    Our vet said it is safe for our half-persian to get Frontline flea application as well as a flea/tick tablet at the same time it wont have side-effects.
    A few years later our beautiful cat started getting seizures and died of kidney/heart failure.
    It was a slow and agonizing death
    I have lost any trust in doctors and vets because of that.
    I love that Dr. Katie cares enough to provide natural alternatives - she is a REAL vet.

No vax nothing, her first vet visit was for a checkup and stool test to be sure she's fine. He wanted me to buy the Revolution and that shit killed 2 of my doxies, AIHA both of them from it!! I had 5 doxies 3 passed of vax and or these meds. I swore never to give my new rescue anything that's a drug unless it's a life and death situation and she needs it but this stuff for fleas and ticks, no! I tell the regular vet that I already stocked up for a few years of meds when I was in MX (cheaper), but it's not true, I m not giving her anything.

    VERY INFORMATIVE! thank you so much for posting this! I just had to take my best buddy of 13 years for her last ride to the vet on 1/6/22 . She was diagnosed with advanced stage lymphoma. I firmly believe that this was in a large part due to Sorresto collars which was making her vomit then her vet prescribed sympirica. I feel so guilty now that I thought I was doing what was best for her. I have been doing some research. I have changed my other 2 dogs diet and will never again use conventional flea and tick treatments!! I have since fired my vet and found another one that specializes in natural medicine.

      So sorry for the loss of your buddy♥️. I lost my precious toy fox terrier, Lila, who was only 9 years old. My vet’s office recommended the Sorresto collar for her and she had a seizure in the middle of the night that required me to drive 30 miles, with her screaming the entire way, to an emergency vet. They stabilized her and sent her home the next day. $1,300 for that visit. She never fully recovered; was walking into walls and just falling down. She had a second seizure 3 days later and was euthanized at my vet’s office. NONE of those involved with her care wanted to hear about that flea collar and denied any possibility of it being the cause. I told a friend what had transpired and he said their cat had the same thing happen about 2 weeks after they put a Sorresto collar on her!

    When I go horseback riding and the Deer Flies, Black Flies, Gnats and mosquitoes are terrible, I look for or bring with freshly picked Catnip plants! I crush up and mangle the whole plant in my hands then wipe the plant and my hands all over my horses heads and special areas where these bugs love to bite! Chest, groin, under jaws and even myself! When I do THIS to protect my barn cats, you have to do it FAST because they get SO HIGH and playful, they can get crazed and wild! I've been accidentally bitten, so go fast on cats! If you put it on dogs...cats will love them but the flying, biting pests leave them alone. Catnip grows wild and really fast! Try transplanting some in your gardens, too!

    I haven’t used prescription flea medication for my dogs in over 25 years. I always have a dog or two in my life since I’m five years old. I’m 73. I do everything holistic even when I buy the kibble it Hass to be all natural I even buy either the freeze dried or dehydrated raw dog food and I make them my own chicken soup for them and they get bone broth. I also give them fermented probiotic foods that I make for myself. Such as Kiefer and fermented carrots. They are healthy as can be, they have no fleas. I have no flea infestation they have a beautiful coat. They are lovable they have a beautiful personality. They are very affectionate and well behaved, and I have no issues with them, because I treat them as those in my children. Which I love them just like they’re my children and I make sure I have time for them each day. We truly are a family. We connect very well with each other. And they do not destroy anything in the house or outside of the house.❤

      @@susan4981 I’m not sure about what safe for cats. I don’t know when a cat I have only dogs. To start off with my house has no rugs. I have tile floors throughout my whole house. In fact, I just have one tile pattern through the whole house. I cover my furniture with blankets and sheets, so they don’t dirty my furniture and I wash them at least once a week I definitely vacuum. I also underneath my my sofa and chairs anything upholstered I sprinkle baking soda, and then I am put the blanket over it or the sheets this way absorbs odors, and it also kills fleas and mites and bedbugs. As far as what I feed my dogs as I make them chicken soup and I put carrots and celery in a few spices in the broth. I don’t know cats could have that. I’ve heard that nutritional yeast are added to their food helps with the fleas. When I give them a bath, I leave the shampoo in a few minutes and I use shampoo like Castile soap with a little bit of baking soda in it, and I leave it on there code for a few minutes, so in case they have any fleas, the soap kills them. And then I rinsed them with the apple cider vinegar solution because vinegar also kills fleas and keeps their hair soft and it’s pH balance, and kills bacteria and fungus on their skin. I brush them at least every other day to make sure they have no knots in mats and get all the loose hair off. And they spray them with apple cider vinegar. A few drops of lavender oil diluted in water and spray bottle before I comb down I clean your ears with witch hazel. I brush their teeth with coconut oil. I give them fermented foods and probiotics. My German shepherd eat, sauerkraut, carrots, and she loves milk kefir. Both goat and whole milk and I give my Yorky the Kiefer. He does not like fermented foods at all. The broth I get from the soup I give them. I know that sounds like a lot of work. But it really isn’t. It’s just a routine that I have and it works. They don’t have fleas. And I also clean the bottom of the pads and sometimes I rub oregano oil diluted with coconut oil. That’s about it. Good luck.

    My tiny dog had a terrible reaction to the Lyme vaccine. She started vomiting foam for 2 hours straight. My vet wouldn't acknowledge it was a reaction because it happened 2 days later. She wanted to give my dog the Lepto shot that same day, but I told her I would prefer to split them up. My dog wasn't right for at least a couple months afterwards, very lethargic all the time. Until I gave her homeopathic Thuja, and she finally recovered. That was her last vaccine, we never went back for the Lepto.

She was so infested I had no choice ,however it did cut down on fleas, but didn’t get rid of them. So I am now combing her four a five times a day as well as applying the DE. I find because fleas jump a lot,They don’t crawl over the DE to get dried out. I am using the DE in the garden to prevent fleas there as well as in my home until I get this under control. I will never again use these chemicals, but my poor girl was just so miserable with so many fleas.

    My dog developed neurological problems following use of seresto collars.
    It took us 3YEARS to work out what the problem was. I wrote to Bayer and they replied that it was obvious the dog wasn't used to a collar, or that it was put on too tightly.
    Laughable
    I kept a diary and wrote again, asking how they explained the symptoms.
    They couldn't, and eventually they gave us compensation - a very small amount though.

    Nice video, thanks! But I'm puzzled by some vets' approach.

Yet when promoting essential oils (EOs), they often list stuff (cedar, sage, rosemary, eucalyptus ...) containing compounds identified as convulsive agents. 'Natural' doesn't automatically mean safe, especially for our neurologically sensitive companions.

    I do lightly cooked meat and or raw. The cooked I have mixed in some garlic and or AC Vinegar and they haven't picked up any ticks since. I didn't think any thing of it until I found a tick crawling up my leg. They were sticking their faces in foliage in the woods where they typically have picked up multiple ticks. I also bath them with spearmint natural soap. I also stopped vaccines last year since my boy had a very bad reaction to one of the mixed vaccines. I was told they have had issues with it in the past with bad reactions to death. I was pissed because there was no informed disclosure on it. The reaction was fairly quick as he woke me up whining in the middle of the night of the day he got the vax. He couldn't walk and was in great pain. His chest and arm was extremely swollen. I thought he was going to die. I'm calm in these situations but this boy means a lot to me so I was a bit frantic, out of character. Within a month he had a lump appear on his chest. Went back and they said it's a lipoma and it wasn't from the vax reaction. I'm not convinced it wasn't caused by the toxic vax since he's 5 and we eat healthy as well as very active. We haven't been back since.

    Just found your channel recently. It is wonderful. I found four feral kittens and a young mother living behind a carport at my job site. I started helping them out. But the mother abandoned the kittens far too early for them to survive so my wife and I made the decision to adopt them. We already have four rescue cats and on top of that these cats are feral so they cannot be handled or around other animals. Therefore I built a massive outdoor fenced in structure the entire length of my house with a ramp that leads down into my basement that I basically turned into the forest where I found them. I insulated the floor and then brought all of the leaves and shelters I made them and sticks and branches. They basically have the same exact life with just less real estate and no dangers. My question is this. I want to protect them as much as I can from Heartworms as we live in Michigan and it is a viable threat. how do I do that with cats that I cannot touch or handle? I cannot spray in all natural flea preventative on them because they won't let me near them. Any suggestions? Please help.

    In the 1800's, a writer called Ellen G. White wrote: Drugs never cure disease, they simply change the form and location of the disease. I do believe these words still hold true in many cases. Her books are excellent for crazy insights into holistic health, like her book: Ministry of Healing, completed in 1905 or somewhere there. She had incredible wisdom regarding true causes of disease and using the laws of nature to support health.

I have been giving her the drops down the back every other month but strongly considering not doing that any more. She eats what we eat for supper like the farmers used to do with their dogs plus a very high quality kibble mixed in. She is not vaxed to the hilt, just distemper, parvo and rabies given separately a month apart. I use a diy mosquito/tick spray with cedar, lemon and other EO's that I use on her head and nose, down her back. I can't get near her with a comb and she won't let me near her toes or under her arms or legs. That's an issue.

      I've been rubbing those ingredients into a bit of olive oil, (glass bottles) rub it through my hands, and wipe my dogs underside and inside legs. And groin. I'll rub his coat. No spray bottle , he hates it. Then I'll comb him through when we have rub pet time.
      He's 13, I got her m 7 months ago when he was too sick for parents to care for 24/7.
      He was a nipper, biter growler.. but for that 6 weeks depended on me even to pee and poop.
      Never had pets before, but knew I didn't want conventional so did what if do for me. He even lets me trim his nails.
      If he got a few fleas, he is more likely to let me do it, because he had them when sick and had paralyse so couldn't even scratch. So I warmed water and olive oil and sat on a towel just massaging it in little by little. Fleas couldn't move and I combed them out.
      Hehis a tiny Chihuahua. But was quite defensive.
      Now , with no commercial dog food, and natural treatments. Hey s like a puppy/ cat/ deer.. lol
      A different dog ..

      This dog peed "jello" a bit before he got sick. After a monthly drop.
      We still dont know what it was. Perhaps Parvo. It's a mystery disease they said killing many cats and small dogs. 3 vets wanted to put him down. But he kept eating. And watering. And pooping and peeing. I had to hold him to do and spoon feed.
      But I wouldn't want to "go" either if I was eating filet mignon and sirloin everyday. ( Among other foods. Pumpkin, squash, oregano, garlic, low heat wilted spinache, carrots, banana, blueberry honey vinegar ACV w/mother. White an wild rice bits I soaked to capacity in bone broth. Chicken, pork loin. Raw ground Liver,
      I've added small dog kibble back, but it's soaked in bone broth each night for next day.

    I brought on a stray barn cat from a farm in PA that was EXTREMELY sick. After over a year of taking this cat in for antibiotics nothing helped. He would get better shortly, then fall back into his upper respiratory issue would come right back. I started giving him a small amount of garlic in his food, and he is FINALLY getting better. He's like a different cat.

We usually buy tick pills because we take them in around grassy areas. We are not buying anymore tick pills. And we don't vaccinate our dogs anymore. We are trying to find natural solutions instead

      @@thenaturalpetdoctor I didn't realise just how many things we can do to support our dog's health and immune system, or the methods we can use to deter parasites without having to give him pesticides. I also wasn't aware of how effective catnip essential oil can apparently be for deterring mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas. I made Dr Karen Becker's repellent spray and am especially pleased that cedarwood essential oil can calm our dog *and* deter ticks and fleas. We live in a high-risk area for ticks, so vigilantly checking is still #1.

    Hello Dr. Woodley, I really, really enjoyed your presentation! Thank you so much! I have a female melanois and a kitten. I use natural oils on them, I feed my dog raw meat with diced fresh garlic 5 days out of each month, etc...But did not know about using milk thistle to detoxify them. We had a flea infestation on the dog recently, and it has been a challenge to get rid of them. We also sprayed Dawn dish soap all over our yard, and that seems to help somewhat. I will definitely subscribe to your channel. I believe in taking care of ourselves, our pets, and our environment in a natural manner. Again, many thanks for such an informative presentation.

      And you have to crush it and let it sit for 10-15 minutes, so that the allicin (the beneficial component of garlic) gets activated. If you eat garlic immediately, without exposure to air, it’s basically useless, except to flavor your dishes. The allicin is what makes garlic a super food, and allicin needs air to become super 😉.
