I know some dogs don't react well to the topical oils but so far he has done really well. The deer bring the ticks into our yard so we really can't treat for them. I'm not sure about the whole flea question perhaps some one else can help out there.If you search I think there is a thread about more natural remedies too. Good luck!

Thanks for your response! Thankfully I have a fenced yard so no deer. I would definitely rather treat the yard than treat Jamie if possible. Like your baby Jamie is small. I remember that when I first signed up on YT before I got him there was a thread about flea preventative building up in their system and making them sick. I just wanna do whats best for my baby. Ahhh the woes of being a Yorkie mom...
