…isn’t cutting it this year!!
We’ve always had good results with Frontline Plus (which to me is expensive, but hey, if it works…) but this summer, even using as directed, our dogs & cat are still battling fleas! Any cheap but effective remedies you can offer ??

A few days ago, I came to the shocking realization that my 4 dogs and 3 cats have fallen victims to the nasty world of ticks. I’ve already slathered them in Frontline but now I’d like to treat my house and yard. Thank you muchly for knowing more than I do about being a great pet owner. And thank you even muchlier for sharing your knowledge with me.
