A google search regarding flea season in ...Hi Tuck,<br />A google search regarding flea season in GA brought me to your page. I've been in Augusta GA since last July, when I rented a carpeted home, and in no time my dogs seemed to be covered in fleas, despite being treated monthly with Frontline. I went searching for another type of flea prevention and stumbled upon a product called Flea Treats. They are basically a B-complex vitamin formulated for dogs. It works by creating a smell (non-detectable to humans) in the dog's skin that repels fleas and ticks. After about a month of twice daily doses (I put in their food) they seemed to be flea free but by that time it was fall, so cooler weather may have played a part. Now, it's nearly June again and I check them for fleas daily (they love the flea comb) and haven't found a single flea or speck of flea dirt yet. No ticks either, despite many a weekend hike in the woods. I'm still skeptical, but can't deny it seems to be effective. They haven't been on any other flea product since August of last year. You might want to have your mom check it out. For us, it took a larger dose and longer to become effective than the manufacturer suggested, but in the end, seems to be a success. I give my 75 lb Lab 7 tablets a day and my 32 lb beagle-schnauzer mix 6 per day, so it seems to vary how much a particular dog would need. If you try it, I hope it works for you. I've always hated using topical flea products.Kudzuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05113752330400841114noreply@blogger.com
