Description

143: In this short, I share a recent experience with a client whose small dog had a frightening reaction after being exposed to a topical flea treatment meant for their cats. Thankfully, with the guidance of emergency vet Dr. Lynda Loudin, we were able to troubleshoot and figure out what was going on. This episode covers the risks of spot-on flea and tick products, how they impact dogs, cats, people, and the environment, and safer alternatives you can use at home.


Topics Covered: 


→ Are spot-on flea meds safe?


→ Can pets get sick from flea treatments?


→ What are natural flea alternatives?


→ Do flea meds harm the environment?


→ How to spot a dog’s reaction to chemicals?
