is scratching alot. Could he be allergic to the stuff? what else could I use? we have HUGE problems here with ticks and especially mosquitoes...After a day or so he is fine again.

You know I just noticed this last week when we put it on Murph2 and then he was fine a day later.
Kinda scary, I plan on either going back to Frontline or Vectra.
Could it be those nasty fleas are just trying to get their last meal in?
I have never had a problem with Advantix.
Frontline does not work for us.

I also prefer Advantix to others. Never had a problem. Never a flea, never a tick....but I did notice all along for the past ew years, my male does scratch where I apped for the first day or so...Then he is okay. And as I said, I NEVER had a problem with ticks or fleas...Just wondering about the scratching...My female has no problem at all. I apply and she is fine. ...

Do you know what the active ingreidents is in those other products?
Fipronil is in Frontline, I am not sure about Vectra as it is new but, we did have a problem last year with Georgie/fleas and Vectra was the only thing that worked
