Commercial Dog Flea Treatment

Does the good outweigh the bad when using a dog flea treatment? Do you really need to spend money for this medicine every single month for canine flea control?

Why do we call it dog flea medicine, medication, treatment or control? This isn't medicine, it's poison! This is a result of effective advertising. After all, medicine makes you feel like you're helping your dog conquer a problem, while poison probably makes you envision the universal sign of the skull and crossbones. Reading the word pesticide on the label tells you what you are really putting on your dog.

Canine Flea Control Commercials

The latest one I saw shows a beautiful healthy dog doing something adorable. In the background you hear a sweet, caring woman's voice. She starts with, "If you love your dog, you'll use..."

Bless my husband. He puts up with me making faces, listens to my guttural noises and ignores when I blurt out something like, "Why don't they show the dog just drinking that shit!" or "Call it like it is, a toxic poison that will help your lazy ass get rid of fleas while your dog's life is shortened from liver disease!" He knows I'm right but I'm sure he's tired of hearing it.

And then there's my biggest complaint. Why don't they have to list side effects like with human medications? They could list things like, "May cause vomiting, headaches, neurological dysfunctions, liver damage and possibly death."

Have You Read the Label?

Have you noticed on the instructions YOU are suppose to wear gloves so it doesn't touch your skin? If it does, you must rinse for several minutes under water.

Ever gotten any on you? Burns doesn't it?

Under Storage and Disposal it says, "If partly filled, call your local solid waste agency for disposal instructions."

So, do you really need to spend money for this dog flea treatment every single month for canine flea control? No! If you have a dog really suffering from a flea infestation, use it once and then switch to natural flea control. The least toxic pesticide at the time of this writing is Imidacloprid which is found in the regular flea control Advantage.

One final story from a member of one of my online dog groups. She said the same day she put one of the less toxic dog flea treatments on her Retriever, he went swimming in a nearby pond. The following day when they passed the pond, there were numerous dead fish floating on the surface.

And remember every time you put one of these flea treatments on your dog, you compromise his health to some degree. If you love your dog, use sparingly or not at all.
