Are once a month flea spot treatments like Frontline safe?

Have you ever wondered why the instructions say not to get it on your skin? If it is not safe for your skin, is that something you want to put on your pet who lives and in some cases sleeps with you?

The mainstream once a month spot treatments that are recommended by Vets, are poisonous chemicals that you are putting on your pet and every time you touch your pet you are having contact with those poisonous chemicals yourself.

Both over-the-counter and veterinarian-prescribed flea-killing topical treatments are pesticides that enter your pet’s internal organs (livers, kidneys), move into their intestinal tracts, and are eventually eliminated in their feces and urine. Not only that, but the humans and other household animals who closely interact with pets who have been treated with these chemicals, can be affected by the toxins.

All the “active” ingredients in these spot-on preparations – imidacloprid, fipronil, permethrin, methoprene, and pyriproxyfen – have been linked to serious health effects in laboratory animals.

Do natural products really work to get rid of fleas and ticks?

Safe natural flea and tick remedies provided by Mother Earth are not only highly effective but extremely safe. It makes sense to me that we are part of the Earth and that Mother Earth would provide everything we need for health and well being.

I built Alternative Animal natural pet products on this premise and I continue to find alternative and naturally superior methods to conventional chemical and drug therapies.

Dietary Tips for healthy flea repelling dogs

Adding thiamin (vitamin B1) and or brewer’s yeast to your pets daily food can be quite effective at repelling insects. This will give off an odor that can keep insects away but you won’t smell anything.

The biggest key to flea and tick prevention – and to your dog (or cat) having a strong immune system – is proper species appropriate nutrition. A healthy diet of fresh foods (NOT processed kibble or canned foods) will do wonders to keep pests away.

Kelp is another great, little known flea repelling supplement. “The Natural Remedy Book for Dogs and Cats,” says after three weeks of kelp supplementation there is a noticeable reduction in fleas on animals who have an infestation. Buy Kelp HERE.
