I was chatting w/ a friend the other day and we were discussing all the products we use on our pets.......boy...was that list a long one!

Anyway, I was wondering....is there a safe, all-natural (and one that really works) alternative to the monthly flea/tick meds? I currently use Frontline, but have tried Advantage too. There was another monthly product (can't remember its name right now), but our vet said it didn't cover all the ticks we have in our area.

We do not have fleas, but I don't want them to get them....and I just hate putting the chemicals on them each month!

(We currenly use Frontline Plus 1-10lbs and we split the dose, our vet said we could)

Any thoughts??
