I've been buying Frontline and Revolution online for my two cats. It turns out that the Frontline was counterfeit. I'll be going to my vet soon to show them the Revolution and discuss this.
Here is the FDA warning about conterfeits: http://www.fda.gov/AnimalVeterinary/ResourcesforYou/AnimalHealthLiteracy/ucm203000.htm
Some of the companies selling counterfeits appear ligitimate--they might be on a yahoo website (hosted on yahoo, but made by the conterfeit seller) or on Amazon the same way. The packaging is VERY similar to the real thing, but the stuff inside, who knows!
The FDA warning shows pictures of real packaging and has hints at what to look for. Wrong shapes, wrong lot numbers, metric instead of imperial measurements, wrong font for the lot numbers, wrong stamps on the packages, missing warnings.
I'm never buying Frontline or Revolution online again. The stuff did not work and they even sent me two packages of the same stuff with different forging errors on each. I lost a ton of money and my cats were itchy, but now I have the right stuff and I'm really hoping for the best. The real stuff even has the applicators inside a different kind of plastic!

but did anybody found some solution to this problem,I am bitten for a year now i changed 3 houses,treated the house for bedbugs and nothing,the problem is i cant see anything never and i dont even have any bites but i can feel them very clearly specially during the night,i feel something moving on my skin,never nothing there when i check with a flashlight iam getting crazy really
Have you tried cleaning out infested areas with an air purifier that has a UVC filter, or using a UVC wand?
Domestic and commercial treatments for bedbugs are all time available for your comfort.
I too, bought FAKE Frontline Plus this year! I've used it for about 4years, and my dogs have NOT had fleas. This year, I might have just as well sprayed them with plain water for all the good the Frontline Plus I ordered did them. I had to comb fleas from my Pug every time he went outdoors.
I buy flea meds from 1-800-pet- Meds all the time for my cat, and it has always just worked fine. The fleas die, but not until after they have bit her. I wish that there was a product that would totally keep the fleas from biting her in the first place. Is there one?
