Flee treatment for dogs2007-11-25 3:01:01

Has anyone found an easy way to administer Frontline (flee stuff for dogs), no matter how long i take putting on the drops a lot of the liquid seems to roll off my dogs back making his hair wet and i worry not enough is soaking into the skin. my pooch is allergic to flees and now also has mange! same sort of treatment, same sort of problem.

Answers:

I can't advise you on Frontline; I don't use it.

I use garlic powder daily. A flea will not go near a dog or cat that has garlic in his system. The powder is simply sprinkled into your pet's food. There are also garlic tabs to give as treats.

Garlic is also good for the heart, blood and immune system . so it helps fortify the pet's health in multiple ways. In the case of your pooch, it might help boost his immune system to fight off the mange.

There are several brands out there, but they're basically all the same. If you google Garlic Powder For Pets, you'll find a slew of sites from which you can order the powder. Also, many pet stores carry it as well.

( Just as a side-note, if you're worried about your dog's breath, there are also parsley and mint tab treats out there. My dogs love 'em and they work like a charm! )

Best of luck to you and your pooch.

personally all i use is a vinegar rinse and as my dogs are shown they come in contact with a lot of others and i have never had a problem .i don't add any chemicals on or in my dogs unless it is absolutely necessary..but if you want to apply front line move the hair away from the skin and put the dropper in contact with the skin .if you want to use the vinegar rinse its 1 part vinegar and 3 parts water and use it as a final rinse in the bath its also gets rid of any residue of shampoo..
