Flea and Tick articles from local news channel and EPA EPA: Flea, Tick Treatments Harmful To Pets - Central Florida News 13 03/17/2010: EPA to Increase Restrictions on Flea and Tick Products I know the EPA link will remain good for a while however, the local news channel may disappear in a few days. I emailed the EPA author about Comfortis and will post their reply when I get a response back from them. |
SCARY! Thanks for posting the information. I think I am going to call the vet. Our 3 year old, Biggie Smalls freaks out every time we give him Flea and Tick topical medicine. He yipes and runs around the house trying to rub it off as soon as we apply it. He has acted like this since he was a puppy. We have mentioned it to our vet and they all vet does not think it is causing Biggie any harm because there is no sign of allergic reaction anywhere on his body. He thinks Biggie might just not like the smell of the medicine. We have tried switching medicines (went from Front Line to Revolution) and no difference..he still freaks out. He is not a small Yorkie either. He weight 10.5 pounds. I cannot tell you how much we DREAD giving this medicine to him each month. It is heartbreaking to see him so miserable. We asked about a collars,sprays,etc. but the vet thinks it won't work as well since Bigige LOVES the outdoors and we frequently take him hiking in the woods. |
Thanks for the heads-up Quote:
I wonder if giving our little ones garlic would be better? |

It's not only flea and tick chemicals, but it's also commercial pet food and treats, and over inoculating. Here are some ways to safely repel fleas and ticks holistically. Chinaroad Lowchens of Australia - Ticks, fleas, bees, flies, snakes and other gremlins! And how to deal with them! |
That's what I've read Quote:
but some of the recipes for their food here in YT include the garlic. Is it in the amount, altogether or is there something I'm missing :confused: |
Oh, thanks Quote:
I love it already, some of the ingredients are in my house regularly. I especially welcomed the recipe with the Vodka :D Now I can join in the fun |
