Teddy sends his sympathy for Presley and Holly. He is highly allergic to fleas. I don't know what we are going to do this year because Frontline does not seem to do anything. We tried a couple other topical preventatives and Teddy reacted negatively to them.
We had a couple fleas last year. Rinsing Teddy in apple cider vinegar/water mix at the end of his bath helped.
I had never seen a flea in the first 42 - 43 years of my life. Now they seem to be a big problem everywhere.  |
I am beyond frustrated
who has ever worried about fleas in January, it's nuts!
Thank you for the info. On Bravecta, I am scared to use it, I'm gonna have to talk to the vet...
When my children were little I was always scared to death they would get lice, thank GOD they never did, but I have learned fleas give me the same feeling
itchy, dirty, and not a happy mama! I am washing my bed sheets daily as both sleep with us and I'm not even gonna say how often the vacuum is getting used
Poor Teddy, mine are scratching, so today when they get their bath I am going to try the apple cider vinegar and maybe it will soothe them too, thanks for that tip! I know it sounds like you can see fleas jumping in my house and on my dogs lol, it's not like that but I know it can turn into that and I am paranoid that it will
