Our 8 month golden retriever had seizures from Simparica trio. It started 2 hours after giving it to him. We were thankful after about 3 weeks they stopped. The vet told us it wasn’t caused by Simparica, it was an underlying issue. Which I don’t believe.
The FDA would disagree with your vet. They put out a warning, which is huge when it come to the FDA caring about pets, that one of the active ingredients in Simparica, along with a host of other flea and tick meds was found to cause seizures, some resulting in the death of cats and dogs. You can find it online. Frontline has a different ingredient and was not listed, but it is a pesticide.
I was giving my golden Simparica trio too. Nothing happened to him 🙏 but I stopped giving him. I seen a few reviews on it I didn’t like. Now I’m trying to look for something natural to protect him. I never gave my 5 Yorkies any meds for fleas and ticks and they lived till 16-17 yrs. old.
Great information, thank you for posting. When my two cats were 8 months old, I treated them with a commercial flea medicine. I did it a second time, a month later. I found your page, and several others, that address putting toxic chemicals on our pets. I now vacuum frequently and spray my house with a natural flea treatment. No more chemicals on or in my cats!
The reactions our pets are having from these flea/tick medications are heartbreaking! The vet sent us home from our first appointment, for our 4 month old rescue, with a "welcome bag" with a free toothbrush, a free toothpaste sample, and a free simparico trio sample. 10 days after the simparico trio our Lily began waking up 3-5 times a night with what we thought were vivid night terrors. Our vet prescribed us benedryl to help her sleep, then rimadyl in case she was in pain, then trazodone for if it was anxiety, none of which fixed the nightmares. Finally they started happening in the evening while Lily was sleeping on the couch and we could see her reaction when she woke up. We realized she had a physical response as well. Loss of balance while trying to sit up and star gazing (neck goes back and looks at the ceiling), in addition to the immense fear response crying and yelping. We immediately reached out to an emergency vet clinic (not our primary vet) and they told us to bring her in right away as she was likely suffering from complex partial seizures. 3 nights in the ICU later, after multiple attempted discharges and readmissions through the ER, Lily has finally just made it through her first night back home with us seizure-free after being put on both Keppra and Phenobarbital. We're praying Lily continues to respond positively to the medication and doesn't go back to nightly cluser seizures. During the day and when not sleeping, Lily's the most perfect, beautiful puppy. This whole thing is BEYOND heartbreak. I need to remember to thank my vet for the "welcome bag". 😭
PHENOBARB WILL SLOWLY DESTROY THE RENAL SYSTEM. I DETOXXED my pekepom and got him off phenobarbital in just 4 weeks. Detox: Diatomaceous Earth, Bentonite Clay, Boron (20 mule team laundry). THEY GIVE OUR DOGS SEIZURES AND THEN THEY SELL US MORE MEDICATION TO KILL THEM.
What's he supposed to do..solve all your problems for you? Keep doing your Research. There's always alternatives. But that's where ones own personal opinions and science come into play 🤔
Our Yorkie was on NexGard F&T and was having seizures. We then remembered they started around the time we started using NexGard. Stopped giving it to her and she hasn’t had a seizure since.
I like your explanation. Your expression truly tell that you want to help many pets owner to stop harmfull flea medication which has many bad implication. I believe you said this, it's because of love. And you love your pets so much and you don't want to hurt your pets by harmfull medication. Thank you for saying the truth. As a parent of my pet, I appreciate your great video! FYI, my cat has got seizure after take that harmfull meds to get rid off flea. I'm so sorry to my cat for making her illness. Luckily, my cat is safe now. Then, i would never use such a bad medication again! If you are pet owner, and you see this. Please find natural ingredient things for your lovely pets❤
Effective for me is to keep my dog area grass extremely short and bagged up grass clippings, my theory is that the area is to dry for fleas to reproduce, not sure but I stopped using flea and tick meds 5 years ago without issue, but at the same time my house did not have any fleas either and with new carpet and tile floors. Years ago I applied flea and tick meds to a 12 pound female jack russell and she went temporarily deaf for 2 weeks from the application. We have got to find other solutions for our pets and humans alike. Chemical companies rarely do studies on the long term effects of their products. Treat your pets like family because they are❤️
I use Citus Incanus dried leaves daily in their food, during the flea season. When we go out hiking in woody/brush areas I spray with Tropiclean: Natural Flea and Tick spray. I never use pesticides, of any kind.
i can only guess that you are getting great results. where do i find citus incanus & tropiclean? my dog is going some where and getting reinfected with fleas! the first dose of frontline was starting to get them under control then she came up with them again. she lives in the house so we don;t need ANY fleas.
A huge thank you Rodney. You & Dr. B have helped SO much. I always share your videos. I have 11 dogs & lots of cats, we have no fleas, worms or ticks. I think a raw/bal diet, no toxins & a strong immune system are the key. 🥰 I live on a rural farm.
Renee a lot depends on where you live. For instance Lungworm is mostly on the east side of America, although has spread in Canada and the UK. In the UK, they think it is because people have been travelling with their dogs from one area of the country to another. In the UK, one in five foxes have the parasite, and there are different types of the parasite and some are fatal. I took my 6 month old puppy to a pedigree training session and when he came back I saw a flee on him for the first time. He'd been to the groomers the day prior, so there were no flees on him then, or prior to that evening. Has far as the fox lungworm parasite, he could've picked that up from anywhere, drinking from puddles, smelling an infected dog's poop, licking an infected snail or their trail, eating grass with the parasite. Big choice when it is in the rural areas, it spreads easily if people don't pick up their dogs stools, or get their dogs tested on a regular basis.
What do you do? I have a lot of animals too! I hate putting these products on my babies! What are you doing for all of yours to keep them flea and tick free? I'm at a loss, I don't know what to do!
@@susan4981 Hi Susan. I follow Dr. Becker, Rodney Habib & follow Dana Scotts Dogs Naturally Magazine articles. I research. Here's my routine: *Feed raw/balanced diet. *Do a yearly detox with Dandelion or Milk Thistle tincture. *Feed appropriate natural suppliments according to the particular needs of that dog. I have a good natural vet to help with anything they need which is usually just heartworm testing since I do not feed heartworm prevention. *Feed organics...sauercraut & ground pumpkinseed to discourage parasites & support the immune system. *Feed Omega fatty acids from various sources to fight free radical damage. Sardines, coconut oil, flax seed oil, mct oil, etc... *I feed probiotics to build the immune system & digestive enzymes. *I feed apple cidar vinegar about 3 times per week. *I feed my home made bone broth & collagen to support joint health. Thats pretty much it other than feeding various natural suppliments for remedies. I do rescues who come to me with cancer, heart disease, lung disease, liver or kidney disease, seizure disorder, immune system problems & allergies. I've had great results. I was able to stop seizures in 2 of my dogs with a long history of them. 1 dogs had only 20% kidney function, the other had a little more kidney function. They were both healed. My liver failure dig is healed. The lung disease & heart disease digs are incredibly improved. They each get natural suppliments for those conditions. I do 2 more things: *They are isolated on my property. I am rural. I do have bears, mountian lions, cyotes, racoons, skunks & opossums. *They get no exposure to chemicals, shampoos, commercial or processed foods, no fertilizers, air freshners, household cleaners, bug sprays, automotive stuff, no flea/tick/wormers, no vaccines, no commercial veterinary products... *
@@reneeolson4881 wow you do a lot! That's great! So what do you do for treatments in the house and yard? I'm trying to go all natural but it's hard to find what is truly safe for cats and dogs. "I have both". Every one says something different. My vets and their personnel think I'm a horrible pet parent because I don't overload with vaccines and flea topics. I'm neglecting them. I have recently started using coconut oil on them for fleas, and diatomaceous earth and Dawn dish detergent for the yard and house. Mostly Dawn dish detergent for inside I don't really like the diatomaceous earth because it makes such a mess and I want to be safe with it so still trying to research what to do about the house and the yard pretty much but that's about the only thing that I have searched and discovered that's safe. Still trying to figure it out about the Heart Guard remedy and the outside dogs around their areas to keep mosquitoes off of them and get everyone off of Heartgard but I know my vets will be very upset with me.
I have used this on my pets before but, usually, I never had to use them more than a few times because they worked so good. I did use an anti-flea product on my cat once and he went into seizures. I had to bring him to the emergency vet BUT, when I switched over to Front Line, the seizures never happened again with him or any of my future pets.
I would love a video about heartworm meds. I do not use flea / tick meds and use effective natural repellants however I have been unable to find a trustworthy heartworm prevention, and heartworm disease is very scary! I would hate to have to give my dog heartworm meds but I also worry that he could get heartworms without it. Thanks for everything you do!
Preventive care. If the animals immune system is strong they will fight off naturally. Just test every four months. If test comes up positive look for walnut worm preventative care. Be careful though.. google information..
Heartworm is a scam It's not a pandemic It is easily prevented by not keeping your dog outside all the time.. and if you really wanted to make sure if you are still scared... Use a tincture of black walnut hull wormwood and clove once a month or every other month or in the Summers hottest times... You will never have a problem...I live near two ponds .. all my dogs have never gotten heartworm meds.. they all lived into their late teens... Al medium and large dogs
Excellent info. My wife and I have been making our own flea and tick for over a decade with natural ingredients. More ppl need to open their eyes to this stuff. Great job. Just make sure it's human grade oils not the diffuser oils.
@@usa2342 Tick/flea receipe: Glass spray bottle 1 cup filtered water 20 drops of lemongrass oil 20 drops of cedar oil Store out of sun & heat No contact to face or Cats
Thanks for this everyone. I also feel like I am being taken advantage of by the drug companies with this too. I love my pup "but he is just a dog" but spending 50$ a month on a 5cent dose pisses me off. I also don't trust it. I wouldn't eat it... but I dont want my dog to get sick from parasites either.
I am also of the opinion that the use of spot-on treatments depends heavily on the environment in which one lives. Here in the Bavarian Forest, we have a tick hotspot. The likelihood of the animal and the human getting infected with a tick-borne disease is much higher than the risk posed by using a spot-on treatment. It's just the way it is here. During the peak season, we find around 20-30 ticks on an untreated animal, especially after a single walk (!) in the woods. With the spot-on treatment, it might be just 1 or 2 ticks that can be easily removed from the fur. Biological remedies are of no use. It's not like we haven't tried alternatives. A friend of mine now has Lyme disease because of a tick bite like that. I try to limit the use of spot-on treatments to three times a year, but as the tick population worsens here every year, it's challenging.
I’m very grateful for the info, I don’t know if it’s the presentation style, but I find myself equally grateful that I don’t need to interact with this energy level on a regular basis. ITO the video as a product, it’s a no for me ITO subscription, sharing etc.
I have used Frontline for decades WITHOUT HARM. IMHO, a lot of VERY DANGEROUS NEW F&T products have been introduced which appear to be causing the seizures, etc., in pets over the last few years. I am very suspicious this guy uses the FRONTLINE PACKAGING while talking about a lot of possible problems that are IMHO BEING EXAGGERATED and have no relationship to the seriousness of SEIZURE OR DEATH which is being reported in huge numbers I have never heard before. I am 74 years old and have had many pets and used Frontline for decades on cats and dogs WITHOUT PROBLEMS. BTW, I find monthly applications is usually overkill; the treatments last for usually several months. If organic F&T can work for you, GREAT! Unfortunately, in a very infested environment, they may not work.
My English bulldog 3 years ago started to have head tremors. They said head tremors are common in this breed, then they said is because of low sugars and bla bla... the vet wanted to send my dog to the specialist, charged me big money for any kind of tests.... I started to do my own research like I always do and most of the time is like I resolve my problems, I discovered about the fleas medicine that can cause a lot of neurological problems... so I stopped to use those medicine on my bulldog and guess what?! Never a single head tremors again!!! Plus he never got a fleas either... so when I saw the vet again and I said to her that has soon I stopped the fleas meds my bulldog didn’t have head tremors anymore, she said : “ ok I give to you a different brand then “. Of course she never saw me again! One think I learned owning dogs: I have to stay away from dog food, fleas/ticks meds and annual vaccinations. And I have a beautiful, healthy and happy English bulldog with not even allergies!
I do the same and my dog is healthy. No commercial food, no flea, tick, heartworm preventives either. And guess what, my dog doesn't have fleas, ticks or heartworm. She is my third dog, so I have been doing this for at least 25 years and my dogs all healthy. I feed them home cooked meals.
@@MarthitaBeKe I’m happy to hear that!!! I don’t even vaccine my dog anymore once I discovered that with a blood test we are able to know if the pet need a vaccine or not, so that’s what I’m doing every year with him: blood test! It’s been 3 years and the result is that he doesn’t need vaccines! I discovered the blood test thing from Doct. Karen Becker. Too many pets are dying because they are over vaccinated and it’s all because of those little pieces of papers that we called “money”.
Yes, I forgot to mention that I don't vaccinate my dogs either. I do the titer test and the vet is amazed that my dogs has the antibodies already from the original vaccines when she was a puppy. My baby is a happy dog, with a strong inmune system.
I found Springtime Supplements-Garlic Chews for animals. 2 dogs of my dogs eat it willingly, and 2 of them I have to put in their mouth to swallow. They keep the smell of garlic on their skin (not noticeable to me) and works as a repellent. It keeps the mosquitos off too. I do not give my pets any meds at all. I also make non cooked, dog cookies, containing DE (use like flour). Usually, a combination of DE and virgin Coconut Oil, with pumpkin or chicken broth or anything else they like as flavoring and are not allergic to. Keep in the freezer til used. I have a pond in the yard and deer and other wildlife here, Lots of ticks. Very few ticks bite and if they do, they usually die on the skin, unless they just got there. I am a big believer in Garlic. I also eat garlic daily and have had ticks on me, they have always been dead when pulled off. Good luck.
DE as ingredients for cookies will do nothing I think. DE sprinkled around your house or on your pets will destroy the exoskeleton of fleas then they dry out and die
It’s all about the risk/benefit assessment, and that is something that each person needs to decide on with their vet, taking into consideration their local risk factors and lifestyle choices. For us, we live in an area with high rates of Lyme disease, and a few other nasty things that we, the dog, and the indoor cats could get from any ticks brought into the house after a walk in the nearby forest. One of the dogs at the park got Lyme disease from an early season tick, before they started their nexgard for the year, so we have assessed the risk of tick bourn disease to be very high with a high likelihood of having lifelong health complications, and after talking with the vet have kept up the monthly treatments of the tick prevention medication year round so that we don’t get Lyme disease from an unseasonably warm weekend walk in the woods like that poor dog from the park did.
I agree with you that it is about risk to benefit depending on where someone lives. I disagree with you, however, that a dog owner "needs to decide on with their vet...." I disagree that the vet's opinion should play a role given that vets are brainwashed by big pharma in vet school to actually believe that there is no risk to any of these products even when the statistics show otherwise. For those vets who are able to think outside the box and still deny that there are any side effects, well, they are just after profit.
All I use is Apple cider vinegar, coconut oil, pumpkin seeds, nigella seeds, diatomaceous earth and garlic. Also rosemary and sage and cedar wood oil are excellent.
I love this and it is intuitive to know these chemicals are awful. I am not sure how to manage ticks and fleas when they get out of hand in the summer.
i'm glad i trusted my instinct in not buying flea treatment recently. I have used food grade diamatious earth(ground plankton) for our cat fleas. using the smallest amount,outdoors, then comb out all the dead fleas and remaining powder, before she starts self cleaning. so easy & cheap. i saw instant relief for her and no weird side effects!
Just before your video popped up on my feed, I went to answer the doorbell and it was a salesman riding a Segway trying to sell me lawn treatments for fleas, ticks, mosquitos, etc.... I asked for a business card or some other literature to read over beforehand...of which he had none. No thanks!
@Rodney Habib thanks for the information. Do you have some suggestions/recommendations as to how we can prevent and treat the fleas/ticks naturally? Also, heart worm preventatives such as heartgard also have seizures/convulsions as a side effect; are there suggestions for coming off heartgard as well? Thank You.
And make no mistake, when you put spot on fipronil on your dog, it is infusing into your skin and that of every member of your family when you pet your dog. Some have speculated that pregnant women are harming their developing babies by being exposed to spot ons on their dogs. May be a link to the rise in autism or the autism may arise in a young toddler who interacts with the dog. Fetuses, toddlers and kids have developing brains so these chemicals would be expected to be more harmful to puppies and young humans.
What do you recommend using instead? I prefer alternative methods and am currently using natural sprays and EM collar, but I am afraid they are not as effective...
I just got my dog in a shelter less than a yr ago. They gave her those vaccines before they release her to me. I just give her fresh 1 clove mince garlic in her home made food once a day. She's no longer scratching, the sore she had in her stomach for almost a yr disappeared, her dandruff gone. Her fur is glossy. I will not resume her bravecto when it expires this year.
On the 29th of September, 2021, the vet gave my 6 month old puppy Nexgard for three months, and one tablet of a different product. The second product box was labelled but there weren't any information about it in the box. In the Nexgard box I can't find a list of whats in it, in the instructions. These pills were given to my puppy for Fox Lungworm, the laboratory found one larva of of it.
Thanks for the information this is crucial.theres also the factor of transdermal absorbstion into pet owners and anyone contacting the pet with these pesticides over a prolonged exposure period and the cumulative affects of that especially for people with nervous system sensitivities as the isosasoline stuff similar to thujone from plants in its action upon the gaba
What is the better alternative because fleas will also hurt my cat and cause disease and death and tape worms that can affect your pet and spread to other animals nearby and even sometimes humans. fleas in the house are a major pain it's been 6 months and I'm still fighting these pests indoor we own 5 cats and it's hard to keep up with the constant cleaning vacuuming treating carpets and keeping up with washing blankets and bedding. Without useful flea products to help.
My dog got a terrible cough. It was lungworm . She was treated and is now on preventative. She is a collie cross 1in 100 collies gets epilepsy from fleas pill,. In the side effect leaflets . She was given it by a VET! She fitted, it was me looked at the side effects, I told the vet as I removed to another practise.
I watched my neighbor's dog go from this sweet girl to a vicious beast. If my neighbor so much as touched her she was shoeing clear signs of aggression. He gave her bravecto every 3 months, including through our Canadian winters.. Unfortunately, she was snatched by a coyote a few years ago but I cannot imagine how aggressive she would be today. I tried telling him to stop the bravecto a couple years prior and he refused. He now has a border collie, aka dog with MDR1 gene, so I've been terrified that this dog is going to end up seizing. Luckily, he has never given this dog these treatments and finally believes me when I say I haven't had a flea problem in almost 15 years
We have a flea issue (I'm new to this). Clinic gave my 1 year boxer pup chewable and I immediately read the back. Seizures came up and I tossed it. Absolutely not giving my dog that stuff. Esp since he's a pure bred and prone to seizures.
Use pure coconut oil greasy but it works ww had a bad infestation house and cat treated house with sprays and cat with oil its harmless to cats and dogs you can wash off after a couple of days but I just leave it so I do this twice in one month not seen one flea since .
As a retired animal control officer of 27 years on the job, I have always had Bloodhounds, and they require a mile long walk every day. I live on a farm in Virginia that has a healthy population of deer. Some years I have returned home from that walk having discovered as many as thirty deer ticks on me and or my dog. (I always wear Khaki colored pants and stop about every three minutes to take a quick look at the legs of the pants, often seeing deer ticks that I have picked up. Have been walking my dog in these fields for at least thirty years and have discovered an amazing phenomenon that has never failed. It's hard to believe I know, but it is absolutely true. My bloodhounds head (the top) is light brown, and I find that if I examine the top of her head about every three minutes when we get home I will see a/or several deer ticks that have come to the surface (on top of her hair), and can easily be picked off and killed. I look for about a half hour after we get home. Sometimes of course I find none, but I find that if she has picked up any deer ticks they will present themselves EVERY TIME. Does not work for dog ticks, but deer ticks Yes. I find that if one day I am not diligent about this process, she will have a swollen deer tick somewhere on her in a day or two. As you know, deer ticks are so small that you will not find them under the fur until they swell up with blood. But if I take the time and pay attention to her head when we get home I will spot EVERY deer tick that she has picked up. AMAZING
Flea pill Comfortis by Elanco killed both of my Bichon Friese dogs I still have not recovered from my stupidity as I had forgotten from 13 years ago there is a natural way to treat fleas. With peppermint oil mostly in water with a spray bottle. But my precious little boys both died from seizures and it was horrific!
My beloved corgi just died of liver cancer (technically, the surgery killed him, oh the guilt) and I know of so many liver cancers in dogs over the past year or two. I am thinking it has to be the flea and tick meds.( I never put pesticides on my lawn ironicallyy) Worse? My dog still got lyme 3 times in his lifetime .
I used vets best “plant base” formula on my outdoor dog. His fleas doesn’t bother him, once I applied this formula, he starts itching and biting himself. I guess I need to stop this, since it doesn’t help him anyways.
Yes, my poor cat immediately started foaming at the mouth with bravecto and looked confused after she stopped foaming from the mouth and moving her tongue around
I live in the woods with lots of deer around, and I deal with a major tick infestation each Spring. I am in Georgia and I HAVE to use heartworm preventative since there is swampy area down the hill from my property. I used the heartworm 6 month shot and I've noticed that it also prevents fleas and ticks from sticking to my dog. The ticks ride on him from outside to inside and get on me. I don't want to give him shots, but heart worms are more dangerous in my area. I've started working 12 hr night shifts and I pay someone to keep my dog the nights I work because he doesn't like staying by himself so long. They started finding ticks coming off of him in their house and freaked out, so I had to give him Bravecto to keep the ticks off or I would have lost the sitter. Now, I'm worried. When I say tick infestation, I mean that I find about 20 ticks on me each time I cut grass, and have had about 8 attached to me and most came off of my dog onto me and that was in about 3 days time. I don't want to use pesticides, but I don't know what else to do. Ticks are only bad in the early spring.
Other than what this good doctor is saying, something like less than 1 in 10,000 dogs will experience the side effects, and it's likely to be much lower. So while we need to be cautious we shouldn't exaggerate the risks when there are potentially more benefits, and when it's used to prevent diseases like Lyme disease, which are potentially fatal.
U can use diatomaceous earth (food grade) in your yard, as well as on your animals…just make sure it is the Food grade as it’s safe for pets…if you’ve never heard of it research it and see all of its benefits.
There are esstial oils like patchouli that ticks hate. Also what the other person said, diamotatous earth. Works on fleas and ticks, just a powder you can work into the coat. Also put in the bedding. You can take it too.
Dr Jones is a holistic vet and his channel is Veterinary Secrets. His home remedies actually work but since they are more natural, there is more effort involved. For fleas and ticks he uses DE.
I personally don’t use all these chemicals on Cookie. She is epileptic and I’m super careful about what all is used for her treatment. It’s not surprising that these are the results of this test. My common sense told me none of these chemicals were healthy
What are we suppose to do for our animals!? I'm so scared to use anything! I have cats and dogs and they have fleas! What is safe to use?! I love my animals and don't want to harm them! They are putting their trust in us! I'm hearing bad stuff about all of it. What do we do?! I hate fleas and ticks! Do you know of anything that can help but be safe?
The tick problem is so bad up here in Northeast Massachusetts every time I put the medicine on the back of my cat's neck I feel wrong about it I wish I knew a better way to protect him.
This alarming! I have to use heart worm meds after having adopted dogs already sick with this. I am also using nexgard because we live in the woods. I have had Lymes myself three times and two of my dogs have had erlichiosis. Frontline did not work well for us and one of our dogs did NOT do well with the Seresto collar. In fact- her fur has never been the same. We adopt old dogs from our local shelter and they are often sick - yikes- what do we do?
FYI,,There's was Nationwide Recall on Seresto Flea Collars know killing dogs,,lm glad l watched THIS,,lm going to mix a natural flea med from my vet and see if it works
I washed my outdoor dog with dawn soap, vinegar, vitamin e and water. Fleas dye instantly. I also do sponge bath. Dilute apple cider vinegar in water. Get small towel, dip in diluted vinegar. Clean dog with towel.
Earth Animal flea and tick. It takes about a week or two to really start working but it's amazing. Use FOOD GRADE Diatomaceous earth on your yard..it'll kill the adults in 24 hours but you'll have to apply for a few months once a week
Thanks for this informative video! Did you guys know that Bravecto Plus for Cats does not contain fipronil or isoxazoline? Perhaps it’s still safe enough to use as an alternative to Frontline. Update: I just read the Bravecto insert and it says fluraner is a type of isoxazoline :(
I also watched a video from another person saying that bravecto is also not safe. Holistic vets do not like chemical-based anti-flea products. They give other more natural remedies like diatomaceous earth etc.
OMG my vet sold me Bravecto for my dog. I noticed it was a 3 month dose and thought wow this must be so strong and just how safe is it. My gut said NO do not give to my dog and I went on You tube, there is a lawsuit going on for this product. I will be sharing this information with the vet and asking for my money back. Folks plz research

Our 8 month golden retriever had seizures from Simparica trio. It started 2 hours after giving it to him. We were thankful after about 3 weeks they stopped. The vet told us it wasn’t caused by Simparica, it was an underlying issue. Which I don’t believe.
The FDA would disagree with your vet. They put out a warning, which is huge when it come to the FDA caring about pets, that one of the active ingredients in Simparica, along with a host of other flea and tick meds was found to cause seizures, some resulting in the death of cats and dogs. You can find it online. Frontline has a different ingredient and was not listed, but it is a pesticide.
Of course the vet is going to say that. Just like when you take your baby and they get vaxxed. "Oh, it can't be the vaccine".
My 2 years old shiba inu also suffered seizures due to Simparica trio.
I was giving my golden Simparica trio too. Nothing happened to him 🙏 but I stopped giving him. I seen a few reviews on it I didn’t like. Now I’m trying to look for something natural to protect him. I never gave my 5 Yorkies any meds for fleas and ticks and they lived till 16-17 yrs. old.
Find a new vet!
Finally a channel that advocates/ or speaks facts for dogs. Appreciate it!
He's advocating for all pets. Why are many "dog people" self centered and even hateful towards other popular pets
@@StarryGreen33 Because cats suck ass they annoying and won't do nothing for you 😅😅
Great information, thank you for posting. When my two cats were 8 months old, I treated them with a commercial flea medicine. I did it a second time, a month later. I found your page, and several others, that address putting toxic chemicals on our pets. I now vacuum frequently and spray my house with a natural flea treatment. No more chemicals on or in my cats!
The reactions our pets are having from these flea/tick medications are heartbreaking!
The vet sent us home from our first appointment, for our 4 month old rescue, with a "welcome bag" with a free toothbrush, a free toothpaste sample, and a free simparico trio sample. 10 days after the simparico trio our Lily began waking up 3-5 times a night with what we thought were vivid night terrors. Our vet prescribed us benedryl to help her sleep, then rimadyl in case she was in pain, then trazodone for if it was anxiety, none of which fixed the nightmares. Finally they started happening in the evening while Lily was sleeping on the couch and we could see her reaction when she woke up. We realized she had a physical response as well. Loss of balance while trying to sit up and star gazing (neck goes back and looks at the ceiling), in addition to the immense fear response crying and yelping. We immediately reached out to an emergency vet clinic (not our primary vet) and they told us to bring her in right away as she was likely suffering from complex partial seizures.
3 nights in the ICU later, after multiple attempted discharges and readmissions through the ER, Lily has finally just made it through her first night back home with us seizure-free after being put on both Keppra and Phenobarbital. We're praying Lily continues to respond positively to the medication and doesn't go back to nightly cluser seizures.
During the day and when not sleeping, Lily's the most perfect, beautiful puppy. This whole thing is BEYOND heartbreak. I need to remember to thank my vet for the "welcome bag". 😭
PHENOBARB WILL SLOWLY DESTROY THE RENAL SYSTEM. I DETOXXED my pekepom and got him off phenobarbital in just 4 weeks. Detox: Diatomaceous Earth, Bentonite Clay, Boron (20 mule team laundry). THEY GIVE OUR DOGS SEIZURES AND THEN THEY SELL US MORE MEDICATION TO KILL THEM.
THANK YOU Rodney for publishing! Word of mouth & sharing links are the best ways I know to raise awareness.
Yes - wonderful info. So what the heck do we use in place of these products???
Omg! Thank you so much!! I’m so glad to have seen this. You just saved my cat. I’m returning this product!
You are a cat superstar!
What is the point of telling us this without alternatives? Not like we can just live with fleas and ticks
Earth Animal Flea and tick
Did you watch the entire video? At the end he explains where to find alternatives.
Seriously? Are you that narrow-minded.
What's he supposed to do..solve all your problems for you? Keep doing your Research. There's always alternatives. But that's where ones own personal opinions and science come into play 🤔
I'd rather he said something about this.. rather then not saying anything at all
Our Yorkie was on NexGard F&T and was having seizures. We then remembered they started around the time we started using NexGard. Stopped giving it to her and she hasn’t had a seizure since.
😅
I like your explanation. Your expression truly tell that you want to help many pets owner to stop harmfull flea medication which has many bad implication. I believe you said this, it's because of love. And you love your pets so much and you don't want to hurt your pets by harmfull medication. Thank you for saying the truth. As a parent of my pet, I appreciate your great video!
FYI, my cat has got seizure after take that harmfull meds to get rid off flea. I'm so sorry to my cat for making her illness. Luckily, my cat is safe now. Then, i would never use such a bad medication again!
If you are pet owner, and you see this. Please find natural ingredient things for your lovely pets❤
Effective for me is to keep my dog area grass extremely short and bagged up grass clippings, my theory is that the area is to dry for fleas to reproduce, not sure but I stopped using flea and tick meds 5 years ago without issue, but at the same time my house did not have any fleas either and with new carpet and tile floors.
Years ago I applied flea and tick meds to a 12 pound female jack russell and she went temporarily deaf for 2 weeks from the application.
We have got to find other solutions for our pets and humans alike. Chemical companies rarely do studies on the long term effects of their products.
Treat your pets like family because they are❤️
diamatious earth.. foodgrade. (ground plankton) kills fleas within 4 hours in my experience.
I use Citus Incanus dried leaves daily in their food, during the flea season. When we go out hiking in woody/brush areas I spray with Tropiclean: Natural Flea and Tick spray. I never use pesticides, of any kind.
i can only guess that you are getting great results. where do i find citus incanus & tropiclean? my dog is going some where and getting reinfected with fleas! the first dose of frontline was starting to get them under control then she came up with them again. she lives in the house so we don;t need ANY fleas.
A huge thank you Rodney. You & Dr. B have helped SO much. I always share your videos.
I have 11 dogs & lots of cats, we have no fleas, worms or ticks. I think a raw/bal diet, no toxins & a strong immune system are the key.
🥰
I live on a rural farm.
Renee a lot depends on where you live. For instance Lungworm is mostly on the east side of America, although has spread in Canada and the UK. In the UK, they think it is because people have been travelling with their dogs from one area of the country to another. In the UK, one in five foxes have the parasite, and there are different types of the parasite and some are fatal. I took my 6 month old puppy to a pedigree training session and when he came back I saw a flee on him for the first time. He'd been to the groomers the day prior, so there were no flees on him then, or prior to that evening. Has far as the fox lungworm parasite, he could've picked that up from anywhere, drinking from puddles, smelling an infected dog's poop, licking an infected snail or their trail, eating grass with the parasite. Big choice when it is in the rural areas, it spreads easily if people don't pick up their dogs stools, or get their dogs tested on a regular basis.
What do you do? I have a lot of animals too! I hate putting these products on my babies! What are you doing for all of yours to keep them flea and tick free? I'm at a loss, I don't know what to do!
If you can help it would be greatly appreciated.
@@susan4981 Hi Susan. I follow Dr. Becker, Rodney Habib & follow Dana Scotts Dogs Naturally Magazine articles. I research.
Here's my routine:
*Feed raw/balanced diet.
*Do a yearly detox with Dandelion or Milk Thistle tincture.
*Feed appropriate natural suppliments according to the particular needs of that dog. I have a good natural vet to help with anything they need which is usually just heartworm testing since I do not feed heartworm prevention.
*Feed organics...sauercraut & ground pumpkinseed to discourage parasites & support the immune system.
*Feed Omega fatty acids from various sources to fight free radical damage. Sardines, coconut oil, flax seed oil, mct oil, etc...
*I feed probiotics to build the immune system & digestive enzymes.
*I feed apple cidar vinegar about 3 times per week.
*I feed my home made bone broth & collagen to support joint health.
Thats pretty much it other than
feeding various natural suppliments for remedies. I do rescues who come to me with cancer, heart disease, lung disease, liver or kidney disease, seizure disorder, immune system problems & allergies.
I've had great results. I was able to stop seizures in 2 of my dogs with a long history of them. 1 dogs had only 20% kidney function, the other had a little more kidney function. They were both healed. My liver failure dig is healed. The lung disease & heart disease digs are incredibly improved.
They each get natural suppliments for those conditions.
I do 2 more things:
*They are isolated on my property. I am rural. I do have bears, mountian lions, cyotes, racoons, skunks & opossums.
*They get no exposure to chemicals, shampoos, commercial or processed foods, no fertilizers, air freshners, household cleaners, bug sprays, automotive stuff, no flea/tick/wormers, no vaccines, no commercial veterinary products...
*
@@reneeolson4881 wow you do a lot! That's great! So what do you do for treatments in the house and yard? I'm trying to go all natural but it's hard to find what is truly safe for cats and dogs. "I have both". Every one says something different. My vets and their personnel think I'm a horrible pet parent because I don't overload with vaccines and flea topics. I'm neglecting them. I have recently started using coconut oil on them for fleas, and diatomaceous earth and Dawn dish detergent for the yard and house. Mostly Dawn dish detergent for inside I don't really like the diatomaceous earth because it makes such a mess and I want to be safe with it so still trying to research what to do about the house and the yard pretty much but that's about the only thing that I have searched and discovered that's safe. Still trying to figure it out about the Heart Guard remedy and the outside dogs around their areas to keep mosquitoes off of them and get everyone off of Heartgard but I know my vets will be very upset with me.
I have used this on my pets before but, usually, I never had to use them more than a few times because they worked so good. I did use an anti-flea product on my cat once and he went into seizures. I had to bring him to the emergency vet BUT, when I switched over to Front Line, the seizures never happened again with him or any of my future pets.
I would love a video about heartworm meds. I do not use flea / tick meds and use effective natural repellants however I have been unable to find a trustworthy heartworm prevention, and heartworm disease is very scary! I would hate to have to give my dog heartworm meds but I also worry that he could get heartworms without it. Thanks for everything you do!
Try contact your local holistic vet. I bet they know natural solution to heart worm meds!
Preventive care. If the animals immune system is strong they will fight off naturally. Just test every four months. If test comes up positive look for walnut worm preventative care. Be careful though.. google information..
What flea/tick preventatives do you use?
@@nicoledoeden4484 Earth Animal Flea/Tick tincture.
Heartworm is a scam
It's not a pandemic
It is easily prevented by not keeping your dog outside all the time.. and if you really wanted to make sure if you are still scared... Use a tincture of black walnut hull wormwood and clove once a month or every other month or in the Summers hottest times... You will never have a problem...I live near two ponds .. all my dogs have never gotten heartworm meds.. they all lived into their late teens... Al medium and large dogs
Excellent info. My wife and I have been making our own flea and tick for over a decade with natural ingredients. More ppl need to open their eyes to this stuff. Great job. Just make sure it's human grade oils not the diffuser oils.
How do you make one?

Earth Animal flea and tick
I need a alternative please for heart worm
@@josieshepherd2483 Interceptor plus
Thanks for this everyone. I also feel like I am being taken advantage of by the drug companies with this too. I love my pup "but he is just a dog" but spending 50$ a month on a 5cent dose pisses me off. I also don't trust it. I wouldn't eat it... but I dont want my dog to get sick from parasites either.
Heart worm is caused by mosquitoes. I’m trying to find natural mosquito repellent.
What should we do then?
Thank you very much for your videos! You doing amazing most needed educating job! Honest and down to point! Thank you!
I am also of the opinion that the use of spot-on treatments depends heavily on the environment in which one lives. Here in the Bavarian Forest, we have a tick hotspot. The likelihood of the animal and the human getting infected with a tick-borne disease is much higher than the risk posed by using a spot-on treatment. It's just the way it is here. During the peak season, we find around 20-30 ticks on an untreated animal, especially after a single walk (!) in the woods. With the spot-on treatment, it might be just 1 or 2 ticks that can be easily removed from the fur. Biological remedies are of no use. It's not like we haven't tried alternatives. A friend of mine now has Lyme disease because of a tick bite like that. I try to limit the use of spot-on treatments to three times a year, but as the tick population worsens here every year, it's challenging.
What's spot on treatment

Very valuable, we have to talk about that more & more. Nobody knows or doesn't want to.

try coconut oil......the lauric acid in coconut oil repels and kills fleas. massage well onto skin regularly.
I’m very grateful for the info, I don’t know if it’s the presentation style, but I find myself equally grateful that I don’t need to interact with this energy level on a regular basis. ITO the video as a product, it’s a no for me ITO subscription, sharing etc.
what is the alternative?
Wonderside is good, plenty of essential oil videos on non toxic bug sprays, Earth Animal has great products.
OMG! Thank you for this significant information!
I have used Frontline for decades WITHOUT HARM. IMHO, a lot of VERY DANGEROUS NEW F&T products have been introduced which appear to be causing the seizures, etc., in pets over the last few years. I am very suspicious this guy uses the FRONTLINE PACKAGING while talking about a lot of possible problems that are IMHO BEING EXAGGERATED and have no relationship to the seriousness of SEIZURE OR DEATH which is being reported in huge numbers I have never heard before. I am 74 years old and have had many pets and used Frontline for decades on cats and dogs WITHOUT PROBLEMS. BTW, I find monthly applications is usually overkill; the treatments last for usually several months. If organic F&T can work for you, GREAT! Unfortunately, in a very infested environment, they may not work.
My English bulldog 3 years ago started to have head tremors. They said head tremors are common in this breed, then they said is because of low sugars and bla bla... the vet wanted to send my dog to the specialist, charged me big money for any kind of tests.... I started to do my own research like I always do and most of the time is like I resolve my problems, I discovered about the fleas medicine that can cause a lot of neurological problems... so I stopped to use those medicine on my bulldog and guess what?! Never a single head tremors again!!! Plus he never got a fleas either... so when I saw the vet again and I said to her that has soon I stopped the fleas meds my bulldog didn’t have head tremors anymore, she said : “ ok I give to you a different brand then “. Of course she never saw me again! One think I learned owning dogs: I have to stay away from dog food, fleas/ticks meds and annual vaccinations. And I have a beautiful, healthy and happy English bulldog with not even allergies!
I do the same and my dog is healthy. No commercial food, no flea, tick, heartworm preventives either. And guess what, my dog doesn't have fleas, ticks or heartworm. She is my third dog, so I have been doing this for at least 25 years and my dogs all healthy. I feed them home cooked meals.
@@MarthitaBeKe I’m happy to hear that!!! I don’t even vaccine my dog anymore once I discovered that with a blood test we are able to know if the pet need a vaccine or not, so that’s what I’m doing every year with him: blood test! It’s been 3 years and the result is that he doesn’t need vaccines! I discovered the blood test thing from Doct. Karen Becker. Too many pets are dying because they are over vaccinated and it’s all because of those little pieces of papers that we called “money”.
Yes, I forgot to mention that I don't vaccinate my dogs either. I do the titer test and the vet is amazed that my dogs has the antibodies already from the original vaccines when she was a puppy. My baby is a happy dog, with a strong inmune system.
@@MarthitaBeKe your pets are in the best hands, your hands! ❤️🌹🐶
Flea and tics I get but what do you use for heart worm. And what vaccines where they giving your dogs? The only vax I do is rabies
So what is the alternative flea and tick treatment I can use for my cats and dogs?

Welcome to Capitalism.
I found Springtime Supplements-Garlic Chews for animals. 2 dogs of my dogs eat it willingly, and 2 of them I have to put in their mouth to swallow. They keep the smell of garlic on their skin (not noticeable to me) and works as a repellent. It keeps the mosquitos off too. I do not give my pets any meds at all. I also make non cooked, dog cookies, containing DE (use like flour). Usually, a combination of DE and virgin Coconut Oil, with pumpkin or chicken broth or anything else they like as flavoring and are not allergic to. Keep in the freezer til used. I have a pond in the yard and deer and other wildlife here, Lots of ticks. Very few ticks bite and if they do, they usually die on the skin, unless they just got there. I am a big believer in Garlic. I also eat garlic daily and have had ticks on me, they have always been dead when pulled off. Good luck.
DE as ingredients for cookies will do nothing I think. DE sprinkled around your house or on your pets will destroy the exoskeleton of fleas then they dry out and die
It’s all about the risk/benefit assessment, and that is something that each person needs to decide on with their vet, taking into consideration their local risk factors and lifestyle choices. For us, we live in an area with high rates of Lyme disease, and a few other nasty things that we, the dog, and the indoor cats could get from any ticks brought into the house after a walk in the nearby forest. One of the dogs at the park got Lyme disease from an early season tick, before they started their nexgard for the year, so we have assessed the risk of tick bourn disease to be very high with a high likelihood of having lifelong health complications, and after talking with the vet have kept up the monthly treatments of the tick prevention medication year round so that we don’t get Lyme disease from an unseasonably warm weekend walk in the woods like that poor dog from the park did.
I agree with you that it is about risk to benefit depending on where someone lives. I disagree with you, however, that a dog owner "needs to decide on with their vet...." I disagree that the vet's opinion should play a role given that vets are brainwashed by big pharma in vet school to actually believe that there is no risk to any of these products even when the statistics show otherwise. For those vets who are able to think outside the box and still deny that there are any side effects, well, they are just after profit.
Your back after long time stay safe 🧿
It’s 5years with my corgi and so far so good 😊 Livibg in Boston and let me tell you how many ticks .
thank you for this information. I will never use this stuff on my pets. very grateful for the research you put into this.
All I use is Apple cider vinegar, coconut oil, pumpkin seeds, nigella seeds, diatomaceous earth and garlic. Also rosemary and sage and cedar wood oil are excellent.
Robert, would you mind sharing the recipe to protect dogs from fleas/ticks?
What’s the solution????
you guys rock in my world! Love you and refer all of you all anytime I try to get your info out to other pet parents.
Yes, I agree. Where are the safe and effective alternates?
Wow i love your video. You have done a great job. Thank You.
I love this and it is intuitive to know these chemicals are awful. I am not sure how to manage ticks and fleas when they get out of hand in the summer.
Just found your channel , Big pharma must hate you but I can’t help but gotta SUBSCRIBED 👍
i'm glad i trusted my instinct in not buying flea treatment recently. I have used food grade diamatious earth(ground plankton) for our cat fleas. using the smallest amount,outdoors, then comb out all the dead fleas and remaining powder, before she starts self cleaning. so easy & cheap. i saw instant relief for her and no weird side effects!
I read only use food grade on pets.
Just before your video popped up on my feed, I went to answer the doorbell and it was a salesman riding a Segway trying to sell me lawn treatments for fleas, ticks, mosquitos, etc.... I asked for a business card or some other literature to read over beforehand...of which he had none. No thanks!
Can I put essential oils like lavender, or cedar wood on my dogs for ticks and fleas?
some essential oils are poisonous so i’d research before putting it :)
try coconut oil......the lauric acid in coconut oil repels and kills fleas. massage well onto skin regularly.
love the high speed info
Thank you for the effort and research done, very valuable information.
Please more information regarding heartworms and treatments for them?????
Okay I don’t see any comments from him where he said he’d drop some alternatives to use.
@Rodney Habib thanks for the information. Do you have some suggestions/recommendations as to how we can prevent and treat the fleas/ticks naturally? Also, heart worm preventatives such as heartgard also have seizures/convulsions as a side effect; are there suggestions for coming off heartgard as well? Thank You.
Yes my question too! I'm so scared of all these products! What are we going to do for our babies?!!
Ivermectin completely safe.
And make no mistake, when you put spot on fipronil on your dog, it is infusing into your skin and that of every member of your family when you pet your dog. Some have speculated that pregnant women are harming their developing babies by being exposed to spot ons on their dogs. May be a link to the rise in autism or the autism may arise in a young toddler who interacts with the dog. Fetuses, toddlers and kids have developing brains so these chemicals would be expected to be more harmful to puppies and young humans.
So what can I use that actually works and safe?
What do you recommend using instead? I prefer alternative methods and am currently using natural sprays and EM collar, but I am afraid they are not as effective...
Treat your yard to prevent fleas & ticks. Keep grass cut short. Make Tick Tubes. Only Natural Pet has natural & safe lawn treatments.

thanks, just picked up new 15 week old pup .we have been training in back field. tics every time.

Thank you for the option.
I just got my dog in a shelter less than a yr ago. They gave her those vaccines before they release her to me. I just give her fresh 1 clove mince garlic in her home made food once a day. She's no longer scratching, the sore she had in her stomach for almost a yr disappeared, her dandruff gone. Her fur is glossy. I will not resume her bravecto when it expires this year.
But Inread everywhere garlic is poisoning to dogs.
On the 29th of September, 2021, the vet gave my 6 month old puppy Nexgard for three months, and one tablet of a different product. The second product box was labelled but there weren't any information about it in the box. In the Nexgard box I can't find a list of whats in it, in the instructions. These pills were given to my puppy for Fox Lungworm, the laboratory found one larva of of it.
You should atleast share the solution in a link
What to use instead of these products?
Thanks for this information!
Thanks for the information this is crucial.theres also the factor of transdermal absorbstion into pet owners and anyone contacting the pet with these pesticides over a prolonged exposure period and the cumulative affects of that especially for people with nervous system sensitivities as the isosasoline stuff similar to thujone from plants in its action upon the gaba
What is the better alternative because fleas will also hurt my cat and cause disease and death and tape worms that can affect your pet and spread to other animals nearby and even sometimes humans. fleas in the house are a major pain it's been 6 months and I'm still fighting these pests indoor we own 5 cats and it's hard to keep up with the constant cleaning vacuuming treating carpets and keeping up with washing blankets and bedding. Without useful flea products to help.
Selamectin. Ask your vet for it.

My dog got a terrible cough. It was lungworm . She was treated and is now on preventative. She is a collie cross 1in 100 collies gets epilepsy from fleas pill,. In the side effect leaflets . She was given it by a VET! She fitted, it was me looked at the side effects, I told the vet as I removed to another practise.
I watched my neighbor's dog go from this sweet girl to a vicious beast. If my neighbor so much as touched her she was shoeing clear signs of aggression. He gave her bravecto every 3 months, including through our Canadian winters.. Unfortunately, she was snatched by a coyote a few years ago but I cannot imagine how aggressive she would be today. I tried telling him to stop the bravecto a couple years prior and he refused.
He now has a border collie, aka dog with MDR1 gene, so I've been terrified that this dog is going to end up seizing. Luckily, he has never given this dog these treatments and finally believes me when I say I haven't had a flea problem in almost 15 years
What do you use instead?

As a retired animal control officer of 27 years on the job, I have always had Bloodhounds, and they require a mile long walk every day. I live on a farm in Virginia that has a healthy population of deer. Some years I have returned home from that walk having discovered as many as thirty deer ticks on me and or my dog. (I always wear Khaki colored pants and stop about every three minutes to take a quick look at the legs of the pants, often seeing deer ticks that I have picked up. Have been walking my dog in these fields for at least thirty years and have discovered an amazing phenomenon that has never failed. It's hard to believe I know, but it is absolutely true. My bloodhounds head (the top) is light brown, and I find that if I examine the top of her head about every three minutes when we get home I will see a/or several deer ticks that have come to the surface (on top of her hair), and can easily be picked off and killed. I look for about a half hour after we get home. Sometimes of course I find none, but I find that if she has picked up any deer ticks they will present themselves EVERY TIME. Does not work for dog ticks, but deer ticks Yes. I find that if one day I am not diligent about this process, she will have a swollen deer tick somewhere on her in a day or two. As you know, deer ticks are so small that you will not find them under the fur until they swell up with blood. But if I take the time and pay attention to her head when we get home I will spot EVERY deer tick that she has picked up. AMAZING

Flea pill Comfortis by Elanco killed both of my Bichon Friese dogs I still have not recovered from
my stupidity as I had forgotten from 13 years ago there is a natural way to treat fleas. With peppermint oil
mostly in water with a spray bottle. But my precious little boys both died from seizures and it was
horrific!
My beloved corgi just died of liver cancer (technically, the surgery killed him, oh the guilt) and I know of so many liver cancers in dogs over the past year or two. I am thinking it has to be the flea and tick meds.( I never put pesticides on my lawn ironicallyy)
Worse? My dog still got lyme 3 times in his lifetime .
Thank you so much. I have seen a lot of pets wuth neurological issues from flea meds lately.
I used vets best “plant base” formula on my outdoor dog. His fleas doesn’t bother him, once I applied this formula, he starts itching and biting himself. I guess I need to stop this, since it doesn’t help him anyways.
Yes, my poor cat immediately started foaming at the mouth with bravecto and looked confused after she stopped foaming from the mouth and moving her tongue around
I thought bravecto was only for dogs? That's the one they are saying has killed a lot of dogs. My mom quit using it
You probably did a shitty job of applying it and they licked at it and their mouth started salivating
So can u tell me the solution?
THANK YOU!!!!! 😮😮😮
I live in the woods with lots of deer around, and I deal with a major tick infestation each Spring. I am in Georgia and I HAVE to use heartworm preventative since there is swampy area down the hill from my property. I used the heartworm 6 month shot and I've noticed that it also prevents fleas and ticks from sticking to my dog. The ticks ride on him from outside to inside and get on me. I don't want to give him shots, but heart worms are more dangerous in my area. I've started working 12 hr night shifts and I pay someone to keep my dog the nights I work because he doesn't like staying by himself so long. They started finding ticks coming off of him in their house and freaked out, so I had to give him Bravecto to keep the ticks off or I would have lost the sitter. Now, I'm worried. When I say tick infestation, I mean that I find about 20 ticks on me each time I cut grass, and have had about 8 attached to me and most came off of my dog onto me and that was in about 3 days time. I don't want to use pesticides, but I don't know what else to do. Ticks are only bad in the early spring.
Ok ok
Start a fire
Other than what this good doctor is saying, something like less than 1 in 10,000 dogs will experience the side effects, and it's likely to be much lower.
So while we need to be cautious we shouldn't exaggerate the risks when there are potentially more benefits, and when it's used to prevent diseases like Lyme disease, which are potentially fatal.
U can use diatomaceous earth (food grade) in your yard, as well as on your animals…just make sure it is the Food grade as it’s safe for pets…if you’ve never heard of it research it and see all of its benefits.
There are esstial oils like patchouli that ticks hate. Also what the other person said, diamotatous earth. Works on fleas and ticks, just a powder you can work into the coat. Also put in the bedding. You can take it too.

This alarming! I have to use heart worm meds after having adopted dogs already sick with this. I am also using nexgard because we live in the woods. I have had Lymes myself three times and two of my dogs have had erlichiosis. Frontline did not work well for us and one of our dogs did NOT do well with the Seresto collar. In fact- her fur has never been the same. We adopt old dogs from our local shelter and they are often sick - yikes- what do we do?
Earth Animal Flea and tick. FOOD GRADE Diatomaceous earth for around your house.
Keep shaved. Avoid tick areas like tall grass. Check constantly. Pray.
FYI,,There's was Nationwide Recall on Seresto Flea Collars know killing dogs,,lm glad l watched THIS,,lm going to mix a natural flea med from my vet and see if it works
So what’s the alternative? My dog scratching until bloody during tick season is less appealing than the side effects.
I washed my outdoor dog with dawn soap, vinegar, vitamin e and water. Fleas dye instantly.
I also do sponge bath. Dilute apple cider vinegar in water. Get small towel, dip in diluted vinegar. Clean dog with towel.
Earth Animal flea and tick. It takes about a week or two to really start working but it's amazing. Use FOOD GRADE Diatomaceous earth on your yard..it'll kill the adults in 24 hours but you'll have to apply for a few months once a week
Thanks for this informative video! Did you guys know that Bravecto Plus for Cats does not contain fipronil or isoxazoline? Perhaps it’s still safe enough to use as an alternative to Frontline.
Update: I just read the Bravecto insert and it says fluraner is a type of isoxazoline :(
I also watched a video from another person saying that bravecto is also not safe. Holistic vets do not like chemical-based anti-flea products. They give other more natural remedies like diatomaceous earth etc.
OMG my vet sold me Bravecto for my dog. I noticed it was a 3 month dose and thought wow this must be so strong and just how safe is it. My gut said NO do not give to my dog and I went on You tube, there is a lawsuit going on for this product. I will be sharing this information with the vet and asking for my money back. Folks plz research
Could a small dog loose their hair from using flea and tick treatment like Fromntline?
OK, so this is news, but what is a viable alternative?
This wasn't mentioned but I am using Simparico Trio on my Yorkie puppy. That ingredient is Sarolaner. Any thoughts?
what do u recommend as a great alternative to these products? dnt want my dog to catch erlichiosis
