| Re: Couple of ?'s about flea/tick control and nails
Well I'll go out on a limb here :)
I actually use none of the products listed and don't buy anything over the counter for flea control. To me, anything you find at the vets are extremely expensive and in *my* experience, it was money flying out the window and did nothing.
I do these 3 things.
1) My dog is bathed with Skin so Soft by Avon with about a teaspoon of Tea Tree Oil.
2) In between baths, I spray her coat with Skin so Soft bath oil and rub it on her belly.
3) After I vacuum I sprinkle some 20 Mule Team Borax on my carpet and work it in by brushing a broom across the carpet.
And I get absolutely no fleas whatsoever for I'd venture to guess 1/3 of the price of those things the vets offices love to sell you :)
Caveat: I do not live in a Tick infested area and have no concerns about that. This is only for fleas.
As far as nail trimming goes, when I do mine, she gets hers done and it's probably about every week to week and a half. |
