PetArmor Plus?

[wolfsoul]

One of the lists I'm on had a big discussion about Frontline Plus; Seems there were ALOT of issues caused by it, anything from severe allergic reaction to seizures. Alot of the same people had no issues with regular Frontline, but many people also found it didn't work.
So anything with the same ingredients would be too scary for me. Myself, I don't use any chemicals on my dogs.

We've used Frontline Plus before and haven't had any issues with it on Lily or Tallulah; however, I read a lot of issues coming up with Frontline Plus when I was trying to find info about PetArmor.

How do you not use anything? Do you not have a flea problem or do you have some other method to control it??? I would be happy not using anything, but the girls always get fleas really bad :/

Up here the climate is really dry and we don't have a flea problem, however lice is REALLY bad up here. I don't envy those with flea problems lol, lice are alot easier to get rid of. Visa got them once and I washed her in all natural laundry detergent (believe it or not -- we used this on all our lice dogs at work) because the main ingredient was coconut, and parasites hate coconut. On the list I'm on, people post recipes for a smelly (in a good way lol) concoction that keeps fleas away. A mix of different herbs and essences etc. I'd probably go that route first. I know what you mean though, if it's a huge problem chemicals are the best way to go to kill them. I just hate the idea of them.

Live in a flea/tick infested area, but do not use pesticides on my dogs. Frontline has caused many reactions and... if it tells me to rinse it off myself, I don't really want to put it on my dog. I use a combination. Sometimes I use Cedarcide

which works awesomely. Kills on contact. And I also use a neem oil. You can also rub edible diatomacious earth on your dogs for protection. Sure, I have to do this a lot more than once a month but it's worth it to me. I'll take the time.

Wow, that must be nice having no flea problems! I couldn't imagine lice though, those are awful. At least you can use natural routes to get rid of fleas, I'm envious!

I'll have to look into some of this stuff. Sounds like interesting alternatives.

I haven't had any problems with Frontline on either dog or cat though, so I'm not sure what we'll end up doing.
