Natural Flea and Tick Prevention?

[dands]

Our vet gave us Frontline to put on our 5 month-old puppy. My husband's nervous about putting something on our puppy that's so strong that it can soak through his skin and kill/repel fleas.

Is anyone using a flea/tick repellant that's homeopathic or natural? Does it work as well? We go out a lot with our puppy and I'm thinking we need something with it being summer and all.

Thanks!

We use K9 Advantix since both were 8 weeks, just make sure u use something on him. Also made sure u get the right weigh for him , like I use the green box for puppies 7 weeks of age and older and weighing 10 lbs and under very important u get the right dose for him. And their are 3 and 2 yr old.
I get my thur discountpetdrugs.com , I also get their Heartgard plus, but u need ur vet name and phone for them when u order.

You could try Comfortis. I read some articles while volunteering at the vet's & the vet thinks it is fine. He didn't really have an opinion on which one is better I don't think (though I didn't specifically ask him) I think it has some natural plant thing in it that kills fleas. It is an oral beef chewable thing (I think). I read that a few months ago so I am not sure if it is correct!

You could try Minksheen shampoo. It has a natural insect repellent in it. MinkSheen Pet Shampoo
