I am curious about alternatives to Frontline. Besides adding oil to their shampoo, is there "organic" or safe, all natural flea & tick medicines? Is the oil equally as effective? We live by woods and I already found a tick on Ralfie once, but I want to put as few chemicals on (and in) him as possible.
Yes, my Vet told me that too. He called the company while I was there and asked about it...they told him that it's not the size of the heartgard or the dog, but the strength of the heartgard it takes to kill the worms.
