I don't know if you've used these treatments for fleas and ticks on your pets, but thought I would post it just in case. These products are killing peoples pets, but are still available in stores. I had some in my 'arsenal' of products, but got rid of them. Check the list, and peoples sad stories at: www.hartzvictims.org/

Yes these products can be horrible . Always take recommendations from a trusted vet . Your vet is most likely a good person that loves animals , so advice from your vet is a definitely must! Love your animals enough to get them the best treament you can .

Yes catdla1, I'm all too aware of all flea and tick treatments whether gotten at a pet store or at a vet's as being highly toxic. I actually did an article over at AC about it. In my article I recommended more natural products for this problem, and many can be found at the Natural Pet website.
