Donating YT 30K Club Member | Good info. I worry even about putting the Revolution on my girls from the vet. I only use it in the summer months and then split it between them.

YT Addict | My Mickey Mouse (my first yorkie) died from being poisoned by flea shampoo. I will never ever use flea shampoo again.

| Thank you so much for posting this video. Very good information. My cat almost died from over the counter flea drops. She did survive but she has a twitch that will probably never go away. As for my yorkie, I don't even trust the rx drops from the vet. I use an all natural spray on her now. You have to use it more often, but that's ok with me. It is made from natural oils and for 4 years now, no fleas or ticks. My cat lives indoors now so I don't put anything on her and so far no fleas. I just feel they don't do enough testing on animal products and they don't know the long tern effects.

| so horrible I tried a small breed flea collar not that long ago on my yorky, there was even one on the box wearing it. He didnt even wear it 24hours, and he started throwing up and acting strange and weak, so i immediatly took it off and took him to the vet. I cant imagine what would have happened if I had left it on. These people who design these products are so irresponsible! |

| My vet wants to put my pup on confortis? A pill. Not sure how to spell it. Has anyone heard of it? He is 3 lbs. I wonder if it is safe but, our vet is recommending it. I'm supposed to pick it up on my lunch hour. Please let me know if anyone has any stories regarding this pill for fleas and ticks. Thank you! |
