Re: Hostility towards veterinarians
No, Advantage/Advantix spreads over the skin like Frontline. Advantage Multi is absorbed systemically (as is needed to protect against heartworms), but I think the fear of insecticides being in the body is unfounded, since all of the major flea/tick/heartworm medicines on the market have proven themselves to be extremely safe (the few that haven't are, of course, not on the market anymore -- i.e. Promeris).
