There's a reason they will only give your pet one shot per year<br />to help their "summer hotspots" which are caused by flea allergies.<br /><br />1n 1978 I moved to San Felipe, Baja California. With me was John Dog. He got<br />such bad hotspots we had considered euthanasia, because the vet couldn't<br />stop the problem and John Dog was soooo miserable. My parents' place was<br />right on the beach, and there was a pack of local dogs who ran the beach<br />every day. I realized that none of these dogs had any fleas. Not one. The<br />dogs would run for a while, turn and run into the water, then come out and<br />wiggle on the sand. They did this 3 or 4 times a day. My dogs joined them<br />and within 2 weeks John Dog's oozing sores were completely healed, and all<br />his fleas were gone.<br /><br />When I moved back to San Diego, I tested this out. I continued taking the<br />dogs to Dog Beach, letting them swim in the salt water - the fleas stayed<br />gone. I told a friend who had fleas in her house (3 dogs) to quit using the<br />flea collars and especially the flea shampoos and start giving her dogs salt<br />water baths. She made the bathwater salty like the ocean and didn't use any<br />soap and didn't rinse the dogs. All the soap does is wash away their own<br />natural oils which contain very effective flea repellent. In the house, she<br />sprinkled table salt on her carpets, furniture, anywhere the dogs had been.<br />She waited 20 minutes and vacuumed. When we looked in the vacuum bag, we<br />found 1000's of dead fleas! Everyone I have told about this that has tried<br />it has gotten the same results. No more flea collars, summer hotspot shots,<br />flea shampoo, flea bombs. And no more miserable dogs. I have asked many vets<br />if they know about this, and not one did. <br /><br />Try it. I've never seen this NOT work. I would assume it also works for cats, if you can get them into a salt water bath!taxlady3https://www.blogger.com/profile/05856297068710786780noreply@blogger.com
