Especially if you have recently given flea treatment do not attempt to give it again too soon. I'd Vet too, if it was my dog.


Longblades, Nanook is one of those dogs. He can't have any of those treatments. They cause diarrhea and, sometimes seizures, in him. Anything used on him now is through our Holistic vet which includes Chinese herbs, homeopathics etc. I was truly amazed at how effective that stuff is on certain animals. We are lucky that Nookie is one that responds very well to natural treatments.
