| Flea Prevention for Pregnant Dogs Before Layla got pregnant, we were using K9 Advantix to prevent fleas and ticks. I'm worried that it will harm the babies because I read online about adverse reactions in small dogs to this product. Are there any safe alternatives to keep her flea-free for the next few months? |

| You can prevent and kill fleas safely with fossil shell flour (food grade)...... Buy Diatomaceous Earth to kill fleas, ticks, bed bugs and parasites naturally

| Wow, thanks for the fast replies! While we're on the subject, are there safe products I can use on the lawn to deter fleas/ticks/mosquitoes while Layla is pregnant? |

| Diatomacious Earth is the safest. However, I usually don't allow my girls to be compromised and have an x-pen set up that and completely line that area with pee-pads. Once the pups are born, I keep the x-pen set up by the whelping area.....never allowing my girl in the same area my other dogs are in.....I attempt to keep her as clean and sanitary as possible. Always wiping her genital area, breasts and feet before putting her back in with her pups.

| All right, I ordered a ten pound bag of Diatomaceous Earth (food grade) to spread around the yard. I was wondering if anyone here had used this product for the prevention of intestinal parasites. It seems like many people do, not just for dogs but farm animals. |
