When Frontline doesn't work.

WE USE ADVANTAGE AND OUR VET SELLD US THE DOG SIZE, SO WE ARE CAREFUL WITH THE DOSAGE , AND ITS MORE COST EFFECTIVE THAN BUYING INDIVIDUAL CAT PORTIONS.
WE GOT 6 POUCHES , ABOUT 24 CAT DOSES FOR 96 DOLLARS, INDIVIDUAL CAT DOSES WOULD HAVE BEEN OVER 225 DOLLARS.
IF YOU HAVE MANY CATS, IT ADDS UP!!!!

I just found out something interesting. I've never tried it, but it's supposed to work. If you want or need to give your cat or dog a flea bath, add a little bit of 3% hydrogen peroxide to the bath water and it will kill the fleas immediately. How much is a little wasn't specified, but I suppose it would depend on the amount of water you are using for the bath. Just thought I'd pass it on if anyone wanted to try it.

Even plain water, soapy water of any kind, etc will drown fleas. There's no magical formula in any of those bathing additives that are instant flea killers. It's simply drowning them plain and simple.

I can't even count the number of clients anymore I've talked with at work who have had a bad flea problem and tried everything from Dawn dishsoap, to garlic, to borax, to things I can't even remember. And all of them said it didn't work and they wished they'd called us first and saved their money.

Frontline PLUS, Advantage, Revolution - all work to kill fleas if used every 30 days like clockwork.

well, I did treat the floor with combo of borax and baking soda.
And the kritters have been treated.
I haven't bathed Kylie yet.
I treated her on Tuesday so I figured as long as I waited at least 3 days before I bathed her I should be good.
Just not looking forward to bathing either of the cats!

It just isn't fun!

Keegan has an appt on Thursday for grooming.

So, have there been any *sightings* of late?

I Hope NO news is GOOD news!

I told Ed that you said that Kylie had f-l-e-a-s and he wants to know if you were eating anything with sesame seeds, like sushi, near Ms.K. He thinks that it's something sesame and not what YOU think it is.
