Its that time of the year.. FLEAS.. Here is my friendly warning reminder!

Oh, I forgot to mention that diatomaceous earth worked really well for us when the foster cat brought fleas here. I found it at Rona in the insecticides section. It's very cheap and works! You just sprinkle it all over your carpets, let it sit for a while, then vacuum it up. The only downside is that it's messy and you have to make sure you and Digi don't inhale it.. but it's animal safe (in case she eats a little residue). Might be worth giving that a shot too

Well King, you're preaching to the choir here, as I keep my dogs on
Advantage all year long. Hartgard too. No getting around it, puppies can
be expensive.

Maybe, but what about the new members that might not know, or the people that just read & never post?

Maybe they don't know that Hartz is poison & has killed thousands of pets. Don't they deserve to know?
