I don't know what everyone uses for flea and tick prevention. I'm sure most of you already know about the FDA all over the chemical prevention. (flea collars, topical, fea shampoo) These are all under Federal investigation. The adverse affects of these chemicals are killing pets.
To ultimately prevent fleas and ticks, and other ailments for that matter, you must build up your host. If your pet is fit, trim and healty, they will naturally deter insects. To help aid in detering insects I use a natural flea and tick preventative that is taken orally by my Weims. There are many natural ways out there but the one I currently use is from Earth Animals called Yeast Free Flea and Tick. I absolutly swear by this stuff and it also aids in digestion.
I used to use Springtimes Bug Off Granules, then switched to the tablets. The tablets seemed to have too many fillers in them. Probably to help form the tab. I switched back to the Granule, but the recipe must have changed, because they didn't do so hot on it the second time around. It's still a great product and I'd still recommend it, but my two are doing much better on the Earth Animal product.
I'm also looking into a natural heart worm preventative from Wholistic Pet Organics as an alternative to Heartguard every month.
Check out some of these natural products and tell us what you use
