| Hey Lisa....Brewers Yeast Hi Lisa, I posted at the bottom of a different thread for you, but you probably didn't get it. Try Brewers Yeast for the fleas (I got mine at WalMart). The are stinky little pills that all of my dogs love. They are for skin and coat, but due to the smell, it repells fleas also. It is perfectly safe and you are even to increase the dosage for pregnant or nursing females. It is just a natural daily supplement that provides Protiens, Zinc and Biotin and has garlic in it. Good luck! |

| I found this info... The important flea—control ingredient in brewer's yeast is thiamine (vitamin B,). A level of one milligram (1 mg) of thiamine daily for each five pounds of your pet's body weight is ideal. For an average-size cat, this would translate to one teaspoon of brewer's yeast; for a large dog, you might administer one tablespoon of brewer's yeast supplemented with a B-complex vitamin pill. Brewer's yeast can also be dusted on externally as a flea powder. (If your pet licks some off, there's no harm done.) |

| I buy it in the form of a pill. It tells you on the bottle how much to give them per weight. Give it to them every day. It is an "8-in-one". 8 things that are good for them in 1 pill. Like I said, they stink and the dogs LOVE them! I even say "treat treat!" when I give it to them and they act exactly like that is what I gave them....a treat! |

| Thanks for the wonderful tip Julz! I don't have and never have had fleas but right now I just use prevenative treat the yard, treat the house occasionally and then I treat the dogs. I think they will like anything that stinks and translates into a treat that they and I both can enjoy the advantages of.

| Julz you are the BEST!! Julz you are the best!! I will try and find it here in Israel, if not, I will be in Canada (visiting the folks) on July 1, so I will get a year's supply and bring it back here with me ! It is really bad, and the pups are covered, I tried the Dove on Chloe, but the pups are full...when I put them on my bed I see them jumping!! OH MY GOD!! I have heard that they might cause anemia in the pups (not to mention all the bites that my kids are suffering, they say our house has turned into a huge doghouse!!)Chloe certainly is the queen bee and poops and throws up randomly wherever she likes (she seems to predispose to my #3 kid's bed, not just puke but several pieces of chicken and unmentionables stored away...) I will try today to find the yeast. Thanks again for the great advice, still waiting for my camera to get fixed, hope your furbabies are feeling better. Love ya,
