| Flea Meds I am wondering what others are doing as far as flea meds. I currently use Advantage, which works VERY well. BUT I wonder about the chemical side effects of it. Also... if you DO use something like Advatage, do you apply it monthly, as they recommend? Or do you stretch it to 6 wks? Any input is appreciated!!

| I use Frontline but also worry about it. How good can it be to be putting insecticide on their little bodies and in their systems? I wish there was a natural alternative that really worked. Laura |

| I wish I could help more but fleas are unable to survive in this climate. Have you tried to google flea remedies? |

| I worry about this as well, but all the vets I have spoken to say that Revolution is very good. My yorkie has a compromised liver and this is the ONLY one that my vet will prescribe Miko because it is safe for him. We can't use any of the other ones no matter how good they are. Revolution is also a heartworm preventative, so it's a 2 in 1 kind of thing.
