Alternative Medicine for Pets/addisons disease

Question
My year old dog has been diagnosed with Addisons disease and cannot now be given chemical based flea/worming treatment, nor vaccinations.
I am anxious to find natural products as an alternative for flea/worms in particualr as we have children in the family.

Answer
Hi susan - See if you can find something like this - Critter oil-
All natural and safe for the dog, bedding and yard.

LOOK at the ingredeints in the critter oil - make your own.

Some folks do well putting some cedar oil and a drip of orange oil in a spray bottle.
Do a little research on Essential oils and dog/flea tic protection.

Good luck
Marie
