Скачать или смотреть Reaction to Frontline Plus flea/tick treatment

After a scary and unpredictable week, things have calmed down and Hercules is starting to get back to his old self. We're hoping he's in the clear. To recap: we gave him a vet-recommended flea/tick treatment (Frontline Plus) last Monday and he had a bad reaction. We had used the same brand for two years with no ill effects. Both vets we consulted had never heard of any serious complications from flea/tick products, but if you google the ingredients, you'll find horror stories. US pet owners reported 44,263 incidents to the EPA in 2008 and although most were minor, 600 dogs and cats died that year.

The majority of flea/tick products contain pesticides but non-toxic alternatives do exist (diatomaceous earth, Dawn dish soap, a flea comb, towelling off your dog to get rid of ticks after walks in the woods, etc).
