Pesticides in Pet Products: Why Your Dog or Cat May Be at Risk
Pets and Pesticides: Let’s Be Careful Out There
Are Over-the-Counter Flea-and-Tick Treatments Really Safe for Dogs and Cats? By M.B. Pell and Jillian Olsen | December 16, 2008
Last June Diane Bromenschenkel applied a flea-and-tick product to her English pointer, Wings, so the dog wouldn’t get ticks while hunting pheasant in the tall grasslands of western Idaho. Wings, a healthy five-year-old with a sleek white coat and a chocolate brown mask, enjoyed long walks in the woods, bacon treats, and burying things in the yard. But three months after the pesticide was applied, the animal was dead.

:Sad: Wow thats absolutely nuts I've seen that stuff used a lot. I used to volunteer for an organizaton called the St.John Feral Cat Fund and every once in a great while we would use the over the counter flea meds to treat the cats up for adoption at PetsMart. I'm shocked to hear that. One of the main reasons why i only use stuff that was given to me by the vet. :confused:

I agree. I used to use Front line, on my cats, but I think they have built up an immunity to it, so I am switching to Advantage now. I like to stay with the top of the lines for safety reasons. The others are just to risky.

Actually my oldest female has an allergy to fleas she breaks out in hives and rips out all her hair, seriously it looks like I shaved her. But anyway,my point a lot of the people around here are usign the frontline on cats and dogs and are finding that it's not working very well anymore. The Advantage is the only thing that works on her without giving her more bumps. :You Rock:

So far the Advantage is working much better than the Front line did......... they have stopped scratching pretty much now.
