Kay 3,709 Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 The dog with the treatment kills off ALL the fleas in the kennel because they don't just stay on the one host, they have a drink and die! When the eggs hatch the same happens again and so on. How can you explain the miracle of no fleas on both dogs after a severe infestation on both? troll e lolly loll so are you saying that if one animals treated then that animal has all the other animals fleas gagging to get on the animal thats been treated including all eggs previously laid in bedding or carpet , how do the fleas know to go to the animal thats been treated with fiprinol please ?

damashaman 1 Posted April 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 Now garlic is hocus pocus methods, Apple cider vinigar is meant to have the same effect but I AM a sceptic with these methods. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
redmoor 0 Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 Damashaman is correct the new Frontline is a Combo flea treatment, it not only kills the fleas on the dog it also treats the dog's environment...in an ideal world the Frontline would be on both dogs, but the fleas will be killed on the untreated dog as fleas only stay on the host for a short time each day..the go on to feed and then come off either into the environment or lay dormant whilst the blood is being aborbed. In the old style Frontline it only treated the dog, not the environment, but this new combo does eradicate the need to treat the house/car/kennel..and from what Damashaman is saying..an other dog also. Its worth always bearing in mind that if your dog has fleas you must also worm against Tapeworms as fleas and Tape infestations go hand in hand..Drontal Plus is the best treatment for tape and roundworm.

bill88 6 Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 Now garlic is hocus pocus methods, Apple cider vinigar is meant to have the same effect but I AM a sceptic with these methods. Apple Cider Vinegar is used on poultry as a preventative treatment,but not cure for worms.It works by making the gut "hostile" to the worms by raising the acid levels.My old man always gave it to his hens and dogs,both as a wormer and tonic.

tote 854 Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 .Drontal Plus is the best treatment for tape and roundworm. Milbemax tablets are supposedly the best wormers on the market. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest ROOSTER Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 WHY not just use advocate as it worms and kill flea's and ticks and ear mites and both manges, if it gets any better it will also make the dinner do the washing up Quote Link to post Share on other sites
