I love ark naturals products
you are definitely one of the folks that need herd protection if your little guy doesn't respond well to medications. Is it safe for him to receive vaccines? A flea comb works wonders, along with intense hot water washings of household materials. These topical flea treatments were not even available twenty years ago and Chemicals- particularly neuro toxins intended to kill living creatures (fleas)- definitely carry risks along with them. Again, I am grateful we have not had any adverse effects and I am sorry for your little buddy's health challenges. I am glad ark naturals is working well for you, they are a really neat company.
