Please don't use Bio Spot!!! Mine had bad reactions to it. One of them itched like crazy for about 3 days, another for two days and the third one lost hair, got open sores and had to be on meds and the vet put steroid cream on the sores and she also didn't eat well (my dog, not the vet!) I contacted the company and all they say is they are sorry and to report it to the poison control or somewhrere, which I did. I tried calling a couple of times but only got recordings... On the packaging, it states that those are possible reactions, but I never expected it to be so bad or expensive... $85.00 to the vet. | |

My two cents on flea collars. I put one on Tinka last summer and while I was in the next room, she got the collar stuck in her mouth. I finally got it cut off and she was shaking for over an hour and foaming at the mouth. It was terrible. I have used collars before but I NEVER will again. It was so bad seeing her like that. I was getting ready to take her to the vet when she finally settled down. Poor baby. | |

Luvs Lulu Donating Member | I don't use any of the chemical things. I actually just give them a single pill of brewers yeast with garlic every day and (knock on wood) I haven't had a problem as yet.

| flea and tick control Hi, Please do not put a flea collar on your dog. The chemicals that are on it are the chemicals used in nerve gas. The chemicals attack the pests nerve system and thats how they die. Your dog will also absorb the chemicals and could suffer from damage to his nervous system. Please go to earthanimals.com they sell an all natural flea, tick, and mosquito control that you put on their food. It will not harm him. I have personally been using Revolution on my 16 dogs. I have just ordered the internal powder for all my dogs. I live in Florida and we have our fleas, ticks and mosquitos year round. I only hope that I didn't do too much damage from the revolution. They also sell a book called The Goldsteins' Wellness and Longevity Program, buy it! It will answer alot of questions. There is also another book The Nature of Animal Healing. written by Martin Goldsteins. They are brothers and both Holistic Vets. Good Luck and do your best for your babies. |

| Last week my neighbors boxer was acting very weird, he was running around like he couldn't see and he looked funny in his eyes. We noticed he had a flea collar on and he has never wore one before. We took the collar off him. He is fine now but I think that the flea collar caused that reaction. It was really hot out and I think that his sweat glands absorbed too much of the toxic chemicals. My dad always told me to never put a flea collar on my dogs. I seen first hand what they can do last week and I would never put one on my little babies. Can you imagine what that could have done to our little yorkies if it caused that reaction in the big boxer. |

| I use advantage on Cuddles, and I have never seen a flea/tick on her. She is 15 months old, and never had fleas. Seems to work well. Blessings |

| Flea prevention I live in FL, fleas are a problem. Tricksie rarely goes outside because she wants to eat lizards or anything that moves. I tried Advantage and she had fleas, switched to Frontline and still find one or two once in a while. My husband brought home an Australian Sheppard that was in the garage for a while until I found fleas, bought Raid flea bombs and after 3 treatments they were gone, needless to say, that dog is in a dog house outside, only at night, she goes to work with my husband every day. Also, Raid flea killer plus spray for carpets and furniture, in a purple can, works wonderful. Luckily most of my home is tiled. It is safe for kids and pets but I always let the area dry out for several hours before entering.

| We have Dudley on Frontline and it is $15.41 with tax a month. It helps, he had a couple of ticks on him but they were dead quick. We have seen no fleas on him at all. Good luck. Chip must be puppy pad trained since you said you don't take him out much? |

| I worked for a vet for 8 years & have always used Frontline & have never seen any fleas the whole time. Ticks will still attach, but will soon die. Flea collars are not that effective overall, just around the head/neck area. Be sure to pull ticks straight out with tweezers to prevent the head from breaking off. I would stay with Frontline. It is a bit expensive,but it works real well. Hope this was helpful. |
