One pill to handle monthly Flea/Tick/Heartworms. Any Advice?

So we have had our sheepie on Advantix II for fleas, and well, our dog caught them. Not cool. After this, we'd like to switch a possible 3 in 1 pill like Sentinel. Has anyone used this pill before, or can offer advice on other good treatments? Thanks!

We use Sentinel for Millie and our other dog Jack. I have never seen a flea or tick on either of them. Jack is 4 years old and Millie is 1 year old, and they have both taken it since they were little puppies with no side effects. I would highly recommend this medication
I used Frontline Plus topical on Brick for his whole life with no issues.
Then I found a few fleas on him this past July.

I then started giving him Comfortis oral flea medication in ADDITION to the Frontline Plus topical.
The fleas have to be controlled for Sentinel to work..it basically sterilizes fleas from reproducing.
If you have a controlled environment it is wonderful!
I have heard of a new product that I am not familiar with but, it is Comfortis and Interceptor combined!
I believe it is Trifecta
Sounds like a great plan and very affordable as well
i have used sentinel on all my oes for the past 30 yrs and never had a problem

We tried Trifecta after Charm couldn't tolerate the Advantix. She didn't eat well for a day, despite giving it with food. Wish it had worked for us, so easy and no topicals. 8)
I think it's called Trifexis. Frankie and Mattie have been on it all summer. We had ticks really bad this spring so they also had to use a topical.
Frankie has no side effects. Mattie is very lethargic for a day or 2 after taking it.
