Yes, I know all about natural stuff not being regulated for humans and animals due to what I have done for work. I have worked in the "regular" health field as well as the holistic health field for years and years.
I have actually done tons of research on what I am using on my dog and I can't find anything negative, but I HAVE found a lot of negative stuff on Advantix, Frontline and other spot ons. Not to mention the fact that fleas and ticks are now becoming immune to all that crap, just like bacteria that affects humans are becoming immune to so many antibiotics.
I know that animals can end up with cancer (like your family's dogs), but it just really, really bothers me to put pesticides on my dog.
