We don't use flea protection as our shampoos are full of essential oils that are natural flea repellants, as are our coat sprays.
Jodie, where did you find out that it lasts for 60?
I'm hearing that it "might" last 2-3 weeks longer than what the package says.
I would really like to only give it every other.


And I don't know why people in the north use it year-round.
I use it 6-9 months a year.
