I do believe in going the natural route ,if possible, instead of medications and chemicals, talking about furbutts! We camp alot in the summer. The girls are 7 yrs and 5 yrs. Between the 2 they have had MAYBE 5 fleas...and each a tick or 2...I will not use chemicals on them...My Mom got this from a holistic vet in our area. 1 cup of water 15-25 drops of peppermint oil. put in a spray bottle...shake well...saturate a paper towel/towel and wipe the animal down...starting under the neck, belly, head..and so on...we haven't had a flea or tick since we have been doing this.,,only draw back...it has to be done every couple of days...but it is better for them...they smell good and it doesn't make their hair greasy...very soft in the matter of the fact...this all being sad.....I would ask your vet before you do anything to your pet...
