Hi,
We also use Frontline on all three dogs.  I was a bit concerned about using 
it on my Beagle who has epilepsy, but she had no ill effects.  Its the only 
thing that controls the horrible tick problem we have where I live in SC.  
There are a lot of pine trees surrounding our property, not our trees, that 
are loaded with the suckers.  I am working on begging my neighbor that owns 
the property to cut them down next to our fence.  He already gave me 
permission to move our fence out for a while and let our pygmy goats out 
there to clear what is low.  Trouble is the ticks are high up in these trees 
and drop on our animals.  The goats have such tough skin they don't have a 
problem, but even with the Frontline last year we had to check Gracie every 
time she came in all over her body.  We found ticks on her every day.  Its 
such a worry as they carry disease.  She is already a heartworm survivor, so 
I feel extra protective of her.  The dogs are on Interceptor also. My Kelly 
ESS is a HW survivor as well.  I have found that the ticks are not as bad in 
my front yard as the back.  Someone told me to get Guinea hens and they eat 
ticks.  Will pick up a couple this spring.  I am hoping that the bad winter 
we had killed some of the parasites here.  Last summer was a nightmare in the 
woods here.  Could have made a horror movie here.
