Canine Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia (AIHA & IMHA) - Frontline Spray Products
| So I called a couple of holistic veterinarians in the area to find out about natural flea controls, since it's the season again. They all recommend me Frontline Spray products, not the Frontline Spot On. Anyone can give me recommend if they are indeed safe to use or are there anything else? Thanks a lot. My thoughts and prayers are always with the IMHA dogs and the parents. |

| Hi Evi! I don't have any advice as we are really fortunate to be at an elevation that fleas don't live at for some reason. I just wanted to say hi and send best wishes to you and Buddy. Have you checked to see what is different in the spray vs the spot on? I am so paranoid about everything now and I have to admit my trust is zilch in pharma products. Take care Penny |

| I also have no trust in any of those products. I have been very blessed to not have any problems with fleas or ticks since we have not had a cat LOL. We do see the occasional straggler, but no infestations for 17 years. I do use a bandanna with a couple of drops of essential oil, either lavender, cedarwood, citronella etc. on my dogs when fleas and ticks are at their worst, it also helps some with those pesky mosquitos. |

| I would stay far away from any product that has pesticides as a main ingredient. Frontline products have the toxic chemical fipronil as the main ingredient. I am not certain why a holistic vet would reommend this product in any form. My story has been on this board over the years. My pet almost died from Frontline spot-on and was an AIHA patient being treated for three years due to the product. The word Frontline sounds shivers down my spine. During the year a homeopathic remedy I use is apple cider vinegar in their food. A teaspoon every day. Also I use Avom skin so soft as a topical spray. Jan |
