ProMeris flea/tick I read this on another site and thought it would be good for as many people as possible to read it. This is a new product designed to be a more effective product than > other flea/tick treatments that was just released this year. It is >available thru a vet and not currently on-line.

I've always wondered why more dogs don't have a reaction to any of the flea/tick meds that are out there. Actually that stuff is poison. I use Revolution because that is the only product my 11 yr. old Yorkie, Rosie, will tolerate. Even at that I use the puppy product on her. Scary stuff, if you ask me. |
i had just started using i started using it when i sent my chihuahua and pom to the groomers and they came home covered in fleas!!!:mad: i had been using frontline but i have to tell ya i love it! the smell was not as bad as people have said and it works great even when you give them a bath. i love it and i plan to still use it....its not to say i wont be having probs this next time but it has been good so far. |
i have seen another post on ProMeris on another site, and how bad it was, so i wont be buying it. i stick with frontline and heartguard for Teddy, and he has had no ill effects. Thanks for sharing this! |
