| Biogroom - Flea and Tick Has anyone tried this product? Does is prevent fleas or is it just for the treatment? I checked the company's website and it says it kills fleas but doesn't mention anything about the prevention of them. I have two pups - 10 months and 8 weeks and have just lately started letting them explore outside. I need a flea and tick prevention system that is safe for them and my 2 year old son. I have been looking into topical flea preventitives such as K9 Advantix and Frontline but have heard some not-so-good things about the chemicals they contain. And they are EXPENSIVE!! Any advise would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks!! |

Donating YT 3000 Club Member | I would not use any flea & tick shampoo Also i don't think it prevents fleas & ticks Just kill's when they get one & you bath them. If you not wanting to use any chemical's When you see a flea Bath them in dawn dish soap it's alot safer. |

| One of the YTers out in CA oftens suggests this site for alternatives to chemicals Chinaroad Lowchens of Australia ~ Site Menu ~ Thousands of canine articles and links and another article that has some good comments Natural Flea Control - Nontoxic Flea and Tick Treatments for Dogs and Cats - thedailygreen.com Just try and be careful either way you proceed. Do a YT search? Talk about it with your Vet or look up a holistic vet.

| I think Biogroom itself is a good shampoo but I've never used any kind of flea and tick on mine...
