Question
Hi.
I have my first 8 month old French Bulldog.  We live in a area that is very infested with ticks and fleas etc.  I am concerned about using the chemicals recommended for protecting Captain Crunch from these pests this spring.  Is there any natural or homeopathic product that you have found to be effective?  Thank you.

Answer
Garlic and fleas/  Just small amounts of garlic daily can help.
Garlic is very safe for dogs is small controlled amounts.
Don't Forget the NuVET Supplements, the BEST Frenchie Vitamin....
