Guest wylie_coyote Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 So as my wife posted earlier about 2 of your boys being possibly allergic to Frontline I have been searching the internet and greytalk for possible alternatives. First she was mistaken about Frontline we use K9 Advantix because Frontline was not cutting it. Fleas were still around... I see comfortis and a preventic collar for ticks. But I was also looking into "Natural" "green" what ever you want to call it alternatives. I came across Flea Away on one of the Vet suppliers http://www.kvsupply....33#.UMDfqIXrnnI we use. It is a vitamin mix that is supposed to cause a smell to repel fleas and ticks. contains the following: Ingredients: Thiamine 10mg...667% Vitamin E 60 IU...200% Niacin 40 mg...200% Vitamin B6 4 mg...200% Folate 400 mcg...100% Vitamin B12 12 mcg...200% Calcium 200 mg...20% I'm still searching for options but want any help we can get. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJNg Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 It is a vitamin mix that is supposed to cause a smell to repel fleas and ticks. I'm very skeptical that a vitamin supplement would have any effect on fleas and ticks. If it was that easy, any dog getting a high quality multi-vitamin plus B-complex supplement wouldn't need to be on flea/tick products. There's nothing 'special' about that vitamin mix - it's essentially B-complex plus vitamin E and calcium.

GeorgeofNE Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 If all those "natural" and "green" things actually WORKED I suppose everyone would use them. They don't.
