I remember that Amanda. So glad all turned out well.
I am not a fan of topical pesticides. I think our dogs are just so small and sensitive that they do more harm than good.

I am not a fan of flea meds either. I hate them, in fact. It's akin to poison, imo. As others have already mentioned, I would only give if they actually had fleas and if it was just a single flea I'd try other things first. Bathing, flea combing, vacuuming. The apple cider vinegar is a good tip too. I have had pets my whole life and the only time I had a pet with a flea issue was when I took in a kitten that was already infested.

Well I can't shift Pixels fleas - she's driving me mad. I have had to resort to Frontline (didn't work) and now Advantix (is working). I know they aren't good for them but at a loss what to do! I have flea bombed my house - making it toxic, i've bathed them, i've used that earth stuff, I have used flea shampoos and I hate them. My vet seems to think Pixel is just one of those dogs that they wont die on GRRRR Apple cider vinegar - really? The still drink the water? I have a cat too and she's okay as are Rez and Difa - Pixel is the flea magnet here and it drives me mad.  |
