We should treat our pets the way we want to be treated. Putting insecticides to our pets to kill fleas is really not a good idea. We should keep our environment clean and always make sure that our pets are taking supplements. I totally agree with Stephanie Holt. We should treat our pets the way we want to be treated.

Regards, Brigitte Thanks for these suggestions, Stephanie,

And I’m really happy to hear that your vet seems to have great common sense (so many vets really don’t when it comes to this issue of putting chemicals and other toxins into and onto our pets!)

I have an old country vet that has told me to treat my pets the way I would treat myself. Trust me, I would never put insecticides on my body therefore why would I do that to my beloved pets. Vitamin supplements prevent the need to eat a lot grass. Grass is what a dog will eat to clean their system or to get vitamins and minerals they are lacking. Unfortunately grass is full of toxins as you had mentioned. You can't stop a dog from eating grass from time to time but the vitamin supplement will prevent the need to eat as much grass. Also I have learned that garlic deters fleas and mosquitoes from biting. If your pet has a problem with fleas, rinsing your pet in vinegar will get rid of pest. If the fleas have infested your pet, I found that dandruff shampoo will do the trick. The dandruff shampoo with conditioner added will get rid of the fleas and leave your pet with a soft shiny coat. This is one pet lover that goes with all natural. Believe me it works, your beloved pet and companion will live a longer healthier life.

There is no other explanation that has been offered to you, and you can see from the above article that adverse skin reactions, chronic itching, and autoimmune disease can all be side effects from the use of flea control chemicals including Frontline. The use of antibiotics and steroids (Prednisone) will also have further compromised your dog's immune system. I recommend that you attempt to build your dog's immunity so as to limit the effects of all these chemicals and drugs that your dog has been putting up with. There are many ways to do this. The first is a healthy - preferably raw - diet. Next is to give your dog a good immune support supplement - there is information on the best one I know of - <a href="http://www.HealthyHappyDogs.com/TransferFactor">here</a>. And no further use of chemicals for flea prevention if you can avoid it.

Never sick except for an ear infection that was treated. Then shortly after applying a monthly treatment to her back of Frontline Plus, we saw lesions on her. Took her to one vet who determined it was staph intermedius, but when the soresand she prescribed an antibiotic, but after 4 weeks it didn't get any better and we took her to another vet who biopsied her and did cultures, and because all cultures were negative, the biopsy pathology report came back as sterile granuloma. She has been treated with simplef for 7 weeks and prednisone started out at 20 mg. then now down to 5mg. every other day. She has healed and the vet had to shave her back and all her hair is coming in, but I notice her skin is flaky almost like a dandruff. We use no flea protection on her at all. I live in an apartment complex, well-maintained and they do treat the lawns here. I can't get the Frontline out of my head as a possibility to all of a sudden knoiw she has an Autoimmune skin disease with little being known about it. Any suggestions or comments or studies would be appreciated. Thank you, Peg My Bearded Collie is a female and is 6 year old. Never sick except for an ear infection that was treated.
