| Couple of ?'s about flea/tick control and nails
Ok, first off, is there a safe flea and tick control product that works? Her vet recommended something called BioSpot, saying that it works just like all the others but is OTC and cheaper. I looked it up online and found a ton of horror stories. This scares me more than I can put into words. My ex-roommates cat died after a night long bout of grand mal seizures, cause.....flea shampoo. I just can't imagine losing my girl like that. Something that's not outrageously priced would be best but more important is her safety.
Also, about how often should her nails need trimmed? My ex-dh use to take her to work with him 3 or 4 times a week so she was always running around on concrete and asphalt, we NEVER had to trim them. Now that he's not around and all of her running around is on grass (and carpet!) and her nails are getting out of control. I'm finding that they're growing out to the point of needing trimmed again within just a few days and in less than 2 weeks are reaching the point where they look like they're going to start breaking off. Can this be right? Or do I have a nail mutant on my hands? Basically I guess what I'm asking is, are weekly nail trims normal or is her groomer going to think I'm batty?  |
