I also won't use anything that combines treatments. I only use flea treatments when I feel its needed.
I fear somewhere down the line we might actually hear that there is some risk of something from all these "treatments" we are giving our pets. It's like immunizations, and giving them more frequently than every three years, it makes me sick to think I use to get them on my pets every year.  |
this is my take on the whole homeopathic thing...for both dogs and humans i believe this:
Natural medicine is AMAZING, however one must realize that it is used as a preventative measure for good overall health and wellness. natural medicine is not always the SOLUTION to the problem. yes it helps the immune system and yes it's great as a wellness thing, but you need doctors and medicine for treating issues and you need an antibiotic to kill the bacteria when they are prevent. natural stuff to prevent and maintain, medical stuff to treat and get rid of....make sense? that's just me! i trust drs and vets, i research what they say and i learn my own views, but at the end of the day most of what they suggest is better for my pet or for me than nothing at all. natural medicine has a place but sometimes you need a science based and well researched medicine as well. hand in hand you'll be a healthy happy human Or dog.
