I don't see it possible NOT to have any protection living in Florida. Especially since I live so close to the coast, and my dogs visit the beach often where there's tons of sand fleas.
Nothing for fleas, we don't have them here. Heartworm is very rare here as well but I give Nebo monthly pills anyway...it starts with an I I'm not sure if its Ivermectin or Interceptor, something like that...its what my vet carries. ;)
After trying to reword this a billion times, I can't figure out how to say anything and not sound rude. I just seems that you're talking about me, and like I said, I researched this and am comfortable with my decision.Quote:

If I'm going to the beach, camping, will be outside for a long period of time, and am taking my dogs, certainly they will be sprayed vigorously with a natural mosquito repellent.
Not everyone is going to agree, some people will think I'm doing more harm than good, some people will think I'm just cheap, whatever. I'm doing what I know is best for my dogs and that's all that matters.
I don't use any preventatives either. Heartworm is NOT a concern where I live and Bailey has never had a flea.
Nothing. Fleas aren't a huge problem where I live. Dogs do get them, but not often and none of our dogs have ever had them. My dogs are also not on any heartworm prevention as it is not a problem in my area at all...if I lived somewhere that fleas or heartworms were a problem, they'd definitely be on prevention.
