We have been using this on our 18 lb rescue terrier mix for the past year, but I am increasingly uncomfortable with putting this toxic stuff on our dog. A reader of Dr. Michael Fox, the vet, wrote to him in last week's Washington Post Animal Doctor column that he'd put Frontline on his (recently ill) cat and that days later he had to be euthanized after developing neurological problems. That scared the bejeezus out of me.
What alternatives exist? Dr. Fox recommends combing/brushing/inspecting daily, but that is just not practical for us. We live in the Mid-Atlantic region, where Lyme disease is rampant, and our dog is very low to the ground and very much a sniffer/inspector. The risk is high.
What do you do?
