We do not treat our dogs on an ongoing basis with any kind of flea preventive, because we do not believe there is anything good you can say about a pesticide rolling around within your pet's insides.

I will admit if it happens, it is a pain in the butt, but most preventatives are not necessarily a cure-all or a 100% guarantee. Having been in Florida mostly, for about 30 years, I have only had one incident with fleas. I think they're pretty good odds for not doing any ongoing treatment.

I cannot believe how so many Villagers are obsessed with unnecessary pest control within their home and with their pet.
Unless you have a problem, none of us should be doing it.

And no, I am not some kind of nut-job. I simply believe in treating a bug problem when necessary and if it occurs.
There is not one good thing you can say about the constant use of pesticides, Period!
