Last summer, I adopted a kitten that was being given away by a neighbor. The kitten was great. The fleas he carried into my home were not.
Within weeks my Pomeranians were scratching and upon examining them I found a small number of fleas on each. Horrified, I treated them all with Frontline, which I regret to this day. One of my dogs had a serious skin reaction from it, and he still suffers from a skin condition as a result.
Obviously, another approach was required, and I started to research a better solution to flea control. The more I read, the more I realized how toxic most pesticide-based flea products for dogs and cats can be.
