@ Brigette…NO I would not recommend OTC flea treatment for any of my animals. Of course you can do what you need to do because of not being able to afford the good stuff..I DID and I was very sorry and will not do it again..if I have to save a dollar a day I will to get a better product to use on my loved ones.

Promeris can be VERY dangerous. My dog had a severe, and not uncommon reaction to it. It was taken off the market last April due to all the dogs having severe allergic reaction to it compromising their immune system and causing many many problems! My dog now will have to be on immunosuppressants (though it made his immune system shot, it also made his body have an allergic reaction to his skin, as if it’s a foreign substance). Yet, they continue to sell it knowing this! There are class action lawsuits against the company for this! http://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C1TSNF_enUS427US427&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=promeris+allergy#pq=promeris+lawsuit&hl=en&cp=10&gs_id=35&xhr=t&q=promeris+recall&qe=cHJvbWVyaXMgcg&qesig=4ivQ0JP0aknDb_YyYcku2Q&pkc=AFgZ2tkMKkkNAK8b-swW0C2wkjj_KjFyxTokKRvBfscKBap6yLe04FBBEkNHg6rgL_-OHtoAA8jMPyG20G-5EJNk4622QYCQCQ&pf=p&sclient=psy&safe=off&rlz=1C1TSNF_enUS427US427&source=hp&pbx=1&oq=promeris+r&aq=0&aqi=g5&aql=&gs_sm=&gs_upl=&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_cp.&fp=265f5e3edf2ec82b&biw=1366&bih=635

Oh I have a question? Is it normal for a dog to chew on lemon tree “leaves” ?? I have never seen my dog”Roy “do this b4. He did throw them all up..Is it true they do that if their stomachs are upset to make themselves throw up??

THX I have a cat that needs SOME KIND of flea treatment. My dog is on Revolution and thats about all I can afford..I have to make that a priority since he did have Heartworms and was treated..Its a ritual with him. My cat is outdoors now, so I have been treating her in the past.. so far no fleas…After having that bad reaction to OTC products I thought a flea collar would be better than nothing. Do you have any free samples of advantage or frontline for cats.??? Shes about 27 lbs… a BIG GIRL..

I find that flea collars are mostly effective for small dogs and cats.
