| Flea Meds Does anyone know any good brands of flea medicine that works just as good as Advantage without harming them and without being so pricey? I have been using Advantage on my animals.. but it is making us go broke. We have 4 animals.. so a 4 month supply is 50.00 a piece.. so we have to pay 200.00. Or 12.00 for one tube comes out to almost 50.00 a mnth for us.

| I really like Revolution it covers everything Fleas, Ticks, Ear Mites, Heart Work, etc..I have 12 so i need good protection but it's pricey for me cuz I have 12 but I've never had a problem (knocking on wood) and it covers more than just fleas..I think it's like $30 some per month. Good luck, Rini |

| i have to say i dont use anythign anymore... i have a 'flea free routine" that i do every week. . . : I wash his beding every sunday, i give him a flea bath with puppy shampoo every sunday, and i use a flea comb to pick off any "strays" that i find the rest of the week. . . (i usually dont find any)... i also have a cat, so i just use a flea comb on her as well and wash her bedding the same as toby's and we are pretty much a flea free house... all i have to pay for is the puppy shampoo which is a lot cheaper than the monthly stuff |

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | I've posted this before and use Dawn Dish Soap in the girls shampoo to prevent/kill fleas - READ this site for more information http://my.homewithgod.com/mkcathy/household/animal.html we have never seen a flea although my husband THINKS he had one on him today - I am adding Dawn to the girls shampoo and hoping for the best ....because I DO NOT like the Chemical Flea Controls - As I said - in 3 years in Houston....we've never had fleas... I do treat my yard and the only thing I worry about is the girls going to the Dog Park near my home - I Really am hoping we aren't getting a flea problem too....I wanted to Re-Post this in case anyone else is having a flea problem |
