Forum Rules | 1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| Advantix didn't seem to be working too well on my girls for some reason, so I went and bought some Richard's Organics Flea and Tick Spray. It has a pretty strong smell to it, but it's not that bad of a smell and it went away after a day (though it still smells strongly of it on the porch where I sprayed my girls, so I'd recommend spraying on your dog outside and not in the house). It says it lasts 4 weeks, so we'll see how well it works! Siku is a bit allergic to flea bites and will chew/lick her skin raw where she gets bit. Hopefully this will give her bad spots some time to heal.
Anyone else use this product? _________________ -Sara |

| I don't doubt that it would work but you could do it yourself for so much cheaper by just buying the oils yourself and using those. It's basically the same thing, you're just paying a premium for them to mix the oils and give it to you in a nice spray bottle.
I wouldn't count on that stuff lasting 4 weeks though, maybe every week or two seems more realistic. But that will vary based on a lot of factors so I would use it as needed rather than sticking to a set schedule. I use my essential oils on an as needed basis with my dogs these days and it's been months since I last used oils on them and they are all still flea/tick free. _________________ |

| Val, do ya'll treat your yard for fleas too?
I don't mean to hijack, but since the fleas are pretty rampant here I was going to use the oils but wasn't sure if they would be strong enough to fight them. I would love to go the most natural / organic way but if worse comes to worse, I may have to use a flea/tick medicine. _________________ |

| Ashleigh, my husband does use a chemical yard treatment on our front and backyard that does kill fleas and ticks (and much more) 3 times a year. Once in the spring, once in summer, and once in fall. There are woods behind our house and all around us though so I there is definitely plenty of exposure to both fleas and ticks all year round for my dogs and they still don't pick up anything. We have deer, coyotes, foxes, raccoons, opossums, wild rodents, moles, feral cats, more birds than I can mention including very large birds of prey, hawks, eagles, huge owls, etc that all come into our yard regularly due to our proximity to untouched woods. We walk our dogs in the woods and still they haven't picked up a thing. _________________ |
