Elliott is five months old (he's my first dog) and now that spring is here I want to get him started on a flea/tick treatment. The problem is, I'm really nevous about using Frontline, Advantix, etc., because of all the horror stories out there about adverse reactions. I'm probably just over-reacting...my girlfriend calls me "Dr. Spock on speed" because I'm always researching every little thing that happens to my puppy. But nevertheless it's a concern.

My questions is, can anyone recommend an 'all natural' flea/tick repellent? I'd like to get him started on something soon, just in case. Thanks.
